Republican dicklickers approve, demand daddy scam them harder
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/28/trump-pardons-nikola-trevor-milton-ceo-securities-fraud-electric-vehicle.html President Donald Trump pardoned Nikola Corp. founder Trevor Milton for his October 2022 conviction of federal crimes related to defrauding investors with false claims about the success of the electric and hydrogen-powered truck maker.
Milton, 42, was sentenced in December 2023 to four years in prison, but he has been free since then pending an appeal of the former CEO's criminal conviction on securities and wire fraud charges in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
The pardon came two weeks after federal prosecutors urged District Court Judge Edgardo Ramos to order Milton to pay restitution of $680 million to Nikola shareholders, and another $15.2 million to Peter Hicks, a victim of his wire fraud.
Because of the pardon, Ramos could not order restitution of any kind.
"Oh my gosh, oh, you won't believe what just happened," Milton said in an Instagram video posted on his personal account Thursday. "Probably the best day I've had in five years."
"I just got a call from the president of the United States, on my phone, and he signed my full and unconditional pardon of innocence," said Milton, who appeared to be driving a vehicle in the video.
"I am free. The prosecutors can no longer hurt me," he said. "They can't destroy my family, they can't rip everything away from me, they can't ruin my life."
The White House confirmed the pardon.
Defense attorneys for Milton did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A spokesman for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office, which prosecuted Milton, declined to comment on the pardon.

The Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office, when it obtained an indictment against Milton in 2021, said some investors defrauded by his scheme "suffered tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses, including, in certain cases, the loss of their retirement savings or funds that they had borrowed to invest in Nikola."

"I wish judges would stop believing whatever the prosecutors feed them so Americans could trust the justice system again," he said. "Until that happens, our justice system will continue to erode until there is nothing left."

>>1396490 I dunno. Which one got served with a subpoena, lied to investigators that everything was turned over in response to that subpoena, and then got caught hiding evidence, and then got caught destroying evidence they were hiding evidence?

>>1396492 ...Biden?
The fbi found that biden stole classified documents and wilfully exposed them to people who had no clearance when he was a VP, told everybody it wasn't a big deal when he was caught, then special counsel Robert Hur refused to prosecute him because he was too retarded to stand trial.
He also gave his son and a bunch of other people presumptive pardons for a period of 11 years, despite not actually been convicted in a court of law, and never actually disclosing what the fuck they did to earn those pardons.

>wilfully exposed them to people who had no clearance when he was a VP The first batch they found was in a sealed envelope dating back to his previous time in office. And there literally would not have been an investigation had he not turned them over to the feds when his lawyer found them.
There is no evidence anyone without clearance saw any of them. Trump meanwhile had people without clearance moving that shit around on camera and is on audio recording showing off shit to people without clearance. And that was when he was no longer in office.
Also there's no record of Biden showing jack shit to anyone without clearance when he was VP, but even if he had, that would not have been illegal, cause VPs can read anyone into whatever the fuck they want under federal law just like the president.
>told everybody it wasn't a big deal when he was caught It wasn't. Accidentally walking off with shit happens all the time. That's why it's never fucking prosecuted. It's treated as a clerical fuckup as long as you come forward and report it. Which Biden did.
>then special counsel Robert Hur refused to prosecute him because he was too retarded to stand trial. Actually his stated reasoning was that he didn't believe a jury would convict and a prosecution under those facts without clear intent would come across as politically motivated.
>He also gave his son and a bunch of other people presumptive pardons for a period of 11 years And good on him for seeing what a lawless administration Trump would run
>despite not actually been convicted in a court of law Yeah. That's how pardons work.
>and never actually disclosing what the fuck they did to earn those pardons. You aren't supposed to fucking "earn" pardons, corrupt shitbag.
I swear to fuck, every accusation is a confession with you motherfuckers.

>>1396513 >Yeah. That's how pardons work. Pardons are usually issued when at least there is a known incident and presumptive charges. Most pardons are given after the person has been found guilty and is serving a sentence.
Even Nixon's pardon was more specific than the pardons received by Hunter, Fauchi and Milley. Especially since the later two don't have any known wrongdoing.

There are laws, procedures and facilities specifically designed to prevent that from happening.
Hillary got in trouble because she ordered her aides to strip off the protective watermarks on classified documents, photocopy them, and send them to her home email server because she didn't want to walk into the office.
>Actually his stated reasoning was that he didn't believe a jury would convict He was appointed by Merrick Garland, who was appointed by Biden. It was just one big circle of ass-covering.
>Yeah. That's how pardons work. No, it's not.
In order to accept a pardon you actually need to admit guilt for a specific crime. None of these people have been charged with crimes besides Hunter IIRC.

>>1396307 If Trump pardoned him, then it wasn't fraud. Everyone Trump has pardoned has been the victim of the leftist judiciary and their enablers. Trump does not make mistakes, just like he does not have mercy or kindness. He is Jesus's Angel of Fiery Vengeance.

>>1396519 >Pardons are usually issued when at least there is a known incident and presumptive charges So, to be clear pardons are not necessarily issued when a person has already been charged.
Also, if there aren't presumptive charges, what are you bitching about? Oh no, they didn't do enough crime! You can't pardon them yet! Fuck off.
>>1396567 >There are laws, procedures and facilities specifically designed to prevent that from happening. And they fail. All the time.
>Hillary got in trouble because she ordered her aides to strip off the protective watermarks on classified documents, photocopy them, and send them to her home email server because she didn't want to walk into the office. And they reminded her that wasn't allowed and refused. Which is why she didn't get in trouble for that shit. She got in trouble for unrelated incidents where aids and other officials included classified information in emails to her that were sent to a server that wasn't intended to have classified information. They couldn't even prove she read any of that shit let alone ordered it. You're conflating incidents. You're lying again.
>He was appointed by Merrick Garland, who was appointed by Biden. He was a Republican and Biden didn't need his ass covered because nobody's ever been prosecuted for mishandling classified information without either mishandling so much that they should have known better, deliberately refusing to cooperate with its return, or evidence they took it intentionally. None of which fucking applied.
>In order to accept a pardon you actually need to admit guilt for a specific crime No. You don't. See: the Civil War amnesty
Y'all can't stop lying to run cover for Trump.
