In Oversight hearing, Walkinshaw is going thru Trump's fraud pardonees. He mentions a pardoned GOP politician who was convicted of bribery, and mentions Tom Homan along the way. "Where is the hearing on the $1.3B that Trump has relieved his pardon fraudsters of paying their victims?"

Pardoning affluent criminals has become standard operating procedure in the USA.

But for the victims, it really adds insult to injury.

As Walkinshaw says here: not only does the perpetrator go free, but suddenly the victims lose the right to claims that have been awarded to them in court.

The fraudsters give part of the claim to Trump and go free.

Pardoning criminals results in double injustice.
