Here is a shameless handout of taxpayer cash to Mike Flynn, Trump's crony and co-conspirator. Flynn was GUILTY. He pled guilty. Trump pardoned him.

Imagine if Biden had shifted $1.25 million to some crony of his.

The NY Times knows this, but they can't help themselves. They accept the transparently bogus framing: that this is a "settlement"; that it "puts to rest a lawsuit"; that it provides "legal relief."

The agreement was an extraordinary example of how the Trump administration has offered legal relief to those aligned with the president.
