Meanwhile, families who won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against Schwartz havenโ€™t collected a cent.

A Nursing Home Owner Got a Trump Pardon. The Families of His Patients Got Nothing.

At least three families won multimillion-dollar wrongful death suits against former Skyline Healthcare owner Joseph Schwartz. They havenโ€™t collected a cent.

@ProPublica and the reaction if Obama or Biden did that? Donโ€™t know how he gets away with it.
@ProPublica people who voted for President Trump might finally realise that by electing a "successful businessman", they didn't become customers or shareholders, but products.
@ProPublica of course Laura Loomer advocated for this crook, what a scum bag she is

@ProPublica

i'm confident the nursing home owner paid for his pardon fair & square, while i doubt the families of defrauded patients paid even the tiniest token bribe to have their side of the case heard

when you live in a culture of corruption, where a man convicted of criminal fraud is allowed to run for & assume high office, you have to expect this outcome because your culture has already said fraud is no crime as long as it is perpetrated aga. ordinary people

@ProPublica Once again, you can't keep up with the shittiness of that disgusting moron, the king of Trumpistan.

@ProPublica

And I just watched the interview with Rubio on Al Jazzera going on about rule of law and due process. Why it is required for business to invest.

Meanwhile his gov is financing Russia to destroy Ukraine, and complaining about NATO in adjacent sentences.

Real split brain syndrome and double standards.

@ProPublica the ones who voted for Trump - fuck em.
@donlamb_1 @ProPublica I have no sympathy left for them. I'm sorry for all the other people suffering harm as the trump voters discover that they themselves are "those people" that they wanted to hurt ...
@ProPublica grifters protect grifters
@ProPublica Proof again that the Trump admin is deeply, deeply concerned about medicare and medicaid fraud.
@ProPublica the collapse signs are everywhere ๐Ÿ˜
