“I know that these men were undeserving of pardons because I was a member of The FBI Evidence Response Team that traveled to Iraq and investigated the site of these killings,” writes @tfoconnor83 https://t.co/BwvGTbbyAc

Merry Christmas from the Giant Orange Asshole
Just had to make everyone hang…
🚨🚨🚨President @realDonaldTrump has signed H.R. 133, an Act making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, providing coronavirus emergency response and relief, and for other purposes.

Trump says he signed covid relief package in a statement that includes the kind of lies we would hear in his photo ops. One of the glaring lies is that “the House and Senate have agreed to focus strongly on the very substantial voter fraud…” from the election. (Not true) pic.twitter.com/ppzauuvFmK

Pelosi delayed and damaged the country for months, but @realDonaldTrump just signed COVID Relief into law.

Paycheck Protection is renewed. Thousands of small businesses will be able to keep doors open and workers paid. Thank you, Mr. President, for putting people over politics.
He sure got what he wanted for Christmas
“‘Sit tight,’ Manafort apparently said. ‘We’ll be taken care of.’ Manafort’s bet paid off. His conspiracy against our country paid off. Because a corrupt, impeached, lame-duck president took care of him.”

Gee, I wonder who paid off Brett Cavanaugh’s debts?
The Federalist Society seems to know a lot of people with money:
NEW: A dark money group with no website, no employees and no apparent offices brought in $80 million in its first year of operation.
— Robert Maguire (@RobertMaguire_) October 23, 2020
The group’s sole trustee is Leonard Leo, the Trump judicial advisor who’s tied to millions spent on judicial nominations https://t.co/XPTV6ffx1y
Hey remember Rule of Law Trust? The dark money group tied to Leonard Leo that has no website, no employees, and no apparent offices but brought in $80 million in its 1st year?
— Robert Maguire (@RobertMaguire_) November 24, 2020
Turns out it got all of its money from just three anonymous donors who each gave more than $20 million pic.twitter.com/CuQfUvEjHz
Pardon me
Trump pardoned 20 people last night, including three convicted GOP politicians, mercenaries convicted of war crimes, two people from the Mueller investigation, and some others:
A tabulation by the Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith found that of the 45 pardons or commutations Mr. Trump had granted up until Tuesday, 88% aided someone with a personal tie to the president or furthered his political aims. https://t.co/an0Y7xY6dl

Good
I hope they sue Newsmax and Fox into oblivion:
Pro-Trump network Newsmax just aired a 2-minute video admitting that it has 'no evidence' of the outlandish fraud claims it made against two voting machine companies. Newsmax is facing potential defamation lawsuits from a pair of voting system companies. https://t.co/9D9L6rsddl
