Donald Trump pardon? What to know about Charles Kushner, Steve Bannon, other top allies.
"In 2005 Charles Kushner, was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering after hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, arranging to record a sexual encounter between the two, and sending the tape to his sister. He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, which he served in the Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery. As a convicted felon, he was also disbarred in three states. The case was prosecuted by Chris Christie, who said Kushner had committed "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he had ever prosecuted. He later received a pardon issued by his son's father-in-law, President Donald Trump, on December 23, 2020.

Is it really a question of ethics? Isn't it more so a question of what powers and authority should be vested in the executive branch of the federal government?

Pointing out Dinesh was pardoned isn't some gotcha, that's the point. The hypocrites wouldn't shut up when it was him. Democraps bitch and whine and piss themselves when Trump does it, and then break their own pledge to do the same.

His son was facing sentencing in a few days I think so it had to be some time in early December. This is all dumb faux outrage though. If Biden had appointed a special prosecutor to investigate Ivanka, and had found some criminal activity, Trump would pardon her day 1 and no one would do anything other than furrow their brow and say "Norms should be respected." Susan Collins would he "concerned" and you might get one guy in the National Review saying it was bad but Clinton and Obama also did bad pardons. Pretending otherwise is dumb.

As a mature person he has the right to change his mind. > It's not surprising when Trump steamrolls norms because that's his whole appeal, frankly.
Dictators do their biz by steamrolling. This is one of the reasons Trump admirers dictators.
One would think Trump would want the very best person for the job instead of one that is going to raise so many eyebrows.
What's it matter. He already lost, and he'll be retiring now. And it's not like he can trust the Dems to have his back when it comes to his son (or anything, really).
He's probably mad as hell that he got forced out of the election and they went on to lose embarrassingly, and now he don't give a fuck and he's just looking out for #1.

Yes and he has learned that there is no such thing as one-sided norms enforcement. Either everyone plays by the rules or no one does. The outcome of the election instructed that no one does, and Biden behaved accordingly.

Guessed you missed THIS
"Former President Donald Trump drew a torrent of criticism when he told Fox News' Sean Hannity earlier this month he wouldn't be a dictator "except on Day One" of a second administration."

Leading up to that interview, far-left media outlets repeatedly claimed that he would be a malevolent dictator for all four years. Sound like we got off light!

Ahhh, all the American Presidents do that when their term is nearly over, right? It's a perk of the job, you get to do a few vanity pardons before you leave. It's a harmless and quaint tradition.

That's really all there is to know, the guy's not on anyone's radar except the Republican PR hit squad. He's nothing to anyone in real life. It's like the Hillary email bongos all over again.
