    This. Likely followed papa Kushner model and made a large donation to his PAC which DT sees as his personal slush fund

    You all are awesome with your gotcha yea team posts.

    Bottom line is if proven without doubt, whoever rapes a child should be hung in public for everyone to witness. That’s my opinion. I don’t care who the f you are, social or financial status, nationality, sex, etc. Until people realize the repercussions this crap will continue to occur in great numbers.

    If he is pardoned he is no longer consider guilty, if the sentence is commuted, he is still guilty, just doesn't serve the rest of his sentence. Big difference.

    the big difference is incarceration

    “in July 2016, he was convicted of bribery and was later sentenced to seven years in federal prison. He was released in 2019 after he received a commutation from Trump”

    No it’s not.

    That said…Trump granted the third fewest pardons and commutations. As I said…with you it is only about “Trump”.

    “Trump granted 237 acts of clemency during his four years in the White House, including 143 pardons and 94 commutations. Only two other presidents since 1900 – George W. and George H.W. Bush – granted fewer acts of clemency than Trump.

    His predecessor, Barack Obama, granted clemency 1,927 times over the course of eight years in office, the highest total of any president going back to Harry Truman. Obama’s total was skewed heavily toward commutations (1,715) instead of pardons (212).”

    Trump used his clemency power sparingly despite a raft of late pardons and commutations

    Probably just because not many people have the cash on hand to meet his price, which was $2 million, according to some insiders.

    I am not defending this creep by no means, but you do realize when Trump comminated the sentence there was no hint, allegations or rumors that this had been going on. Quite the contrary from what I have read about this place. But don't let facts get in the way of another Trump smear attempt. Trump does quite well enough on his own, that you don't need to make stuff up!!

    Maybe he should have done some "extreme vetting" on his pardons instead of the Mexican strawberry pickers.

    You all do realize the charges are against an employee not Suhl.
    Probably not because you don't take the time to find out, just a chance to bitch about Trump.

    First, it's a civil lawsuit, not "charges", and secondly, right there in the 4th paragraph of the OP ... "The lawsuit against Suhl and others claims ..."

    You should take the time to find out.

    Read a little a further and it states an employee.

    Hmmm ... not seeing it. Seems the victims think the owners and operators are also liable for their childhood rapes.

    “Men and women who owned, operated, and staffed the facility preyed on and abused the children housed on the remote facility in Warm Springs, Arkansas, routinely and systematically,” the lawsuit filed on Monday in federal court said.

    The lawsuit against Suhl and others claims the unnamed residents were victims of repeated sexual abuse and rape by an employee of the facility, describing the abuse in graphic detail. The employee, who is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, had not been charged by police with abuse.

    Yeah ... this is a civil case that includes liability for enabling the abuse, not a criminal case of child abuse ...

    That's explained quite clearly in the link in the OP ... not sure what you think you are proving.

    look at the list of Inmate P01135809’s pardons. So many political favors or sinister individuals involved with large financial theft and embezzlement. Did they give him bribes? To inmate P01135809 defense, he’s not really a good businessman and inept leader and that info would come out. Jeesk he gave out top military secrets at Mara largo endangering our military and had boxes of confidential info just laying around. He’s not too bright.
