For Mr. Archer, his wife and their three adolescent children, it was a huge relief. It freed him from having to serve any part of his prison sentence of one year and one day, and from having to pay nearly $60 million in forfeitures and restitution.

NYT, who gives a fuck that he’s married and has kids? He’s a fucking scumbag.

    It’s borderline reflexive at this point. The family members are victims, but the people who deserve that restitution that they now won’t receive don’t even get a mention. I guess they can still sue since a pardon doesn’t cover civil liability, but that’s beside the point.

      Well you do elect the god king that can supercede all other powers at all times. I mean sometimes the god king doesn’t even have the backing of half the people who showed up to vote, sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give him supreme powers over all, surely? We got this 250 year old rag that says he does if interpreted by people directly benefitting from that being the case and where would we be if we weren’t beholden to 200 year dead slaveowners?

    It’s sad that they get away with this shit, but it is kind of funny that the Trump administration does this stuff that like, pre-schoolers could see the unfairness and hypocrisy in.
