Summary

Donald Trump pardoned former Tennessee state senator Brian Kelsey, who served only two weeks of a 21-month sentence for a campaign finance scheme.

Kelsey illegally funneled state campaign funds into his failed 2016 congressional bid and later tried to withdraw his guilty plea.

He claimed “God used Donald Trump to save me” from a “weaponized Biden DOJ.”

The pardon follows Trump’s decision to weaken the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section.

    If Trump pardons some terrorists, why not a little bit of pardon for every supporter?

    I mean, Trump is immune for all that fraud of his, so it’s only fair to pardon all fraud.

    We can look forward to four years of this trash.

      You’re never going back to the old way of doing things. Kiss that country goodbye.
