Orange to pardon reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/trump-pardons-todd-julie-chrisley-reality-tv.html

President Donald Trump said he plans to pardon reality television stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted in 2022 of tax evasion and bank fraud.

Savannah Chrisley had been angling for a pardon and spoke at the Republican National Convention in 2024. Earlier this month, she appeared “My View,” the TV talk show hosted by Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, on Fox News Channel.

Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and Julie Chrisley was sentenced to seven years.

    Fuhgeddaboudit if you are not a loyal acolyte or are not wealthy!
    The stench of the Felonious Skunk permeates the atmosphere once again.


    "This is not at all how pardons normally work. Pardons are normally reserved for people who show remorse
    for a crime they have been convicted of and who have actually served at least some and typically all
    of their sentence and have shown personal growth and rehabilitation during that time.
    However, this administration appears to be using pardons in a completely different and new way,
    which is to reward people who demonstrate political loyalty to the administration. And that is unprecedented."


    "But now the ordinary people seem to have been completely forgotten.
    There are applications piled up at the Office of the Pardon Attorney from individuals who are incarcerated
    around the country, some of whom have been waiting years for their applications to be considered.
    And those are being ignored in favor of the wealthy and well-connected."

    And also the case of the former, disgraced sheriff in Virginia. Scott Jenkins. Another motherlover. Loyalty counts, nothing else. Badges? What badges? We don't need no stinking badges!
