So, Trump pardoned former reality show stars, Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie Chrisley, from a decade long prison sentence for income tax evasion (among other things). More correctly, I probably should have said Trump pardoned Julie Chrisley and her accomplice husband, Todd, because it was Julie who was the ringleader of this whole caper. These pardons, as a result of tireless lobbying on their behalf by their daughter, Savannah.
Trump pardons Chrisleys
I like Trump generally speaking, but I am NOT okay with these pardons! This, for several reasons. First of all, both of them were caught dead to rights evading millions of dollars in federal income taxes (something Trump has stood against). And secondly, I take issue with persons who are rightfully convicted and justly sentenced for their crimes being pardoned. It's a different matter to pardon someone who was either wrongly convicted, or who was given an unduly harsh sentence, for minor crimes. But the Chrisley's fall into neither of these categories and their pardon was wrong. Period.
I also want to point something else out here. Just because I may be favorable towards Trump does NOT mean I won't call out something he, or anyone else, does as being wrong. This, unlike most democrats who are willing to overlook the fact that their guy wasn't even present for minimally the last two entire years of his presidency. I'm not like that. I call a spade a spade...and these pardons of the Chrisley's are a 'spade'.
I also have an issue with this little strumpet daughter of theirs being able to lobby a sitting president, any president, to free her criminal daddy and mommy. This wanna-be pageant queen (who looks more like a guy) should get stopped at the front gate just like everyone else.
That's my opinion, and I'm stickin' to it!
What say you?
