      I mean it’s not wrong that they were some of the same people.

      If only this logic could be extended.

        It’s not that, it’s “I’m pardoning you because they’re after me” that just gets me with this one

    That’s one of those Trump things where, in the midst of doing a bunch of evil shit, he just does something completely off the wall that nobody expected and you can’t even really call evil and you’re just like “Wait what?”

      It was a demand from the Libertarian party, who Trump courted during the campaign. IIRC he promised to put a Libertarian in his cabinet if they supported him, seems to have been some sort of deal he made.

    Trump guts the federal government and frees the dark net market founder on the same day. Ancapistan is confirmed.

        I dunno what to believe or not believe regarding DPR, but yes there are allegations of that for sure.

        I just hate seeing a nerd locked up for facilitating drug dealing by co-opting CIA tech.
