Longtime Massachusetts state Rep. David M. Nangle (D) on Tuesday was arrested and charged with illegally using campaign funds for personal expenses, as well as bank and tax fraud.
Nangle, who assumed state office in 1999, was indicted on 10 counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, nine counts of making false statements to a bank and five counts of filing false tax returns, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a statement. He was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon.
Nangle's attorney, William Connolly, told ABC News that the charges were nothing more than "allegations" and that he would" fight these charges in court." LINK

Kerik plead guilty for not reporting a loan and served his time. He was pardoned, and it really shouldn't ruffle any feathers (although libs will melt regardless). DeBartolo was in a similar situation. Trump was lobbied hard by guys like Jerry Rice on that one.
Blago was NOT pardoned. He had his 14 year sentence commuted. He's served 8 years for bribery and many agree that his original sentence was extremely harsh.
I think you a reading too much into all of this.

I just heard about Blago on the radio. I don’t think he’s pardoned him but simply commuted his sentence.
Hasn’t he served like a decade in prison?

I’m glad the President is taking advice from former pro football stars. That’ll certainly help him cut into the black vote in November.
All we need now is a pardon of O.J. for his past crimes.

Just doing what the Dems and many of us want - releasing non-violent criminals. If they can let the drug dealers out then I'm good with letting these guys out. As long as they have served a considerable part of their sentence I'm okay with it. Times are a'changing.

Pardoning and commuting are different things. Please learn the difference. As for blago.....downvote away, but the sentence was excessive He was a dirtbag and I don’t support commuting it, but 14 years was very surprising He has already served 12 years anyway.
As long as McCabe, Comey, Strzok, Hilldawg, Holder, Lynch...etc. are walking the streets I don't want to hear one peep about Trump letting a few low level criminals off the hook....Trump's probably sending a message to the Swamp their two tier justice system isn't without consequences.

Yes I'm sure the likes of McCabe/Comey/Stzrok/Page are quaking in their Cole Haans now that Trump has sprung Blago

I think you guys are all looking at this from the wrong angle. Don't focus on who got pardoned. Focus on who were the federal prosecutors in the cases involved.

He pardoning friends of his friends and his friends. Signaling pardoning Stone and Flynn which in all is not a great look.

Sounds like he's abusing his power of the pardon. Fire up the impeachment hearings!

Of course they're not worried...my point is Trump's showing the Swamp Skunks he's going to use his executive powers to mitigate some of the injustices handed down from the Swamp Justice System......who could blame him?

All these people were convicted by the same shady teams that were involved in the Meuller coup attempt. Seems to be the common thread.
