President Donald Trump said that he is "going to look at" pardons for the individuals who were convicted of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer when asked by reporters in the Oval Office. He added that he thought the trial for them was a "railroad job."
"I'm going to look at it. I will take a look at it. It's been brought to my attention. I did watch the trial. It looked to me like somewhat of a railroad job. I'll be honest with you, to me, like some people said some stupid things," Trump said. "You know, they were drinking, and I think they said stupid things, but I'll take a look at that. And a lot of people are asking me that question from both sides. Actually, a lot of people think they got railroaded."
Another step toward the destruction of America!

The fact that Obama didn't pardon Leonard Peltier immediately upon assuming office is, in retrospect, a scandal of first order.

Probably even a nice monetary settlement.
