Trump is running about trying to convict his political enemies on bogus fraudulent charges, but sees fit to commute the sentence of A SELF ADMITTED liar and fraudster, who even lied on his own mother, because, according to the Felon in Chief, at least Santos had the intelligence to vote Republican.

Trump commutes sentence of former US Rep. George Santos in federal fraud case - AP via MSN
Btw, Blumenthal apologized for claiming he served in Vietnam, 15 YEARS ago, and UNLIKE TRUMP AND SANTOS, wes never found guilty of FRAUD.
Donald Trump said Friday he had commuted the sentence of former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who is serving more than seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft charges.
The New York Republican was sentenced in April after admitting last year to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of 11 people including his own family members to make donations to his campaign.
In explaining his reason for granting Santos clemency, Trump said the lies Santos told about himself were no worse than misleading statements U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal -- a Democrat and frequent critic of the administration -- had made about his military record.
This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! Trump wrote.
