and was the basis of his prosecution/punishment. Fuck off with this "look, we're breaking news!!!1!!!1 OMG1!!" bullshit... There is no really new news here. Just a rehash of previously known awfulness.

To claim Trump's pardon is "even more appalling" gives him cover in the future *citing your article* to claim he was "unfortunately" or "inexplicably" unaware of, uh..., something... WHICH IS TOTAL BULLSHIT.

All of this was known to the relevant parties *AND (for the most part) THE PUBLIC/MEDIA* at the time of the pardon -- WHICH WAS WHY THE PARDON WAS NEWS in the first place, ya fucksticks!
