All told, Mr. Trump’s clemency orders have erased at least $119 million in unpaid restitution since January 2025, a CBS News investigation has found.

By contrast, clemency orders by former President Joe Biden erased $14,000 during his four years in office, Justice Department records show. The vast majority of Biden’s orders were commutations that left financial penalties intact, rather than pardons.

    The grift which keeps on grifting.

    The whole family and every grifter who’s been in their pockets must be held to account, then held to the guillotine.

    Off with their fucking heads.

      Around 17,000 were beheaded in the French Revolution, including the King and Queen. Entire bloodlines were ended. If that were to happen today, not only would the entire Trump family get the guillotine, so would the families of Sociopathic Oligarchs like Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Zuckerfuck, et al.

    Interesting way to frame pardons. Can we retroactively apply it to all presidential pardons to date, including Obama etc? How much restitution losses to victims have other presidents caused in 2026 dollars?
