Trump bribey-wibey-woo - update: Trump shakes down CBS news in $20B bullshit lawsuit for "emotional distress"
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
That's the best you have, you aren't trying very hard. Also, Biden didn't think anything, even you must understand that. And whoever decided that there should be pardons for the Biden crime family, knew they were guilty.
In fact, I'm not trying very hard because I don't have any respect for you and I normally ignore your posts and do more worthwhile shit than respond to you.
You and your buds have just jumped into the thread to troll it and post nothing useful.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A labor union leader who pleaded guilty to failing to report gifts from an advertising firm was pardoned by President Donald Trump on the eve of his sentencing hearing Wednesday, court records show.
James Callahan, of Lindenhurst, New York, was general president of the International Union of Operating Engineers when he accepted — but failed to properly report — receiving at least $315,000 in tickets to sporting events and concerts and other amenities from a company that the union used to place ads.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes was scheduled to sentence Callahan on Wednesday. On Tuesday, however, Callahan's attorneys notified the court of Trump's “full and unconditional” pardon and asked for the sentencing hearing to be vacated.
The pardon itself doesn't specify why Trump granted him clemency. The White House didn’t explain why Trump pardoned Callahan, whose union endorsed President Joe Biden for reelection over Trump in 2023. Callahan signed a letter that explained the endorsement.
The judge said she was “quite disappointed” to learn of Callahan's pardon after he accepted responsibility for his criminal conduct, according to a transcript of Wednesday's hearing.
“I don’t know why you were pardoned,” she said. “You weren’t pardoned because you were wrongfully convicted. You pled guilty to the misdemeanors. You weren’t pardoned because you were missentenced. Sentencing hadn’t even occurred. You weren’t pardoned because the law was somehow unfair, either in general or to you.”
Earlier this month, prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of six months for Callahan, calling him “one of the most powerful union leaders in the country.” They said Callahan’s salary and other compensation topped $500,000 annually. Now retired and living in Florida, he has a net worth of more than $5 million, according to prosecutors.
“That the Operating Engineers were unknowingly funding Defendant Callahan’s spree of pricey entertainments — a lifestyle his substantial salary could easily accommodate — is especially condemning,” they wrote.
Reyes told Callahan that, at a minimum, she would have sentenced him to 500 hours of community service.
“I can’t force you to do community hours. I can’t sentence you to them. But you can do them. No one’s going to stop you from doing them. You want to take your lumps? Do the hours,” she added.
Callahan declined to address the judge apart from saying that he “heard every word you said.”
Reyes pressed lawyers for Callahan and the government on how and when they learned of the pardon.
“Had Mr. Callahan applied for that pardon or it just came out of the blue?” the judge asked.
“Your Honor, I’m not going to answer those questions,” defense attorney David Schertler replied. "I don’t think that’s an appropriate inquiry for the court at this point."
The judge is holding Callahan’s sentence “in abeyance” — a temporary state of suspension — until prosecutors file a formal request to dismiss the case.
Ed Martin Jr., now the Justice Department's pardon attorney, was acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia when Callahan pleaded guilty on Jan. 29 to knowingly filing false annual reports with the U.S. Labor Department.
A spokesperson for Martin didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Schertler declined to answer questions about the pardon. He said in an email that Callahan is “extremely grateful for President Trump’s consideration and pardon and the opportunity to get back his life and his reputation.”
Callahan's plea agreement required him to repay the union $315,000 for the tickets and to immediately resign as union president.
“Those tickets and amenities properly belonged to the Operating Engineers, and yet Defendant Callahan used many of those tickets personally and provided other tickets to members of his family and persons who were not members of the Operating Engineers,” prosecutors wrote.
The Washington-based union that Callahan led represents nearly 400,000 heavy machinery operators on construction and industrial sites throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Trump pardons a labor union leader on the eve of sentencing for failing to report gifts
I don't have comprehensive data on the exact financial fees owed by individuals pardoned by Donald Trump during his second term (starting January 20, 2025). However, I can piece together information from available sources to provide an estimate based on notable pardons reported so far, focusing specifically on financial penalties such as restitution, fines, or other court-ordered fees that were wiped out by these pardons. Note that the data is limited to what has been publicly reported, and not all pardons may have associated financial penalties fully documented. Below is the tally based on available information:
That's all I want you to do Just try and piece together the info
Tally of Criminal Court Financial Fees Owed by Individuals Pardoned by Donald Trump in His Second Term (2025-Present)
Based on available information, the following is a tally of the criminal court financial fees (fines, restitution, or other court-ordered penalties) owed by individuals or entities pardoned by Donald Trump during his second term, starting January 20, 2025. The data is limited to publicly reported cases with specific financial penalty details, and I’ve focused exclusively on pardons from this term, as requested. Where exact figures are unavailable, I’ve noted assumptions or exclusions due to lack of data.
- Trevor Milton (Founder of Nikola Corp.)
- Crime: Convicted of fraud in 2022 for misleading investors about Nikola’s electric truck capabilities.
- Financial Penalty: Federal prosecutors estimated Milton owed approximately $680 million in restitution to defrauded shareholders, plus a potential $15.2 million to victim Peter Hicks for wire fraud. These amounts were not finalized by a judge at the time of the pardon.
- Status: Pardon issued in March 2025, wiping out these potential obligations.
- Amount: $680 million (estimated restitution) + $15.2 million (estimated wire fraud penalty) = $695.2 million.

- HDR Global Trading Limited (BitMEX) (Cryptocurrency exchange)
- Crime: Pleaded guilty to violating anti-money-laundering laws under the Bank Secrecy Act.
- Financial Penalty: Sentenced to a $100 million fine.
- Status: Pardon eliminated the fine before it was paid.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...liz-oyer-trump-pardons-restitution-1-billion/
- Four BitMEX Executives (Names not specified in sources)
- Crime: Pleaded guilty to financial crimes related to anti-money-laundering violations.
- Financial Penalty: No specific individual fines or restitution amounts are reported in available sources. It’s unclear if they owed additional penalties beyond the company’s $100 million fine. For this tally, I assume no additional individual financial penalties due to lack of evidence.
- Status: Pardons likely eliminated any personal financial obligations.
- Amount: $0 (due to insufficient data).
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...liz-oyer-trump-pardons-restitution-1-billion/
- Michele Fiore (Republican politician and activist in Nevada)
- Crime: Convicted in 2024 of misappropriating funds meant for a memorial for slain police officers, using them for personal expenses like plastic surgery and her daughter’s wedding.
- Financial Penalty: Oyer estimated Fiore owed at least $70,000 in restitution, based on the amount she was convicted of stealing, though this was not yet finalized by a judge at the time of the pardon.
- Status: Pardon issued in early 2025, wiping out the potential restitution.
- Amount: $70,000 (estimated).
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...liz-oyer-trump-pardons-restitution-1-billion/
- Paul Walczak (Florida businessman, former nursing home executive)
- Crime: Convicted of tax evasion to finance a lavish lifestyle, including purchasing a $2 million yacht.
- Financial Penalty: No specific restitution or fine amount is detailed in the sources. Tax evasion cases often involve restitution for unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest, but no figures are provided for Walczak’s case.
- Status: Pardon issued in early 2025, likely eliminating any financial obligations.
- Amount: $0 (due to lack of specific data).
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/a...al-pardons-for-political-allies-and-loyalists
- Scott Jenkins (Former Culpeper County, Virginia, sheriff)
- Crime: Convicted of federal bribery and fraud charges for accepting over $75,000 in bribes in a “cash-for-badges” scheme.
- Financial Penalty: No specific restitution or fine is mentioned in the sources beyond the $75,000 in bribes he was convicted of receiving, which is not necessarily a court-ordered financial penalty owed to victims or the government. For this tally, I assume no additional court-ordered financial penalties due to lack of evidence.
- Status: Pardon issued on May 26, 2025, likely eliminating any potential financial obligations.
- Amount: $0 (due to insufficient data).
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/05/26/trump-pardons-sheriff-bribes/
- Approximately 1,500 January 6 Defendants
- Crimes: Various offenses related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies like assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy.
- Financial Penalty: No comprehensive data exists on the total fines or restitution owed by these individuals. Some may have faced fines or restitution (e.g., for property damage or injuries), but specific amounts are not reported in aggregate. Given the large number of defendants (over 1,500 pardoned), individual penalties could range from hundreds to thousands of dollars each, but without detailed records, I cannot estimate a total.
- Status: Blanket pardon issued on January 20, 2025, wiping out all further punishment, including any financial penalties.
- Amount: $0 (due to lack of specific data).
Ross Ulbricht (Founder of Silk Road)- Crime: Convicted for operating the Silk Road dark web marketplace, facilitating illegal drug sales.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-storms-washington-hundreds-pardons-rcna189108
- Rod Blagojevich (Former Illinois Governor)
- Crime: Convicted of corruption, including attempting to sell a U.S. Senate seat.
- Financial Penalty: No specific restitution or fine amounts are mentioned for his second-term pardon. In his first-term commutation (2020), Blagojevich’s fines or restitution, if any, were not widely reported as significant. I assume no additional financial penalties for this tally.
- Status: Pardon issued in early 2025, likely eliminating any remaining obligations.
- Amount: $0 (due to lack of specific data).

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/02/trump-pardons-cost-liz-oyer
- The $978.27 million figure is dominated by Milton’s $695.2 million and Ulbricht’s $183 million, which are significant but not necessarily finalized amounts. Oyer’s claim of over $1 billion in total debts wiped out may include additional cases or estimates not detailed here.
- For many pardons (e.g., January 6 defendants, anti-abortion activists), specific financial penalty data is unavailable, so the total may be underestimated.
- I excluded cases without clear financial penalty details to avoid speculation, as instructed to piece together only available information.
- Some sources suggest additional pardons (e.g., Todd and Julie Chrisley), but no financial penalty details were provided, so they are not included in the tally.

I am glad you're not wasting too much energy on replying, but this whole thread is nothing but dribble without any value, but that's pretty normal for you.
On permanent ignore for you.
And what makes it even more appropriate is that your guy Trump just got his balls crushed by Federal Court striking down his tariffs in what is probably the most humiliating bitch-slapping for a president in American history. Suck that up and have a nice life.

It's a shame your folks didn't raise you to be able to be civil to those who don't share your viewpoint. Thanks for showing your true colors. Kids these days......

Telling someone they are 'full of shit' definitely tracks as swearing where I come from. In school if I had told one of my educators that they were 'full of shit' I would be sent to the principal's office. For what? Swearing. And general disrespect. I suggest if you can't express your feelings without profanity and abusive language maybe you should take a long hard look at what's bothering you to the point that you are disrespectful to those you interact with. Likely without even being consciously aware of your actions. Do better.
Oh, my mistake. Could you kindly point out what word(s) I spelled incorrectly so I can make corrections and do better next time? Thanks!
You should have a spell checker pointing out spelling errors already on your device. Usually, it comes in the form of a double underline directly under the misspelled word. You're welcome.Oh, my mistake. Could you kindly point out what word(s) I spelled incorrectly so I can make corrections and do better next time? Thanks!
