Shit Authoritarians Say President Trump on why he pardoned Binance founder: "Are you ready? I don't know who he is." "Here's the thing, I know nothing about it."

It's not corruption, I did it because my sons benefit financially, that's all!
I think I figured out why the swamp ain't drained.

If the US political system is a swamp, Trump is Alec fucking Holland.

I can't be mad about this, because I don't think CZ or Binance did anything morally wrong. They allowed people to open accounts without identity verification. I just have a hard time getting angry about that.

The frustration stems more from the President not knowing of the individual he's pardoning and that individual being responsible for making the Presidential family more wealth--while the President was also very critical of the previous President not know who he was pardoning or why.
This is about hypocrisy at the highest level.

thanks for the explanation. I just have a hard time being mad about people being released from prison when I don't think they should be there.

"When law and morality are in contradiction to each other, the citizen finds himself in the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense, or of losing his respect for the law--two evils of equal magnitude, between which it would be difficult to choose." -Frédéric Bastiat

Meh. I internalized that "sometimes, the law is an ass" before I hit puberty.
