CNN Host On Trump Pardons: 'It's A Good Night To Be A Corrupt Republican Congressman'

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING CNN’s John Berman took aim at Donald Trump on Tuesday after the president announced a slew of pardons just weeks before leaving office. Among them are three former GOP congressmen who had committed financial crimes, two subjects of the Russia investigation, four Blackwater guards convicted in connection with the killings of Iraqi civilians, and two former Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed person crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. “It is a good night to be a corrupt Republican congressman, or a confessed liar from the Russia probe or a convicted murderer of Iraqi civilians,” Berman said. This batch includes former Republican lawmakers, two Russia probe figures and four military contractors involved in a massacre of civilians in Iraq.” CNN senior White House correspondent Pamela Brown said the pardons of former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and lawyer Alex van der Zwaan, both of whom pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, could be seen as a way for the president to return the favor of loyalty by those who did not cooperate with federal investigators.
