Former GOP Rep. Stephen Buyer was sentenced to 22 months in prison in 2023 for trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist.
Donald Trump has issued a pardon to Stephen Buyer, a former Republican congressman from Indiana who served nearly two years in prison for making illegal stock trades based on inside information after he left office.
Buyer was sentenced to 22 months in prison in 2023 for trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000, representing the amount of the illegal gains, and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released in 2025.
The Supreme Court in May rejected Buyer’s appeal without comment or noted dissent.
Kamala would have done the \same thing
Once again Trump pardons someone for a crime he admires. I generally feel as if he does this as a way to pardon himself.
I wonder how Martha Stewart feels about that?
Martha Stewart: “It’s a good thing.”
It sounds like the guy has already served his sentence. What does pardoning him at that point even do?
Grant him access to functions and activities illegal when you have been condemned I guess.
The open corruption is maddening, and it’s frustrating that MAGAts completely ignore it. Remember when they used to chant about “draining the swamp?” What happened to that little slogan? I guess they’ve just stopped pretending MAGA was ever about anything besides bigotry. Meanwhile, the Epstein class keep robbing us blind. Useful idiots, the lot of 'em.
I believe the swamp was never what was clear… Perhaps the swamp were those in the way, regardless of any ethical concerns.
They don’t calk them the Gaslight, Obstruct, Project party for nothing. They’ve always been traitors.
