the most corrupt administration in my lifetime
New York Times article reads: "Mr. Zhao had pleaded guilty to money-laundering violations in 2023 and served four months in federal prison, after a yearslong investigation by financial regulators and U.S. prosecutors. “President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden administration in their war on cryptocurrency,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on Thursday. “The Biden administration’s war on crypto is over.” The pardon was the latest example of how high-profile business partners of Mr. Trump and his family have benefited from his rollback of the wide-ranging crypto crackdown orchestrated by President Joseph R. Biden Jr. To seek the pardon, Mr. Zhao hired lawyers and lobbyists with ties to the Trump administration, while Binance struck a business deal with World Liberty Financial, the Trump family’s crypto start-up."

Steve Vladeck: Scott keeps trying to make this a political conversation. I‘d like to get back to the law here. And the law here is that he was removed to El Salvador in defiance of a court order that literally said he could not be removed to El Salvador.

Scott Jennings: He had due process!
