Trump pardons Fiore (R), clearing former Las Vegas councilwoman after fraud conviction

[RandySF]

President Donald Trump has pardoned former Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore, a Republican who was convicted of wire fraud charges last year for using money intended for a fallen police officer’s memorial for her personal use.

Fiore was set to be sentenced next month on her conviction of six counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Each count would have carried a maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment.

Fiore announced the pardon in a Facebook post on Thursday.

“Today, I stand before you — not just as a free woman, but as a vindicated soul whose prayers were heard, whose faith held firm, and whose truth could not be buried by injustice,” the post said.

A court filing made shortly after Fiore’s post included Trump’s “full and unconditional pardon” of Fiore, which was made on Wednesday.

2. Pardons for those who violently attack police and steal from a dead policeman's memorial dollars.

After the Trump family stole from a children's cancer charity.

3. I don't suppose she can be prosecuted under Nevada state law can she?

No pardon for state charges.

4. In her favor: 1. Repug friends in the right places, 2. a fraud offense that the Rump family does all the time and ...

3. another Biden era prosecution undone.

It would not surprise me in the least if the right palms were also greased with some of the ill-gotten loot.
