#Socialites, get into this: President Donald Trump just dropped another bombshell, and honestly? We’re barely surprised.
Late Sunday, Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin hit X with a major reveal. Trump pardoned Rudy Giuliani and a whole crew accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election. Martin even referenced his old “No MAGA left behind” message. He wasn’t kidding.
NBC says about 77 people are on the pardon list. We’re talking Trump-world regulars: Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff in 2020. Basically, the A-team of the “Stop the Steal” movement just got a “get outta jail free” card—even though most weren’t convicted of anything.
Here’s the proclamation, straight from Martin’s post:
“I, DONALD J. TRUMP, do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities in, or advocacy for or of any slate of presidential electors … in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election.”
It also covers:
“any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.”
In other words, if you were part of the “we wuz robbed” campaign from planning fake elector schemes to filing frivolous lawsuits, consider yourself blessed.
Interesting footnote: the pardon doesn’t apply to Trump himself. So while he’s handing out grace like communion, he left himself out.
Since returning to the Oval Office, Trump’s been on a mission to rewrite the 2020 narrative.
That’s the same saga that ended with the Jan. 6 Capitol storming. Trump’s message is clear: he’s not reliving the shame; he’s flipping the script.
And Giuliani? Whew, that man’s been through it. Earlier this year, a federal judge found him in contempt for dodging orders to show his assets to two Georgia election workers he defamed. Still, Trump announced back in September that he planned to honor Rudy with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
This isn’t Trump’s first “clean-up” tour either. In January, he handed out around 1,500 pardons and even commuted the sentences of 14 people connected to the January 6 attack including Proud Boys and Oath Keepers members. Nancy Pelosi wasn’t having it though, calling those earlier pardons “an outrageous insult to our justice system.”
Neither Trump nor the White House has released a statement. What are your thoughts?
