Interesting, but bailing out/pardoning banks is a crappy thing to do.
Of course Obama gets a pass, but is that surprising?
Five year waiver DB, that's not right at all.
Jesus Christ!
Does everyone here have a reading comprehension problem?
Where is the f### did I ever defend it or even marginalize it?
I think giving banks a pass is wrong.
It was wrong when Bush did it.
It was wrong when Obama did it.
It was wrong when Trump did it.
I have always been consistent in this.
Yet people will marginalize or even excuse Obama, which I find hypocritical!

Trump issued zero pardons to banks. Read the article, the headline doesn't match the content.
In financial news, the International Business Times reports the Trump administration has quietly waived part of the punishment for five major banks that were convicted of manipulating global interest rates. The banks are Citigroup, JPMorgan, Barclays, UBS and Deutsche Bank. President Trump and his business empire owes at least $130 million in loans to Deutsche Bank. The global interest rate manipulation scandal, known as the Libor scandal, involved banks illegally manipulating the interest rate, which underpins trillions in global transactions.

If they caught Trump jerking off in the West Wing it wouldn't matter as long as the oligarchs make their money!

I watched as Obama pardoned an entire country and sent billions of US tax dollars illegally in the middle of the night for reparations
Top THAT
:
If your refering to Iran your wrong as no US tax money was involved.
The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it’s needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement.

Trump is going to clean up the swamp eh?
Trump constantly does things to make the tabloid and ratings hungry MSM keep their eyes off the ball and then goes and does corrupt actions that no body sees.
Here he pardons a bank that he owes millions of dollars to...
