Trump pardons Nevada politician Michele Fiore

Because there are rules, don't blame the messenger:

President Donald Trump has pardoned a Nevada Republican politician who was awaiting sentencing on federal charges that she used money meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer for personal costs , including plastic surgery.
Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman and state lawmaker who ran unsuccessfully in 2022 for state treasurer, was found guilty in October of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was out of custody ahead of her sentencing, which had been scheduled for next month.
In a lengthy statement Thursday on Facebook, the loyal Trump supporter expressed gratitude to the president while also accusing the U.S. government and “select media outlets” of a broad, decade-long conspiracy to “target and dismantle" her life.
The pardon, issued Wednesday, comes less than a week after Fiore lost a bid for a new trial. She had been facing the possibility of decades in prison.
Federal prosecutors said at trial that Fiore, 54, had raised more than $70,000 for the statue of a Las Vegas police officer who was fatally shot in 2014 in the line of duty, but had instead spent some of it on cosmetic surgery, rent and her daughter’s wedding.

If I’m not mistaken a few Republicans got taken down on campaign finance under Biden.
But of course no charges for Bernie Sanders.
Two tier justice system.

Pardoning a disgusting fatass who stole money from a police statue to make her fat face even uglier... this isn't winning.

I was expecting a much better pic. But maybe she's a skilled orator.

It’s really frustrating how easily swayed POTUS is to do these entirely irrational things by these dipshits in his ear

she stole money and got caught. Why the frick is Don pardoning her? Going to be hard to arrest people stealing money from NGOs since Trump is fine with theft

The article makes this sound pretty sketchy, is there more to the story? Was she actually set up or railroaded or kangaroo'd?

She's a blonde.
A fake one at that, it appears, but still.

I don't think she's getting railed by anyone.

i dont believe she used it for plastic surgery.
Posted on 4/25/25 at 1:26 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Ummm.. why would he pardon her, of all people?

She should seek a refund. I say that without seeing the “before” pictures.
There better be a VERY good reason for this, or it’s complete hypocrisy by Trump.

Now do all the BLM donations.
I also can't find anything on her that doesn't include the writer saying Trump pardoned a bunch of insurrectionists, so this isn't shocking.
And I don't know if your daughter having a $26k wedding automatically means you committed fraud. I'd like to see the evidence this money came from those donations.
I dont think there was any actual proof of this other than the wedding planner saying she received several lump sums to pay for the wedding. And received it from Michelle and not her daughter.
But last I checked daughters don't usually pay for their own weddings.

Guaranteed she had to Monica Lewinsky to get out of that charge.
