I guess it pays to have rich friends.
I have no idea if there is such a thing as a "revenge pardon", but I guess it's a thing now.
(Incidentally, I wanted to use an exact Trump quote in that first paragraph, and I found it here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/01/19/upshot/trump-...)
His pardon could be interpreted as a strike against “piracy is theft” mindset and the idea of “intellectual property” in general that HN often rallies against.
I’m quite disappointed by Trump’s pardons but this one is actually a good one.
Do you have any evidence that he didn't commit the crimes he is convicted of? Because his lawyers would've loved to talk to you last year.
It's not as if I said he was not guilty, but rather saying that he would have a lot of information on self driving cars. Which is what he was charged with in the first place.
I think corrupt is the right word.
If highly positioned people in the industry asks to have his competence back on the market, maybe it's the best if the president just listens
He was sentenced to 18 months and served 6. Wouldn't he be out on good behaviour after 9 months anyways?
Are you sure you are not just knee-jerking here?
