How does Anthony Lewandowski being pardoned advance any public good? I would argue it does the exact opposite.
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.
