Blagojevich was prosecuted by James Comey... interesting


Very. It seems that Trump is a criminal who is helping other favored criminals while dismantling our federal law enforcement agencies and replacing them with loyalist brown shirts.

We could pick this apart instead of jumping to our partisan conclusions.

Huh?

He was prosecuted by Patrick Fitzgerald, Comey's close friend.

One of the world’s biggest suppliers of assembly and fastening materials, Germany’s Würth Group, will not invest any more in the United States while President Donald Trump is in power, the patriarch of the Würth family has said.

Reinhold Würth, popularly known in Germany as the “Screw King,” told the Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag that he had “made sure we are no longer investing in the U.S. at the moment.”

“We make 14% of our annual sales there—€1.8 billion [$2.1 billion]—but I do not want to increase our engagement in America any further,” he said, explaining how he still made his presence felt at the privately-held company at the age of 83.

Würth said his reticence about further investment was based on the “general, uncertain political situation” in the U.S. “I said, we’ll wait and see if President Trump is re-elected in four years,” he told the paper. “Würth returns when he goes.”

The billionaire’s comments came just after President Trump imposed hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the EU, Canada and Mexico. According to U.S. figures, Germany is the source of 4% of American steel imports. Just over 2% of U.S. aluminum imports come from Germany.

The way I see there are three different possibilities for the pardons.

1) Trump knows something from classified info that we dont. Im on the fence about this
2) Trump is pardoning people to appear populist. More likely possibility
3) Trump is pardoning people for some corrupt pay for play. On the fence about that

Trump claims to have the absolute right to pardon himself.

There are a thousand things I could say right now, but I think the situation speaks for itself.

from a protectionist standpoint, this is winning. apparently, the tariffs have successfully deterred a foreign competitor from the american steel market. and the numbers dont lie: just over 2% of US aluminium imports come from germany, and not all imports from germany are coming from the Würth Group, while the US market makes up 14% of their revenue. the question of who's got the leverage in this situation should have an obvious answer.
