As we wind through these 500 days, this happens over and over again. In May 2005, the pardon racket starts. Every member of the Senate should be outraged at this. You all know what is happening. The President is pardoning people based on their ability to pay either him and his political operation or pay people who are close to the president. On May 27, Donald Trump pardons a man called Paul Walzack. This is a really bad guy. He stole millions of dollars from the nurses and health care aides at the nursing home he owned. (06:16–06:28)
