It was bad enough when President Donald Trump, just hours after his second inauguration, pardoned hundreds of his supporters convicted for their roles in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Even worse, his administration now plans to reward them by using a newly created fund for — in Trump’s words — “reimbursing people who were horribly treated,” a totally misleading description of cases properly handled.
In other words, members of the mob that sought to keep Congress from implementing the Constitution’s electoral process not only got off but now may get paid off.
And Trump, his family and his businesses won’t ever face any government tax audits, investigations or penalties.
The Founding Fathers would be appalled. And so should every American.
