It&#8217;s called restitution. But the president has the power to grant pardons, which can wipe out your entire sentence, including your obligation to pay back the money. Let me give you an example. About a week ago, Donald Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon to a woman named Michelle Fiore.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Fiore was an elected official in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fiore was raising money to build a memorial to a fallen police officer. She raised $70,000, but instead of spending that money on the memorial, she spent it on plastic surgery, her daughter&#8217;s wedding, and her daughter&#8217;s rent. That&#8217;s fraud. A jury convicted Fiore, but then Donald Trump swooped in and granted her a full and unconditional pardon.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I feel I was denied... critical....

We have seen over the last four years just how the DoJ has been weaponized and gone after people who, in many cases, did nothing illegal. They were political prosecutions. As to the one on Fiore, I need more details on her case before I feel comfortable rendering any sort of decision on it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>In another TikTok video, Oyer complained about Trump\u2019s decision to pardon Trevor Milton, who owed the government $680 million after he was convicted of defrauding shareholders.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201c<b>Trevor Milton started a company called Nikola, which was supposedly going to build the world&#8217;s first electric powered semi truck. Milton raised hundreds of millions of dollars from investors,\u201d Oyer explained. \u201cIn the process, he became a billionaire. The problem was that Milton didn&#8217;t actually have the technology to make this work. His company was a fraud.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I actually remembered that story on the electric truck. I have a vague recollection of it failing, but nothing about any court case on it. I\u2019ve always been leery of EV\u2019s of course, so the truck not performing wouldn\u2019t have surprised me. However, the questions is, did they try and make it work or was it a scam from day one?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The White House fired Oyer, along with several other senior Justice Department employees, early in March. She claims her firing was the result of her refusal to support restoring actor Mel Gibson\u2019s gun rights after he was convicted on misdemeanor domestic violence charges in 2011. She is currently appealing her termination. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Appeal all you want. From what I can see, (And I am referring to the Mel Gibson case), you should not be in a position where you can block people from restoring their rights. I am aware of the Gibson case. As I recall, he plead out to some minor crime, but it cost him his 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Amendment rights. He has long since completed the sentence and hasn\u2019t done anything else wrong. I don\u2019t see a reason why he shouldn\u2019t have all his rights restored. (I have a lot of problems with a lot of rights permanently stripped over what are minor crimes with no real recourse to have them restored once the sentence has been fully completed)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The attorney told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2025\/05\/01\/liz-oyer-trump-pardons-restitution-1-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Washington Post<\/a> that the $1 billion figure \u201chighlights the unusually high number of Republican allies convicted of fraud and pardoned by Trump before they served their sentences.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Well now, isn\u2019t that interesting? The Garland DoJ went after Republicans who could help finance Republican campaigns or supported President Trump. Why am I not surprised? I have a suspicion that a new team looked at these cases and discovered they failed the \u201cSmell\u201d test. Now the Town Hall story goes into a bit of editorializing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>What is amazing about this is that Oyer and The Post contend that Trump is somehow depriving the American people of the $1 billion that could have been collected if the president had not pardoned these individuals. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>This is how leftists think, dear reader.
