     @Nonilex this is the stuff that so many people will be happy to believe and shout at anyone who questions. I can't take the blatant corruption anymore. It's time for hammers to faces

     In court, prosecutors said the couple conspired to defraud community banks out of >$30M in loans & evaded federal income taxes for years.

     “The President is always pleased to give well-deserving Americans a second chance, especially those who have been unfairly targeted & overly prosecuted by an unjust justice system,” WH dpty press sec said.

     During her RNC speech, Savannah Chrisley said her parents were “persecuted by rogue prosecutors in Fulton County due to our public profile”—appearing to try to draw a connection to DA Fani Willis, who indicted Trump & others in connection with their attempts to reverse Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. However, the charges against the Chrisleys were federal & filed under then-US Attorney BJ Pak, who was appointed to the role by #Trump.

     Savannah Chrisley, who hosts a podcast, increased her public presence following her parents’ incarceration. A vocal #Trump supporter, she spoke at the RNC last year & also visited the White House in Feb to lobby for a #pardon for her family members.
