The pardons and commutations for 143 people, including Bannon, were announced after midnight Wednesday in the final hours of Trump’s White House term.
Among the sentences that were commuted, were Shalom Weiss, originally of Boro Park, who had been sentenced in 2000 to 835 years in prison for financial crimes. Trump has also commuted the sentence of Eli Weinstein of Lakewood, NJ, who was serving a 24 year sentence for white collar crimes.

No other president recognized Frum Yidden.
And Yemach Shemom to the rag NY Times and the Toilet paper NY Post.
Adam “Piece Of” Schiff is a fascistic lying pos, who failed in his coup attempt. Remember the ibamantion on his last days in office used his pardon power to free an unrepentant terrorist and an unrepentant traitor beside all+ the drug dealers. The democrats are now going to work on banning relgious freedom, taxpayer funded abortion mills, going after anyone who doesn’t support them or who says anything they don’t agree with. The propagandist media will of course be shilling for the democrats lying and obfuscating to protect them. They are already back to worshiping biden. Remember only fascist ban free speech.
The Progressives believe that white collar criminals should be punished much more severely than violent muggers, bank robbers, violent rapists, and even murderers (especially if not premeditated nor in the commission of another felony). To even EQUATE white collar crime to violent & heinous crimes is indicative of rot in a society. Makes as much sense as punishing someone who hurt an animal (even a goldfish) more than someone who hurt another human being.
I hope you don’t have anyone in jail. Don’t judge.
Agree with everyhting till the last line.
You are wrong about once he is out. Eli is truely a changed person. He saw how is family suffered and now has remorse. This is well known so please don’t bashmutz him. Be dan lkaf zechus.
Re shulem weiss You bet you are correct. That’s a shame
How much did these felons pay for their pardons? Their reputations are ruined, families damaged, victims still hurting.
Great
It’s a Shame we couldn’t get Shelly silver incarcerated pin fake trumped up charges by a prosecutor seeking to advance his career. We live in a wicked country where they will go to no ends for big prizes like silver . And that was after they destroyed his family plus bashmutzed him. Very sad .
But bh we got wienstein out . His kids suffered in silence for years
A good deal of this talk claiming that white collar criminals should not be in jail is coming from Chabad-Lubavitch.
I therefore propose that all ganavim and swindlers should be settled in Chabad Lubavitch communities. Let them be welcomed and enjoyed by the followers of the Rebbeh.
Now all you Trumpsters can rejoice as these swindlers, thieves and worse are not in prison. Give them shieshi and five different herrings with a couple of bottle of 21 yr old scotch. A dark stain on everything a jew stands for.
