12:06Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian return with another installment of The Pardon Parade—their recurring segment tracking Trump's clemency spree, now happening so frequently they can barely keep up. This episode focuses on two cases that capture the pay-to-play reality of presidential pardons. First, the Puerto Rico trio: former Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced, Venezuelan banker Julio Herrera Velutini, and former FBI agent Mark Rossini—all pardoned together for a bribery scheme Vázquez had already pleaded guilty to. The connection? Velutini's daughter donated $3.5 million to Trump's super PAC. Second, the Camberos siblings from California, convicted of a $50 million grocery fraud scheme. The twist: this was Adriana Camberos's second pardon from Trump—she was convicted of a new fraud just 42 days after he commuted her first sentence in 2021. The hosts also touch on Terren Peizer's insider trading pardon and a long list of drug kingpins with life sentences being let off. For the party of "law and order," this is what justice looks like if you've got the money.
