Trump injustice
By When you not only commit fraud, but fraud that could result in people dying, and fraud that repiduates the only good thing the Trump administration accomplished, you either getting your charges dropped (or, if it’s too late, a Trump pardon) is overdetermined:
The US Department of Justice dropped charges on Saturday against Michael Kirk Moore, the Utah doctor accused of destroying more than $28,000 worth of government-provided Covid-19 vaccines and administering saline to children instead of the shot.
Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, announced the news in a statement on the social media platform X, saying the charges had been dismissed under her direction.
“Dr Moore gave his patients a choice when the federal government refused to do so,” Bondi said. “He did not deserve the years in prison he was facing.”
According to a 2023 press release from the US attorney’s office in Utah, Moore distributed at least 1,937 fraudulent vaccination record cards in exchange for either direct payment or required donations to a specific charity. The minors he gave saline shots to were under the impression, at the request of their parents, that they were receiving a Covid-19 shot. Moore ran the operations from a plastic surgery center in Midvale, Utah, and was charged, along with three other co-defendants, with conspiracy to defraud the United States.
As Jacob says, even aside from the merits of this case, this active support of fraud committed by people Trump favors is incredibly corrosive:
But Joe Biden pardoned Anthony Fauci so really Both Sides Do It.
