Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) on Wednesday blasted President Trump’s latest pardons of political allies such as former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and political adviser Roger Stone as “rotten to the core.”
Sasse issued his statement Wednesday evening, specifically mentioning Manafort and Stone.
“This is rotten to the core,” he said in a terse one-liner.
The statement by Sasse said that “felons like Manafort and Stone” had “flagrantly and repeatedly violated the law and harmed Americans.”
Sasse was the first GOP senator out of the gate to criticize the pardons. Others are likely to follow.
Trump also pardoned Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The elder Kushner pleaded guilty in 2004 of 16 counts of tax evasion and retaliating against a witness. He served two years in prison.

tuff luck – NoBama did the same in his last week and pardoned all his CRONIES and also passed a resolution against the United States greatest ally in the middle east…………..
But yet this sanctimonious Rino politician was silent when Obama was letting out hardened criminals with blood on their hands.
Hey there Sasse, that’s how it works. Every single president has done it! You know and I know that they went after these guys because they wanted to get at the president! So they had to pay the price. Now he had his final say!
Huh? Kushner pleaded guilty in 2004.
Stone literally did nothing wrong. And Manafort did what other 1000s do, and was only prosecuted because he worked for Trump, trying to legitimize the scam called the Muller prob. They all know it very well…
This dog is one reason why Trump resonated.
The Repubican establishment is really a Democrat ugly face with faux makeup- but lethal nonetheless. They and the Democrats have destroyed our country.
Trump is rotten to the core
how are people surprised by any of his rotten actions?
Please elaborate.
Young children shouldn’t be commenting on the internet.
Emes: Every president has the power of pardon. TRUMP is using it like all the other presidents have.
