Trump praised Buyer’s military and congressional service, while Buyer himself insists he’s innocent, calling the prosecution politically motivated and his imprisonment “horrific.” The pardon, granted after over 40 former GOP lawmakers and 5 current House Republicans urged clemency, echoes claims of “deep state” targeting and “lawfare.” Buyer, 67, a Clinton impeachment prosecutor and Trump transition aide, was sentenced to 22 months and ordered to forfeit $350K. Though his record remains intact, supporters hail the pardon as justice restored—and a formal end to his legal ordeal. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
