Former DOJ Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer Exposes Trump's Pardon System | Pink Politics

Former U.S. Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer joins Kathleen Martinez on Pink Politics to discuss her experience inside the Department of Justice, her dismissal from the agency, and her concerns about how the presidential pardon process has changed under Donald Trump. Liz explains what she calls the “pardon economy,” including the role of well-connected lawyers and lobbyists, and discusses controversial cases involving Trevor Milton, January 6 defendants, Ghislaine Maxwell and other pardon recipients. She also compares the current process with her experience reviewing clemency applications for people seeking second chances after serving lengthy prison sentences. The conversation explores political influence within the Justice Department, the role of former pardon attorney Ed Martin, and why Liz has turned to social media to help the public better understand the criminal justice system.
