The stakeholders's request should not be favoured with presidential pardon if those allegations were truly against the interest of the United States. Besides, President Trump administration was not responsible for most of the case prosecution as they were transitional from Obama regime. If they are given amnesty based on the ground considered good for the interest of United states I think it should be understandable but I cannot support sentiment of releasing offenders that committed money laundering, embezzlement, sexual misconduct and misappropriation of funds because the systems are falling all over places and majority support call for it. Nay! No way.

Not following the rule of law will give room to bad governance. I think those accused of these criminal charges should be given the necessary punishment they deserve
