#Felon #Freed by #Trump Is Sentenced Again, This Time to 27 Months

A Brooklyn federal judge found that Jonathan Braun had violated the rules of his release by sexually assaulting a #nanny, swinging an IV pole at a #nurse, threatening a congregant at his #synagogue, & dodging #tolls in his Lamborghini & Ferrari.

The sentencing of the man, Jonathan Braun, who had a long history of #violence & in 2011 pleaded #guilty to #DrugTrafficking & #MoneyLaundering, demonstrates how #Trump’s handling of #pardons & #commutations has allowed some convicts to return to criminality.

Braun, whose family used a connection to Trump’s son-in-law, #JaredKushner, to obtain the commutation in Jan 2021, is at least the 8th #convict to whom #Trump granted #clemency during his 1st term who has since been charged with a #crime. Several others pardoned more recently after being convicted of #crimes committed during the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection have also run into trouble with the #law.

Holy shit! This muther f⁕⚠︎er was also accused of assaulting a 3-year-old #child!!, & was continuing to make usurious loans to struggling small businesses. Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto of Federal District Court in Brooklyn found this year that he had violated the terms of his supervised release, & federal prosecutors asked that the judge sentence him to 5 years in #prison.

On Monday, Judge Matsumoto gave Braun 27 months, but he will have to serve only 20, because he was given credit for previous time in custody this year. The judge also said he must serve 3½ years of supervised release after his sentence, & undergo 6 months of residential treatment for drug abuse & mental illness.

The Braun case demonstrates how #Trump has eschewed a longstanding #DOJ process of formally reviewing clemency applications, instead handing out pardons & commutations in a freewheeling manner unlike any previous president. He has helped supporters, comparing their prosecutions to the *witch hunts* he says were waged against him [when a rich white male is held accountable].

…Braun’s troubles began more than 15 years ago…. Not until May 2019 was Braun was sentenced by Judge Matsumoto to 10 years in prison; he reported in 2020. #Trump commuted his sentence just before leaving the presidency after Braun’s family had hired the lawyer #AlanDershowitz, Trump’s ally & lawyer [also #JeffreyEpstein] at the time, to lobby on his behalf.

After Braun was released, his bad behavior resumed, with a flurry of disturbing transgressions this year, prosecutors said.

Braun remained free after each. Only in April, after he was charged with assaulting the #child, was he brought before Judge Matsumoto on charges of violating his supervised release. She ordered him detained.

This spring, Judge Matsumoto oversaw a revocation hearing for Braun during which a former live-in #nanny testified about an incident on Feb. 15 in which Braun entered her room & put her into a headlock. Then, she said, Braun moved her hand over his bare genitals & groped her breasts.

You may want to put a CW on this because of the sexual assault and child assault.

I wasn't prepared, so I reacted.

in reply to Nonilex

I wonder if there has ever been a broad study of re-offense rates among those who receive pardons.

#NMwx #graphicast An approaching Pacific storm system will bring end to the warm and dry weather this upcoming weekend. There are two main solutions that may happen: a slower, cooler, and snowier southern track, or a faster, drier and warmer northerly track. Forecast confidence is low at this time so stay tuned for future updates.

Listen. I know the wealth tax sounds bad especially for someone like you, but if working class people are doing better you must understand Economics 101. The wealth will ...trickle back up as the whole economy does better and soon you'll be doing better than ever and won't even remember that this tax happened.

Come on. Wealthier poor people is a contradiction in terms. When the rich hide away in their residences behind razor wire, they will need some fundamental difference between what they offer their service staff and what those outside the fence will have. That is, those surviving outside the fence.

Looks like the US needs to have a new party, an actual social democratic party maybe, with all new people...

@wonka Impossible. There is no practical way to break the 2-party system here. Any attempts will ALWAYS act only as spoilers.
in reply to Lauren Weinstein

@Lauren Weinstein @Wilfried Klaebe
Never say "never". While there are a smorgasbord of minor parties since like forever, there's one minority party attempting to break that barrier because it consists of the infamous automatic ballot access restrictions at state level. It's Andrew Yang's Forward Party.
in reply to Lauren Weinstein

@wonka More than likely the system itself will collapse...

(People do not appreciate being starved or having their health care taken away to score political points... they also have the knowledge that there is no way to get out since they can screw with systems like airspace writ large)

in reply to Lauren Weinstein

Getting nothing in return is on message. While it should result in many Democrats losing their primaries it probably won't so we're stuck choosing the lesser of 2 evils again.

It will be fun to hear MAGA blame the Democrats for their healthcare premiums going up, which is true if they caven in.

Anyone know what to do with 20 lbs of green tomatoes? I guess we can still broil them and turn them into green salsa. We're supposed to get a freeze overnight soon, and so furiously picked the unripe fruit. But now I'm looking at this pile thinking, this is nuts.

reshared this

in reply to BrianKrebs

just popping in to clarify that, if by "green salsa" you mean the kind from Mexican food, that's not made with unripe tomatoes, it's made from a different kind of tomato that never turns red.
in reply to BrianKrebs

Put the unripe green tomatoes in a bag with a ripe banana and seal it and room temperate a few days. The banana will saturate the bag with ethylene gas (ripening gas) and start the ripening process in the tomatoes that turn the fibers into sugars, just like what happened with the banana.

in reply to TinJar

What I've learned in these years of reading is that there are no "safer locations". The Arctic is especially threatened, not by increasing average temperatures but by the AMOC shutdown which threatens to make all cities north of Paris wetter, colder and for a longer time.

What does a flash flood look like when it snows instead? The thought terrifies me.

@clockwooork

While the AMOC shutdown is a huge concern in the long-term, the imminent heat waves (see e.g. in Chapter 1 of Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry for the Future") are almost impossible to adapt to. The higher latitudes are considered relatively survivable both in terms of actual conditions and the capacity of the society to adapt (knowledge, resources, etc.). That is what I am trying to explore through fiction.

@timo21 The difficulty is that there will be traitors who vote correctly, but who helped negotiate the betrayal behind the scenes. Dems who want to cave, but who face voters in 2026, might want to let senators who aren't up for re-election until 2028 or 2030 take the heat. Susan Collins is an old hand at this; she will vote against the GOP on an issue that might outrage Maine voters if her vote isn't needed, but never will if it would actually defeat a bill the GOP wants to pass.
