Netanyahu Pushed Trump for Pardon? Shocking, Said No One
According to Axios, then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leaned on President Trump for a pardon during his corruption trial. One might wonder why a leader with multiple indictments involving bribery, fraud, and breach of trust would seek such an unconventional favor. Meanwhile, the very same political figures who sermonize about 'democracy' and 'rule of law' continue to embrace
Netanyahu's government, despite such allegations. This isn't about global diplomacy; it's about elite club membership. The media frames it as a 'revelation' when it's just another chapter in the playbook of powerful figures using their leverage to avoid accountability. The true story isn't the request, but the sheer lack of surprise from those who’ve watched these interactions for decades. How
many times will we pretend to be shocked by self-serving behavior from leaders who prioritize personal impunity over public integrity?
