I missed that DOJ has posted the individual certificates listing what offenses Trump pardoned for each person listed in his January 19 master clemency warrant, which had names but didn't spell out the covered crimes. https://t.co/oL44VoCVbr
Here's Steve Bannon's, for example.

Here's Elliot Broidy, a Trump fund-raiser who admitted to a role in a covert campaign to influence the administration on behalf of Chinese and Malaysian interests.

Here's Ken Kurson, a former Giuliani speechwriter and former editor of a newspaper Jared Kushner owned, who had been charged with cyberstalking
https://t.co/HxcexSK4Sc
Here's Aviem Sella, an Israeli who had been a fugitive from 1987 esionage and subversive activities charges related to recruiting a spy against the United States, Jonathan Pollard. (He was never extradited and pardoning him was a favor toNetanyahu.)

Here's Dwayne Michael Carter a/k/a Lil Wayne, who had pleaded guilty to firearm offenses
https://t.co/yixm1fTR2b
Here's Tommaso Buti, an Italian restaurateur who briefly partnered with Trump on a modeling agency venture, and who had never been extradited to face 20-year-old fraud charges
https://t.co/1imMuoMr7i
Here's Casey Urlacher, brother of famed Chicago Bears linebacker Brian, who was one of 10 people charged with money laundering in connection with an illegal sports gambling ring. The others weren't so lucky. https://t.co/Ah3oecUwbN
Here's Robert Zangrillo, a Miami investor who had been one of the wealthy parents charged in the Operation Varsity Blues college admissions scandal.

A common theme about these, starting at the top of this thread with Steve Bannon (who was charged with defrauding donors to the "Build the Wall" campaign https://t.co/wvDo0m2ryv)
is none had served any prison time. A few were awaiting sentencing; most were not yet even tried.
It is good that the Justice Department has made publicly available the official scope and limits of what Trump let these people off for, rather than just the vague and generic hand wave of the "master warrant" certificate. /end
