- jimmygrapes 4y agoSure you could impute some nefarious/corrupt intent (almost every pardon seems to have some "lobbyist" or personal attached, regardless of the President or even state governors), but the justification quoted in that article seems reasonable enough on its own: > “Mr. Levandowski pled guilty to a single criminal count arising from civil litigation. Notably, his sentencing judge called him a ‘brilliant, groundbreaking engineer that our country needs.’ Mr. Levandowski has paid a significant price for his actions and plans to devote his talents to advance the public good.”
