President Trump surprised everyone when he pardoned Dwight Hammond and his son Steven after their conviction in a so-called “arson” case in Oregon.
As ranchers, they started backfires, one to burn off juniper trees that suck water from the grass (which is a normal and sensible practice) and the other backfire to save their ranch after nearby lightning strikes threatened them.
The fires burned small parts of land owned by the Federal Government. Ridiculous charges of “arson” were filed against them with mandatory sentences of five years in prison. The judge threw out most of the charges and rejected the idea that they had committed arson, sentencing them to 3 months and 1 year in prison.

Marc and his wife, Denise, escaped on a plane to Europe just before the indictments were issued. The Swiss government refused to extradite them.
Eventually, Marc Rich bribed the Clintons with millions of dollars in campaign contributions to secure Bill Clinton’s pardon. Here is the full story:
Dr. Stephen Jones has been writing blog posts since 2005 on a variety of topics from Bible Studies to World News, and he has been writing books since 1992. Dr. Jones' most important writings came after God brought him back into the full-time ministry in 1991. It is here that all his earlier years of searching the Scriptures began to come into clear focus. He combines a knowledge of the Old and New Testaments with a personal revelation of God that began and developed during the "wilderness" period of his life, which he often refers to as God's True Bible College...
