... raising concerns that President Donald Trump could pardon him ...

imo, that's a likely scenario.

Smirnov, who reportedly has ties to multiple Trump associates, pleaded guilty to making a false statement and tax evasion, and the Biden Justice Department deemed him too great a flight risk to be granted bail because of his extensive ties to Russian intelligence operatives.

Another trumper --------- with ties to Russia.

We are Ukraine, as it was when Yanukovych was President. He was a Putin stooge, and ran the country into the ground, and then with Putin's help was able to run away to Moscow. And a greatly weakened Ukraine was attacked by the mass murdering war criminal Putin.
Trump is our greatest enemy, and we elected him twice. Not sure what the future holds, but I do fear for our Constitutional Republic.
