Your Sheriffs Badge is worth much less today. Donald Trump just announced a full pardon for Scott Jenkins, the former Virginia sheriff who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accepting more than $70,000 in bribes in exchange for appointing local businessmen as auxiliary deputies. “He will not be going to jail tomorrow, but instead will have a wonderful and productive life,” Trump said, sparking controversy over the decision to pardon a law enforcement official convicted of corruption.
