Nice bit in this WAPO ballroom donor story where FCC boss Brendan Carr launches a bogus investigation into Dish Network then leverages it to force Charlie Ergen to shell out more for Trump's ballroom (the pressure on Ergen was also beneficial to AT&T and Elon Musk)

Carr needs to really be made an example of when this administration gets booted. He has no morals, ethics, or sense of duty to this country. His corruption knows no bounds.

will you settle for him quickly getting a high six-figure job at a telecom think tank where he spends the rest of his days ensuring U.S. government telecom policy coddles monopoly power?

And a pardon

I think we'll see marginal accountability on some things (indiscriminate international boating murders maybe), but I strongly suspect Carr won't even get to the point where he needs a pardon, despite doing multiple, overlapping illegal things

And that's why we can't have nice things! Corrupt twerps like Carr get rewarded after selling our country out for scraps.
