Medicare Fraud Clemency Case Study Two: Dr. Salomon Melgen. Here is what TRUMP FBI had to say about him. "“The reprehensible conduct of Salomon Melgen is a disgrace to the medical profession,” “Salomon Melgen callously took advantage of patients who came to him fearing blindness” 
Dr. Melgen hired lawyers to appeal his conviction and sentence. In 2020! HE LOST. Here is what the court said. "In light of the extent of Melgen’s fraudulent scheme, the sentence the district court imposed was more than reasonable.
AFFIRMED."
AFFIRMED."
HERE IS WHAT TRUMP DID (yes, with the Sharpie) Out of Jail Card. He was supposed to be in prison until Aug. 2 2031. Look at what US BUREAU of Prisons says is his status as of Jan. 20. Released on Trump's last day.
I think you can tell, this stuff sort of bothered me. It drove me to drill down and read through the criminal docket on these cases. The evidence of fraud is overwhelming.
Today, I happened to reach on the phone the just retired (a few weeks ago) Assistant United States Attorney ROGER H. STEFIN who spent SEVEN years on this case. The most important case, he said, in his 32 years as a public servant with DOJ. He was outraged. Furious. Sad.
“It was sickening and disgusting travesty of justice to see this guy get off after serving so little time." “It is an insult and slap in the face to everybody who labors in the criminal justice system, including the judges and jurors who spent months on the trials...
and the patients who are getting needles stuck in their eyes and lasers blasting their retinas for treatments they did not even need.”
I thanked Mr. Stefin for his public service. For helping uphold standards of justice in the United States for all those years working for DOJ. Told him I appreciate it, as both a citizen and a journalist.
