President Trump has granted a posthumous pardon to World War II scientist
Zay Jeffries, who helped the U.S. develop artillery shells capable of
piercing German tanks' armor during World War II, the White House
announced Thursday.

Jeffries was convicted in 1948 of engaging in anticompetitive conduct that violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. He died in 1965 at age 77.

"One of America’s leading scientists, Dr. Jeffries was crucial to the
United States war effort in World War II," the White House said. "His
efforts enabled the United States to develop artillery shells capable of piercing the armor of German tanks, and his contributions to the Manhattan Project helped end the war in the Pacific theater."

While he was indicted in 1941, Jeffries still "proved vital to the war
effort, prompting Secretary of War [Henry] Stimson to take the
extraordinary step of requesting, with President Roosevelt’s approval,
that the attorney general defer any prosecution until after the war,"
according to the White House.

"When the Department of Justice returned to the case in 1947, it grounded
its legal theory on a Supreme Court precedent that did not exist when Dr. Jeffries was originally indicted," the White House said.

The judge was reportedly "apologetic" in handing down a $2,500 fine with
no jail time, according to the White House.

Then-President Harry Truman awarded Jeffries the Presidential Medal for
Merit in 1948 -- the same year he was convicted.

The White House noted that Jeffries' case attracted support from Sen.
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and former Rep. Trey Gowdy, as well as others.

"In light of these facts, and in recognition of his contributions to
helping to secure an Allied victory in the Second World War, the president
has concluded that Dr. Zay Jeffries is worthy of a posthumous pardon," the White House said.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
