Why lie or interfere if you didn't commit any crimes? These aren't random Joes with bad/no legal representation who didn't know what they were doing. You have to assume they were doing it to cover up more serious crimes and assumed they would be pardoned. Which turned out to be true.

Foreigners buying political ads is illegal. Citizens using money owned by foreigners to buy political ads is also illegal.

> Fundamental misunderstanding of justice and the US justice system

Because the people committing those crimes didn't know the Fifth Amendment? You don't have to say anything. There's really no reason to lie; other than to cover up something worse. Explain the pardons.
