What did they do?&rdquo; Malliotakis said Monday on Fox Business&rsquo;s <em>Mornings with Maria<\/em> <em>Bartiromo<\/em>. &ldquo;And in terms of these pardons, it just seems to me if they don&rsquo;t do anything wrong why do you need this pardon? Because we were never party that targeted people, our political opposition. That is what Democrats did to President Trump to try to destroy him personally, professionally, and financially.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ll see how it plays out.
