Freaking Trumpanistas don't let a little thing like actual innocence get in the way of their bigotry and prejudice.

She was a class act and a person who did not intentionally do anything wrong. She had a wonderful family and they have lost their mom for eight very critical years. But, she was lucky in that she had a very supportive and loving family. Her sentence has always haunted me. I am so happy that she is now free.

A handful of commutations and pardons to people with connections to Kim Kardashian and Fox News on the one hand, on the other hand a wholesale project to remake the federal bench with judges who don't believe in the exclusionary rule, don't believe in sanctions for prosecutorial misconduct, and are mainly disqualified if they have ever represented a criminal defendant in private practice or ruled in a significant way for a criminal defendant as a judge. Tough choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9615048.post-25008670457450960342020-02-19T17:15:10.646-05:002020-02-19T17:15:10.646-05:00Rumpole:

Highly unlikely government bureaucrats will green light something that they are almost by definition complicit in. On that note, I would love to see the back up documentation for Marc Rich’s pardon.

It galls people who are otherwise rightfully upset with this president that on the issue of criminal justice reform he has been the best president in our lifetime- Clinton being the worst and Obama passing on the chance. <br />It’s so bad that the ABA issued a statement if support for federal prosecutors seeking a 9 year sentence for a 68 year old first offender on a political crime.

None of those granted clemency yesterday went through that process. They went through the Trump process where their case was advocated by someone who has the ear of the President and/or Fox News.
