Truly disgusted to see these Trump pardons. He's pardoning specific people that line up with his agenda, but ask yourselves this....why is he not pardoning EVERYONE who has committed the same crimes??? Why specific individuals? This Alice Johnson was convicted of conspiracy to sell cocaine and money laundering. Now, do I agree with her "Life" sentence? No. But a JURY FELT IT WAS NECESSARY, and that's how our justice system is set up.
So this story tells us, if you're the wife of a rapper who is sucking Trumps nuts, then you can request (and receive) a pardon for anyone who has committed any crime; regardless of whether the RULE OF LAW was applied correctly in the case of the offender.
So, what about all the other people who are locked up around our country for her very offenses? Should they not also be pardoned?
I can't wait until this piece of dog shit is out of the oval office. What a fucking embarrassment to our country, our values and morals as a society, and our rule of law.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.All presidents commute or pardon convicted criminals. Obama was no different, commuting or pardoning more convicted criminals than any president in history, including Oscar Lopez Riviera, who was linked to terrorist bombings. And every time a president does it, the opposition party makes a big deal of it.

Trump is flexing muscle here trying to remind us that Mueller's investigation means nothing. By doing this he sends a message to his people that there is nothing to worry about. He will get them out of it by pardon. Ignore the 17 plus indictments Mueller already has and Trump supporters deny. Trump pardoned 2 from his Reality TV days recently and now tweets all over that he has power to even pardon himself. He may try it, but do not believe it.
He's a cornered rat with a bad habit of picking idiot attorneys.

Yep, it's as I've said...he's pardoning those who align with the crimes that he and his cronies have committed as a dog whistle to them that he's not afraid to flex his orange muscles.
tOTALLY AGREE-Setting a shitty example for our children.
