I never said I supported Huckabee. But he isn't Clinton, so I don't believe any of the pardons were for payment or influence.
“I never said I supported Huckabee. But he isn’t Clinton, so I don’t believe any of the pardons were for payment or influence.”
Fair enough. soft on crime, but not corrupt decisions.
In the Glen Green case, where he freed a murderer, he didn’t follow standard protocols however. A preacher friend chats with him and that’s it. There is something disturbing about how it was done, even if it wasn’t corrupt.

” Gov. Huckabee probably never read the confession of a demented killer named Glen Green before he made the monster eligible for parole. Green’s confession is so depraved, its sadistic details so scary that no sane, responsible adult would consider him for parole. If the governor didn’t read the confession, he is guilty of dereliction of duty. But if he read the confession and still considers Green deserving of parole, he’s certainly unfit to hold office. ...
In usual fashion, Huckabee’s office didn’t even contact the victim’s family about the clemency.
Although he’s required to by the Constitution, the governor, as is his custom, won’t say why he granted clemency to this crazed killer (over the unanimous objections of the Post-Prison Transfer Board). “
