Obama brag: More prison sentences cut than 'any president in history'
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 20, 2016 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 12/20/2016 10:45:43 AM PST by kevcol

President Obama slashed the sentences of over 200 prisoners Monday in an unusually flashy way — he bragged that no other president had done more.

"Today, President Obama granted clemency to 231 deserving individuals — the most individual acts of clemency granted in a single day by any president in this nation's history," heralded the White House.

On the upside, Obama is providing us with a new list we can tally for recidivism. His failure will continue long after he's left the White House.

I wonder how many of the violent criminals Barack Hussein released have already attacked innocent people. I’d guess a fair number of those 1176 thugs so far, with more to come.

He’s got a long list of pardons coming up.

Starting with Hillary and ending with whoever photoshopped his lousy fake birth certificate.

National Recidivism stats:

Within three years of release, about two-thirds (67.8 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested.
Within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested.
Of those prisoners who were rearrested, more than half (56.7 percent) were arrested by the end of the first year.

I DOUBT they were chosen at random.

I have no problem with commuting sentences in specific situations. I do wonder at his motives.

Read - more recidivists are back out on the street.

Oh, yeah, some of them actually DID reform. But we won’t know which ones did not, until it is too late for the future victims.

The ISIS recruitment drive has been modestly successful.

...

He’s done a pretty good job inspiring the execution of police officers, too.

Only the alternate media will report when they are arrested for another felony.
The MSM will not even mention the association with B.O.

I tried to do a google search of how many of these guys committed crimes after their release, but I couldn’t find anything. Maybe someone else would have better luck.

I know that a number of Muslim terrorists whom he released from Guantanamo continued to commit terrorist crimes after release.
