None of them were convicted of violent crimes, Trump is trying to reform the prison system and these pardons, along with deceased boxer Jack Johnson and Alice Johnson are examples of his resolve.
The MSM is totally ignoring the other pardons or commutations of Tynice Hall, a black woman who has served 14 years in prison, Crystal Munoz, an Hispanic woman who was sentenced to 15 years but has served 12 for selling marijuana.......
Ah. And I learned Blago already served 8 years; I don’t recall his crime, nor whether that’s insufficient or not - but clemency does seem prudent if Trump deems it so.
