You're pathetically ignorant. A simple trip to Wikipedia to see the list of pardons by Bill Clinton and Obama will do you lot of good. And btw majority of the people (About 90%) pardoned or whose sentences were commutted by Trump are also minorities caught up on things like Marijuana charges but you and your fake news media totally ignore them and are fixated on the few members of the elite that he pardoned.

A perfect example of the bias of the fake news MSM, just look at the reaction of this fake news New York times "journarlist" when Trump granted pardons versus his reaction when Obama did the same thing. And budaatum will be posting articles talking of Trump's "dishonest attacks on the media". What has he said about the media that is not true? They are all fake news, partisan liberal hacks

You read wikipedia, i live here slowpoke!!! Chelsea Manning, Assata Shakur, Mummar Shakur and lot of other perceived criminal of conscience have so much civil right groups calling for their release. These are the folks Obama pardoned and not contributors to his campaign or buddies to his personal lawyers, take your crap to your fellow halfwits.

Nice attempt at spinning, the so called "journalist" is condemning Trump for exercising his constitutional power to pardon but he saw nothing wrong with it when Obama did the same. Only one word for that, "BIAS"

Pentagon Policy Chief in Ukraine-Aid Case Exits Under Pressure...latest high-level departure..

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-19/pentagon-official-involved-in-certifying-ukraine-aid-leaves-post?utm_source=google&utm_medium=bd&cmpId=google

A top Defense Department official who advised against cutting off U.S. military aid to Ukraine has resigned under pressure from some of President Donald Trump’s associates, according to two people familiar with the matter.

John Rood, the under secretary of defense for policy, will depart at the end of the month, Pentagon spokeswoman Alyssa Farah said. Some senior national security officials had lost confidence in Rood’s ability to carry out Trump’s agenda, according to multiple officials who asked not to be identified discussing a personnel matter.

The president had recently asked some associates whether Rood should be released, according to a person familiar with the matter. Trump wished Rood well in a tweet.

Rood had been in his post since January 2018. He was the official who certified in May to Congress that Ukraine was eligible to receive $250 million in security assistance. That aid was later temporarily blocked by the White House, a decision at the center of Trump’s impeachment.

Obama alone pardoned more than the rest on list combined and they want us to believe none of the 1927 pardoned is in a way connected to Obama or his associates.

Priceless coming from a third world coon that worship a white supremacists that think folks with his skin color are sub humans. Get a grip of your common sense turd.

Of the acts of clemency, 1,715 were commutations (including 504 life sentences) and 212 were pardons.[2] Most individuals granted executive clemency by Obama had been convicted on drug charges,[3] and had received lengthy and sometimes mandatory sentences at the height of the war on drugs.[4]

According to our analysis of Justice Department records, about 98 percent of Obama’s commutations through Tuesday were for prisoners convicted on drug offenses. And many of those, more than 60 percent of all commutations, were charged under conspiracy laws. Activist groups like the American Civil Liberties Union argue that these laws allowed low-level drug dealers to be unjustly charged with the more serious crimes that distributors often face.




How do y'all Trumptards spin this one.
