President Obama Pardons A Record Number Of Inmates More Than The Past 11 Presidents Combined

I guess Obama wants to release all the crooks before he leaves office.


President Obama on Monday pardoned 78 people and granted another 153 commutations, amounting to the most acts of clemency granted by a U.S. president ever in a single day.


White House Counsel Neil Eggleston announced the decisions in an official blog post. He described all the individuals being pardoned or seeing their sentences shortened as deserving.

The 231 individuals granted clemency today have all demonstrated that they are ready to make use or have already made use of a second chance, he wrote.

He also previewed additional clemency decisions in the weeks ahead, saying: I expect that the President will issue more grants of both commutations and pardons before he leaves office.


If he trying to make matters worse just to anger President Trump, it would appear so.
