Plus the basis for Stone even being charged and investigated has been totally discredited. It never should have happened at all, but for corrupt and incredibly biased agents like Strozk.Quote:

Don't recall that anyone Obama commuted a sentence for, were convicted of crimes like lying to congress to protect Obama.
I stand to be corrected on this if wrong.
My sense is that many, if not all, had served a lot of years of their sentences. They were often life sentences for drug possession, and had served many years already.
I wonder if he ever commuted someone before they even went to prison?
Not Obama but Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich is worse (IMO). Largest tax evasion case ever at that time and was trading with Iran during an embargo and then he fled the country. Rich was a huge contributor to the Democratic Party.Quote:

Yah. They "may" have been a bit more dangerous and ridiculous to commute.
I missed the "lying to Congress to protect Obama" part of your post.Quote:

This is a from a tweet from a biased source so correct me if I'm wrong. But this is insane (if true):

Commutations by President:
Bill Clinton—61 in 8 years
George W. Bush—11 in 8 years
Donald Trump—11 in 4 years
Barack Obama?
1,715 in 8 years.
Barr has been vocal about Trump’s involvement in the Stone case. Obama was not right and neither is Trump here, both deserve to be called out:To me, Trump was clearly the lesser of two evils but it amazes me that people justify his behavior just because the alternative was worse.
We now enter another election with 2 horrible candidates and will have another 4 miserable years with someone who is not qualified to lead the country. We are getting what we deserve for not demanding better of our elected leaders and allowing self serving incompetent politicians to run the country,
