Trump Issues Last Minute Pardons - Oni - 01-20-2021
Trump has pardoned/commuted a long list of people, last minute. These include people like Steve Bannon and Elliot Broidy, to Lil Wayne and Kodak Black. A decent portion of the people pardoned/commuted were non-violent offenders, many for drugs. List is linked below.
Quote:With only hours to go before leaving office, President Donald Trump pardoned 73 people and commuted the sentences of 70 others.
The list, made public early Wednesday morning, included his former chief strategist and longtime ally Steve Bannon as well as his former top fundraiser Elliott Broidy.

At this point he could have pardoned also Ross Ulbricht.

Lots could be said on the absurdity of people serving life sentences for drug-related charges. Ulbricht was charged for more than just that, though.

I was reading a few - There's some dodgy money stuff too. Is it possible for new presidents to reverse pardons, or are those people safe now?

As far as I'm aware, there has not been a single case where a presidential pardon was reversed. The closest example involved President Grant and Johnson over 100 years ago, where 2 pardons were intercepted before they got delivered. Essentially once the convicts are released, they're good to go.

Thanks Oni! I had no idea. I suspect the pardons have never been for anything that would truly warrant another president/administration pursuing their re-arrest.

It makes you wonder why he didn't do It a lot sooner, or If he remained In office, whether he'd do It at all.

Was there a sign-up period that I missed?
If you read between the lines it's a bit obvious something is going on because what is a meeting between Donald Trump and Weezy Baby really gonna be about?
From msn:
Quote:The guilty plea came weeks after he met with Trump in Miami, Florida, to discuss the President's "platinum plan" aimed at courting Black voters days before the election.
"Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump," Lil Wayne said in a tweet after the October 29 meeting, posting a photo alongside Trump, both men smiling with thumbs up.
He added, "Besides what he's done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done."
The meeting was set up after Carter's team reached out to the White House, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said.
I wonder how much it cost.
