Several of them were coke dealers. Hmmmmm....

[so_real]

Pardons? Already? Even Obama doesn't think he'll make it pass the 2014 Senate elections. Impeach him ... now.

[surroundedinCT]

Interesting tidbit. Eric Holder worked on Jamari Salleh’s case.

Nothing obvious there. If there are any shennanigans, it will take some investigation to find them, I suspect.

I checked for mug shots, but quite a few of them don’t seem to be on the mugshot roster.

[Tucker39]

The things these people are guilty of are pretty much Obunga’s everyday repertoire. And most of it pales into insignificance compared to, let’s say, Fast & Furious, and Benghazi, just for openers!

[21st Century Crusader]

This is 17 in addition to the THOUSANDS of illegal aliens he let go a couple of days ago?

[csmusaret]

Think I’ll turn to a life of crime. Seems all you get is probation.

[thouworm]

good catch!

Unfortunately the big fish are "pardoned" by the Obama adm before they are indicted and sentenced.

[Old Sarge]

An Na Peng – Honolulu, Hawaii. Offense: Conspiracy to defraud the Immigration and Naturalization Service, 18 U.S.C. § 371.

Hmmm... Unindicted Co-Conspirator?

[gura]

An Na Peng – Honolulu, Hawaii. Offense: Conspiracy to defraud the Immigration and Naturalization Service, 18 U.S.C. § 371. Sentence: Two years probation, $2,000 fine.

Ok then.

[bigheadfred]

Non sequitur

[Gator113]

Well, he’s got to find a labor pool for his 16,000 new IRS employees.

[EDINVA]

“I though the only pardons were granted before the POTUS left office!”

That’s the really controversial ones, and those the outgoing POTUS hopes no one will notice as all the focus is on the incoming guy

[backwoods-engineer]

Larry Wayne Thornton – Forsyth, Georgia. Offense: Possession of an unregistered firearm, 26 U.S.C. §§ 5861(d), 5871; possession of a firearm without a serial number, 26 U.S.C. §§ 5861(i), 5871. Sentence: Four years probation.

WHAT THE H:LL?

Possession of an UNREGISTERED firearm? What does REGISTERED mean?

And firearm without a serial number? I have several! They are old, turn-of-the-century pieces that don't have serial numbers, probably because they were assembled from parts.

I swear, this country is doomed.
