I wonder if he commuted his own future sentence?

These people need to be back on the streets selling Mexican cocaine. Good pushers are really hard to find.

I’d love to know the criteria used in selecting these 22 convicted criminals.

It will be interesting to see what they do once released. Recidivism.

How many of the bad guys released from Gitmo for Bergdahl returned to the battle field?

Same idea.

What percentage were black? I would guess being non-violent many were not black.

The DOJ has posted a list of the names and offenses of those pardoned by Obama at the link below, but it does not include the 22 most recent pardons.
