Obama Grants Commutations to More Federal Inmates With Gun Offenses
Bearing Arms ^ | 7 Nov, 2016 | Jenn Jacques

Posted on 11/07/2016 5:17:55 PM PST by MtnClimber

President Obama continues to be a champion of criminals, granting clemency to 72 more federal inmates this past Friday.

“What President Obama has done for commutations is unprecedented in the modern era,” said White House Counsel Neil Eggleston.

Eggleston posted the announcement via the White House blog Friday, praising Obama’s leniency toward convicted felons:

Following last Thursday’s grant of 98 commutations, today, President Obama granted commutation to another 72 federal inmates. In just an eight-day period, the President has issued two rounds of grants, totaling 170 commutations. With today’s grants, the President has now commuted the sentences of 944 individuals, including 324 life sentences. Of the 72 convicted felons to receive commuted sentences, 8 were convicted of firearms offenses including carrying a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking crime, felon in possession and illegal possession of firearm by felon.

Obama has granted clemency to more convicted felons than any other president in history and plans on granting even more commutations before he leaves the White House in January.

AND NOW obummer will be an accessory to murder once again!

As there is NO chance that no one will be murdered by that many offenders who used a gun in their crime.

They aren’t NRA members. They’re animals.

Some become murderers (of judges and witnesses)
and procurers of children and slaves for the DNC
and Obama the unvetted Moslem.

Better believe it.

A buddy of mine popped a guy with a MAK-90 on the floor board.

This is third weapons offense despite being a convicted violent felon.

Its a legal system not a justice system. Obammy made sure he is getting him some social justice out of dis here tip.

While most politicians look to the founding fathers, Barry looks to Castro as his role model. Barry remembers when Castro cleaned out Cuban prisons by loading up the most violent lunatics on boats and sending them to the U.S.

According to them bad guys should not be allowed to own guns. Unless they’re convicted then pardoned. Then they can vote AND buy a gun.

Crooks with guns are practicing redistribution as endorsed by 0bama. Citizen use of guns for self protection is in violation of redistribution. The elites are exempt from redistribution, of course.

Barack Hussein does not mind black Muslim drug dealers who commit crimes with guns, but he freaks out over law-abiding Christians with firearms. I thank God that we will be rid of him soon and pray that America will recover.

Simply because 11/08 will be a battle between ultimate evil and good.

Has it? I’m not shocked. But his most horrific murder may come in the way of a nuke given to terrorists by iran and used against us

I PRAY that never happens.

I hate him.

I would not claim that Trump is as good as Jesus. I would not claim that hillary is as evil as satan. But, each seems in that direction, one toward good and one toward evil.

Yep, didn’t think there would an FFL dealer or citizen caught up in some ATF BS. Those paperwork mistakes make the worst criminals you can imagine.

It seems .. the only people Obama likes are males who use guns .. who are incarcerated .. who don’t deserve to be out of jail .. who are a danger to all of America.

I’m getting the feeling Obama doesn’t even like America .. can you imagine that ..?????????

If you haven’t figured these facts out yet ... take a good look at what Obama has done to this country .. SICK.

For years I couldn’t figure out why a person would want to be President of a country he hated .. then I realized the truth .. he wanted to be president of the country so he could destroy it (because that’s what his parents taught him).

I don’t think there is any chance of Obama disappearing from the scene .. he’s going to be close by, and every time Trump begins making changes to anything .. there will be Obama with his sycophantic media following .. trying to stop the changes from taking place; always stirring the pot.

It’s not going to be pretty or fun. It’s going to be disgusting to watch.

But, if we just support our team .. maybe we can marginalize it enough we can get through it.

And .. just to add a little incentive .. today on Hannity Radio, Hannity kept saying that after the election is over, he fully intends to take on the corrupt media. I guess we’ll find out what happens .. just by watching. LOL
