That’s your rightful opinion, but I disagree.
She was convicted of attempted possession of cocaine, conspiracy to possess cocaine, and money laundering.
Money laundering is a very vague charge that could be made up from just about any money transaction associated with a drug deal.
Based on the charges, she never actually possessed cocaine, just attempted.
In today’s atmosphere, career criminals get by with much much more. Trump merely adjusted her sentence to make it fair for this lady. And I totally agree. She was never a career criminal.

More non-violent people like her should be freed to make room for the commies trying to subvert our nation.
Johnson was arrested in 1993 and convicted in 1996 of eight federal criminal counts relating to her involvement in a Memphis, Tennessee-based cocaine trafficking organization.[5] In addition to drug conspiracy counts, she was convicted of money laundering and structuring, the latter crime because of her purchase of a house with a down payment structured to avoid hitting a $10,000 reporting threshold.[5] The Memphis operation involved over a dozen individuals.[8] The indictment, which named 16 defendants,[9] described her as a leader in a multi-million dollar cocaine ring, and detailed dozens of drug transactions and deliveries.[10] Evidence presented at trial showed that the Memphis operation was connected to Colombian drug dealers based in Texas.

She was a leader of this drug operation. I diasgree with you. and Trump. I believe this is pandering. And I believe the Susan b Anthony pardon is pandering as well.
