Duck and cover. Prepare for incoming...
It was Trump hunting for the elusive black shift. It was ill-advised... I thought so at the time.
Though you’d never know it from some of the posters here Trump didn’t walk on water. Trump made mistakes: bump stock ban and his most frequent mistake hiring the wrong people - people who were more interested in advancing the deep state agenda than restoring freedom from government overreach.
Agree.
We need criminal reform. With this guy’s long rap sheet full of violence he should have been put away for 40 or so years. I’m really tired of seeing them giving violent criminals light sentences and early parole just because they’re black.
This is a VERY informative and helpful article.
It’s all laid out in time sequence.
Most of these negotiations I knew nothing about.
So much of Trump’s presidential term was absorbed with partisan and political infighting, much of his actual policy (as it would effect us, the common man) escaped my notice.
*Spoiler Alert: Jeff Sessions turns out to be one of the few
Good Guys on Trump’s Team, at least in reference to this policy.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/756
“The bill modifies the computation of good time credit to allow a prisoner to earn a maximum of 54 days per year of the sentence imposed (instead of 54 days per year of the sentence actually served).”
I don’t see how this reduces the length of the sentence. Why is the length of the “sentence imposed” less than the length of time “actually served”? The convict must have had some other credit so served less time than the actual sentence. Seems a stretch to call this a Trump policy backfire.
Theres more to this story.
Nothing on twit is a must read.
I’m absolutely disgusted by Trump’s behavior as of late, but I don’t understand what this has to do with Trump.
I think the rub is that if it was 1 month credit per year maximum, under the old rule you would get 11 months credit after 11 years, so after 11 years you would have 1 month left to serve on a 12 year sentence. Under the revised rule you get 12 months credit, so you get out 1 month early, and at the end of 11 years you are out. But this guy got out in 2021, and was re-arrested for a parole violation. under the old rule he would have been out a year ago, instead of 13 months ago.
Holy crap! Trump personally released this guy?
Yeah.. I was talking about the First Step Act, I don’t know about the specifics of this guy’s case.
I think it means that if you have only served 5 years of a 10 year sentence and are eligible for parole, then you get the 10 year credit of 540 days, and not the 270 days of a 5 year term served. So you are out 270 days earlier.

Or, somebody did not f’up; and the perp had an assignment.
“I’ve always spoken out against this and could hurt Trump in 2024.”
The man was sentenced 12 years and he served 12 years, so don’t know exactly how Fox figured that out.
Trump was against the plan but his Jarod Kushner talked him into it, I think so Jared could get his father out of prison.
Mike Lee and some other Republicans wanted it badly, for some reason. The bill had been in the works before Trump was president.
The bill was very much bi-partisan, so, no, it won’t hurt Trump. Sorry to disappoint you.
It’s TWITTER on line CNN
Another one of Jared/Trump failures.
