President Obama on Monday granted clemency to 231 federal inmates, the most in a single day by any president in U.S. history.
Obama commuted the prison sentences of 153 people and pardoned 78 others, a sign he is ramping up his use of clemency power during his final weeks in office.
The president has frequently doled out commutations as his final months in office wane. But he has seldom handed out pardons, which formally forgive prisoners for their crimes and restore certain rights. Commutations simply cut short their sentences.
With Monday’s grants, Obama has more than doubled the number of people he has pardoned as president, according to the White House, a number that now stands at 148. He has now commuted the sentences of 1,176 people, including 395 serving life sentences.

Wait until 15 minutes before he walks out of his office for the last time. You know darn well he’s going to pardon Berghdahl
Sure looks like it.
“He is the ultimate racist. Always was.”
Big Ears Stompy Foot ALWAY had a MASSIVE racial chip on his shoulder.
And when they do and are indicted, Obama ought to be named as an unindicted co-conspirator.
I thought he was gay until I saw him practically feeling up Bergdahl’s mother as he walked along in between both parents.
Within three years of release, about two-thirds (67.8 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested. Within five years of release, about three-quarters (76.6 percent) of released prisoners were rearrested. Of those prisoners who were rearrested, more than half (56.7 percent) were arrested by the end of the first year.

I bet they all converted to Islam in prison. More warriors on the street for his army.
Are any of the 231 white?
Why do we need a justice system at all?
And probably Joane(?) Chesimard. Possibly Mumua Whoverthe Hell he is.
Mumia Abu-Copkiller?
Which elector didn’t get clemency?
Nope. He should be an INDICTED co-conspirator.
I have no doubt that he would if he could.
Giving a big middle finger to America on his way out of our house.
> Why do we need a justice system at all?
We don’t have a justice system. We have a legal system without justice.
I’m all for it.
Trump should hold press meetings every week exposing all the evil Obama caused us over 8 years. THAT would finish him off in the public eye.
what color were those exonerated????
I think there is already a body count of 3. A mother and her two daughters killed by one of Obama’s releases. Killed the mother (ex-girlfriend?) and the kids because they witnessed it.
