HONOLULU (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama shortened the prison sentences for 153 convicts, mainly low-level drug offenders, and pardoned 78 others, the White House said on Monday.
Obama has commuted the sentences of 1,176 federal prisoners, the White House said, as part of a push to reduce the number of people serving long sentences for non-violent drug offenses.
In 2014, Obama announced he would use his clemency powers to reduce sentences he saw as overly harsh. That came after criminal justice bills aimed at non-violent drug offenders stalled in Congress.
I’ve been following this and didn’t expect to see his name on the list. I wasn’t surprised.
Obama needs to pardon this young man.
Let Trump do it.
If Obama pardoned him it would be a stain on him for the rest of his life. Let Trump do it. Then it would be honorable.
Obama won’t even look at or consider pardoning him.
Trump, OTOH, will look into it and, IMHO, probably pardon him because he was operating in the fog of war to save his men after they had all been attacked and harassed.
Very little chance of Obama issuing a pardon for this young man.
There are simply too many drug dealers ahead of him in line.

Sorry, wrong melanin levels.
This shows how closely I’ve been following politics in my previous city of residence: I didn’t even know Duncan Hunter’s son had won his old congressional district. I was wondering how, after the corruption conviction, Hunter could have won his seat back.

Him and Terry Lakin (sp?)
He’s awesome! I wished that trump put him in his cabinet but maybe God has plans for him in the house.
Nope. Obviously, they were blowed up, not shot (according to your information)!
Great terrorist plinkin’ video!
He is a white. He is a soldier. He is not a leftist. He is not a druggie.
I think this will have to wait for a non-Muslim non-Marxist President.
