The bastard certainly has a soft spot for drug dealers.

I suspect this is not ‘final’ final, just preliminary almost finally final.
He’s still got time on the clock.

Most likely a bunch of other drug dealers and these guys will back in prison for one reason or another within 6 months.
But some innocents will be killed by stray bullets, etc.
BTW, anyone know where to watch Toby Keith and 3 Doors Down this evening?

I’m sure they’ll be reminding us over the years whenever one of these lucky few murder, rape or otherwise terrorize others.

Why stop there. Empty all federal prisons, including GITMO. Pardon all demoncrats of any past or future oopsies.

That’s what I was thinking... I bet he has a long list to put out tomorrow morning to include everyone who has ever been in his cabinet or headed some department for him.

“Final Act?????” So does that mean the Hillary, Valery J, Loretta Lynch and others don't get pardons?
Sounds good to me.
