I gotta call this worse than the Tranning commutation.
Obama leaves Don Siegelman in prison, I’m surprised.
Commuting the remainder of the sentence for an unrepentant, Castro-aligned terrorist was beyond the pale even by Obama standards, but I think that the Bradley Tranning commutation was even worse because (i) Tranning was an active-duty military officer that committed treason and should have been hanged after a swift trial, (ii) he only served seven freaking years in prison for *treason*, whereas López served 35 years, and (iii) at least we didn’t soend millions of taxpayer dollars on hormone treatments and surgeries so that López can live out his deranged delusions of being a woman (after Obama spent all that money to make Tranning “comfortable” in prison, the least that he could do is keep him in there).
Both commutations were abominable, but Tranning’s was more outrageous.
