Drug Dealer Whose Sentence Was Commuted by Obama Back in Prison
Newsmax ^ | 02/07/17 | Solange Reyner

A drug dealer whose sentence was commuted by Barack Obama is back behind bars on drug charges, the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Robert M. Gil, 68, was caught with more than two pounds of cocaine last Thursday following a high-speed chase in Texas. He allegedly crashed his car into another driver and undercover police cars while fleeing from a drug deal, reports the Express-News.

Gil was one of 1,385 federal inmates whose sentences were commuted by Obama – he was released in 2015 and lived in a halfway house before settling into a place of his own. He now faces anywhere from five to 40 years in prison after being charged with possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.

In 2015, Obama wrote that Gil’s application was granted “because you have demonstrated the potential to turn your life around. … Now it is up to you to make the most of this opportunity.”

In prison, Gil earned a legal education. He was employed as a paralegal for a local criminal defense law firm, LaHood & Calfas, before his arrest. He was originally imprisoned for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and heroin in 1992.

Probably benign when compared to what the ex-gitmo prisoners Barry let go are doing.

I predict that during the next four years we are going to be treated to weekly reports of #44 policies being reversed with the EXCEPTION of the national debt that he left us. I may end up like he was never in power.

B.0. slipped up,again.
He should have pardoned these prisoners his first term.
So, he could re-pardon them during his second term.

He probably should have gone to work for a firm that does civil litigation instead of criminal defense. Less opportunities to get back into illegal pharmaceuticals.
