Alice wasn’t pardoned. Her sentence was commuted!
The author seems to conflate the two. Or doesn’t understand the difference.
Now, now, don’t criticize your betters in the media, The are consummate professionals with college degrees and years of experience in messing up basic facts.
This is not a pardon. He commuted the sentence. I think he did the same for Blagovich.
“The president is said to be ‘obsessed’ with his power to issue pardons”
What a shi* head for writing that.
The DM, UK, HATES Trump and does numerous negative article on him every day.
The comments, however, frequently take the DM to task as being FAKE NEWS.
Funny!!!
Actually, I got an undergraduate degree in PhotoJournalism, but hated the journalism part so bad that I quit the profession and switched to marketing and advertising.
Glad I did then. Especially now!
If Obama just sat around issuing a thousand pardons a month to people he felt sorry for, it would have been more legal and less harmful to the country than his pen and phone, bureaucratic run around Congress.
“obsessed”, eh?
then I guess Clinton with his 2,000 pardons/commutations and Zero with his 1,900 pardons/commutations were also ‘obsessed’ ? (I forget what Bush did, 1600?)
