No he didn’t. The woman completely turned her life around and mentored young women in prison o help them turn their lives around. She did this knowing she faced life in prison.
President Trump commuted her sentence. Not a pardon, but the woman accomplished what prison time is for. Changing your spirit it what we all pray for.
Maybe it was also a jab at ‘tawt I tawl a putty tat’ Sessions, who never saw a drug bust he didn’t like but can’t tell the difference between counter-intelligence and criminality.
Major drug dealers should never see the sun again.
She ran a major drug ring with the Colombians. Maybe they were the non violent type of drug lords. Could be, there is always first for everything.
She should be spending her life in prison educating minor offenders about the pitfalls of becoming a cancer on society.
Trump screwed the pooch to suck up to the Karcrashian clan. Puke.
YES!!!
Trump the Just
How ‘bout that, scum?
A real man who has the heart to pardon and forgive, and to right REAL wrongs, not the fake kind that you b**stards push (”pedophiles need love too!”)
With Big Don in charge, the world is right for once
I got saved in the Army on TDY in Honduras. It's like prison.
I remember that!
Trump takes care of her. Coke fiends Clinton and his coke ho Mena wife, Bush W the coke boy. Obama the homo coke user all ignored her.
Trump the clean man let her out. The guys who USED coke kept her in.
Obama Pardons hundreds of Drug Dealers who used Firearms in the commission of their Crime and it’s fine and dandy.
POTUS Trump Pardons a Black Grandmother who has already served 20 Years for a Non-Violent Drug Offense and he is blasted by the Left.
Makes sense to me.
Meh... the longest sentence you could get in the old USSR was a tenner, 10 years. In the old west, prison sentences of over 5 years were rare to unheard of.
20 is enough. Especially when you consider three of the last 4 presidents have been coke users, and the one before that was a CIA leader who paired with Bill Clinton to smuggle uncountable tons of cocaine into Mena Arkansas. And all of these guys are free as a bird.
The banks who knowingly laundered the cocaine cartel money are free as a bird.
So yeah, 20 is enough.
>>>President Trump commuted her sentence. Not a pardon<<<
Thank you for the clarification, I missed it.
Trump did good with this
Truly well done
It’s time to end all these crazy non violent drug dealing sentences
Ten years served is plenty for dope crimes ...
Average 20s gangster did 2 years for prohibition
But the law will go overboard sometimes no question
Black Tuna Gang....freepers should read up on that one from the 80s
This is my opinion I know freepers love jail as much as they hate pit bulls
Our drug laws are just crazy as is asset forfeiture reach
“Major drug dealers should never see the sun again.
She ran a major drug ring with the Colombians.”
And GHW Bush, Ollie North, Bill and Hillary, and numerous CIA types let them move it to fund the Contras. The CIA today is presiding over the explosion of heroin production in Afghanistan and have brought it to our shores. Obama and his DOJ armed Sinaloa to the teeth. Comey and Lynch colluded to get HSBC (literally started as a dope bank!) out of trouble for knowingly laundering billions in dope money.
If they aren’t locked up, nobody else should be.
“”””””It’s time to end all these crazy non violent drug dealing sentences”””””
She was the leader of a major drug ring tied to the Colombians. The Colombians are well known as non violent friendly types, right?
I have employed many convicts over the years. Even the small time dealers were not what I would consider “non violent”..
But let’s keep pretending she was just some nice grandma who got caught with a lid of weed and was wrongfully imprisoned.
I find it odd that you want big time drug dealers to run free in your neighborhood but you do have the right to your opinion.
That was nuts. And why would the left describe her as that? Why NOT try to paint her in as bad of a light as possible - and then blame Trump for letting her off?
I wonder how many kids died because of “her” drugs? Yeah - I think 20 years is a good start. BTW, if that photo is recent - she looks really good for a 63 year old!
With that cross around her neck, I say leave her in prison to preach the gospel to the lost souls there.
If Trump cured cancer, the Left Stream Media would complain that he’s putting thousands of oncologists out of work.
Snippets from an article, clintons in arkansas... if we forgot who they are...
1980’s
Arkansas becomes a major center of gun-running, drugs and money laundering. The IRS warns other law enforcement agencies of the state’s “enticing climate.” According to Clinton biographer Roger Morris, operatives go into banks with duffel bags full of cash, which bank officers then distribute to tellers in sums under $10,000 so they don’t have to report the transaction.
Sharlene Wilson, according to investigative reporter Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, flies cocaine from Mena to a pickup point in Texas. Other drugs, she and others say, are stuffed into chickens for shipping around the country. Wilson also serves as “the lady with the snow” at “toga parties” attended, she reports, by Bill Clinton.
According to his wife, security operative Jerry Parks delivers large sums of money from Mena airport to Vince Foster at a K-Mart parking lot. Mrs. Parks discovers this when she opens her car trunk one day and finds so much cash that she has to sit on the trunk to close it again. She asks her husband whether he is dealing drugs, and he allegedly explains that Foster paid him $1,000 for each trip he took to Mena. Parks said he didn’t “know what they were doing, and he didn’t care to know. He told me to forget what I’d seen.”. . .
.Later Evans-Pritchard will write, “Foster was using him as a kind of operative to collect sensitive information on things and do sensitive jobs. Some of this appears to have been done on behalf of Hillary Clinton. . . Foster told him that Hillary wanted it done. Now, my understanding . . . is that she wanted to know how vulnerable he would be in a presidential race on the question of — how shall I put it? — his appetites.”
Tens of thousands of dollars in mysterious checks begin moving through Whitewater’s account at Madison Guaranty. Investigators will later suspect that McDougal was operating a check-kiting scheme to drain money from the S&L
Hot Springs police record Roger Clinton during a cocaine transaction. Roger says, “Got to get some for my brother. He’s got a nose like a vacuum cleaner.”
Ronald Reagan wants to send the National Guard to Honduras to help in the war against the Contras. Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis goes to the Supreme Court in a futile effort to stop it but Clinton is happy to oblige, even sending his own security chief, Buddy Young, along to keep an eye on things. Winding up its tour, the Arkansas Guard declares large quantities of its weapons “excess” and leaves them behind for the Contras.
A relative of Bill Clinton is raped. Wayne Dumond is arrested and imprisoned in the case. While awaiting sentencing, Dumond himself is sexually assaulted and castrated by two masked men. A local sheriff, later sentenced to 160 years for extortion and drug dealing, displays Dumond’s testicles in a jar on his desk under a sign that read, “That’s what happens to people who fool around in my county.” A parole board, upon receiving new evidence of Dumond’s innocence, will vote to release him after 4 1/2 years in prison. Governor Clinton — according to the managing editor of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette — stages a “romping, stomping fit” and blocks the release.
Journalist Evans-Pritchard will describe the Arkansas of this period as a “major point for the transshipment of drugs” and “perilously close to becoming a ‘narco-republic’ — a sort of mini-Columbia within the borders of the United States.” There is “an epidemic of cocaine, contaminating the political establishment from top to bottom,” with parties “at which cocaine would be served like hors d’oeuvres and sex was rampant.” Clinton attends some of these events.
The attorney general of Louisiana tells US Attorney General Ed Meese that drug trafficker Barry Seal has smuggled drugs into the US worth $3-$5 billion.
1993
Vince Foster, the Clintons’ attorney, finally files missing Whitewater tax returns.
On July 19, FBI director William Sessions is fired. Clinton personally orders him by phone to turn in his FBI property and leave headquarters.
That evening, Jerry Parks’ wife Jane overhears a heated telephone conversation with Vince Foster in which her husband says, “You can’t give Hillary those files, they’ve got my name all over them.”
On July 20, Clinton names Louis Freeh as Sessions’ successor.
That same day, the FBI raids David Hale’s Little Rock office and seizes documents including those relating to Capital-Management.
Just hours after the search warrant authorizing the raid is signed by a federal magistrate in Little Rock, Vince Foster apparently drives to Ft. Marcy Park without any car keys in a vehicle that changes color over the next few hours, walks across 700 feet of park without accruing any dirt or grass stains, and then shoots himself with a vanishing bullet that leaves only a small amount of blood. Or at least that is what would have to have occurred if official accounts are to be reconciled with the available evidence. There are numerous other anomalies in this quickly-declared suicide. Despite two badly misleading independent counsel reports, Foster’s death will remain an unsolved mystery.
Less than three hours after Foster’s body is found, his office is secretly searched by Clinton operatives, including Mrs. Clinton’s chief of staff. Another search occurs two days later. Meanwhile, US Park Police and FBI agents are not allowed to search the office on grounds of “executive privilege.”
Foster’s suicide note is withheld from investigators for some 30 hours. The note is in 27 pieces with one other piece missing.
Patrick Knowlton, who stops in the park seventy minutes before Foster’s body is found, reports seeing things that do not fit the official version. Declining under pressure to change his story, he is eventually subpoenaed by the Whitewater prosecutor. On that day, he becomes the target of extensive overt harassment and surveillance of a sort used by intelligence agencies to intimidate witnesses.
When ex-Clinton security operative Jerry Parks hears of Vince Foster’s body being found at Ft Marcy Park, he tells his wife, “I’m a dead man.” Two months later, Parks will be shot to death in a mob-type slaying in Little Rock. News of Parks’ death sets off a flurry of activity and closed-door meetings at the White House. Parks’ house is ransacked, and his files, 130 telephone tapes and computer data are removed.
Wow, you had better hope God is a little more forgiving of your faults than you are of others.
She was commuted not pardoned.
