You’re right. Nevertheless, he was very involved in the hiring of illegals. And it absolutely sends the wrong message.
Bottom line: This commutation stinks, it stinks to high heaven. This is not some guy who accidentally ran afoul of some obscure federal law. Rubashkin cheated banks out of millions. He should be in prison for decades.
This type of political commutation is something Bill Clinton would have done.
Since Trump became president I’ve learned much about our courts. The FBI is corrupt and they will get you if they want you. I don’t know the details but I’m sure there will be more info out there.
I already knew a lot by serving on a Federal grand jury during the Clinton era. They have no problem making up non-related charges to get people on crimes they think they’ve done but have no proof.
