Trump may pardon Lil Wayne, release men jailed by Biden drug laws
New York Post ^ | January 18, 2021 | Steven Nelson

Rapper Lil Wayne and people jailed under President-elect Joe Biden’s draconian drug laws may be among the recipients of President Trump’s final clemency decisions this week.

The precise timing of the next batch of pardons and prison commutations is unclear, but it may come on Trump’s final full day in office on Tuesday, a source close to the process tells The Post.

Lil Wayne, who effectively endorsed Trump for re-election, is said to be among the pardon recipients, the source said. The rapper recently pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a gun, which wasn’t allowed due to a prior felony conviction. Also expected to receive clemency are lesser-known people serving long prison sentences under Biden’s 1994 crime law. At least two men serving life in prison for marijuana dealing under the Biden law’s three-strikes provision, paraplegic Michael Pelletier, 64, and Corvain Cooper, 41, asked Trump to release them.

Brilliant pardon as many in the rap and hip hop community as possible get a lock on a segment of the black vote that as we saw from the last election will vote only for Trump and no other member of the GOP

But not Julian Assange; the only one that could have saved Trump’s ass out of all of them. Trump is stupid, and his advisors are incompetent and traitorous backstabbers, and I am beyond frustrated and angry.

I’m with Rush Limbaugh. I think he should pardon Hunter Biden. I think it would be hilarious watching the reaction of slo Joe and the MSM. I mean let’s get real. He is absolutely never going to be punished in a court of law with his father being the president so we might as well get a little humor out of the situation.

Assange and Snowden need to be pardoned.

Given the deep-state and intelligence community leadership illegal/unconstituional coup against the Trump Presidency, I would have thought he would have done this weeks ago.

In light of all the exposed corruption of the last 5 years, NO ONE has given me a valid reason to keep Assange and Snowden locked-up/exiled.

Don’t you have to be convicted before you can be pardoned?

I would suggest that a pardon of Assange and Snowden would be an 11th hour pardon. The MSM would have a choice rage about the pardon's or fawn over Xiden and Cameltoe.

The intel community and Barr were opposed to a Snowden or Assange pardon. Inside the beltway it seems those would be unpopular pardon's. Why do it tonight and have it be the topic of tonight's news. Announce them tomorrow around 8 am and piss off everyone. At least I hope that is the case.

Sources close to Biden already made it clear he will pardon Assange at some point, if Trump doesn’t.
