Trump Pardoned An 85-Year-Old Civil Servant. Obama Pardoned Over 1000 Drug Dealers
By Gary Maher0970
The media is outraged over the fact that President Donald Trump pardoned former Maricopa Country Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Yet, that same media didn’t say a word about former President Barack Obama’s 1000 commutations of individuals that committed a myriad of drug crimes.
QZ reports: In November 2016, Obama reduced the sentences of 79 additional people in prison for non-violent drug crimes, bringing his total to more than 1,000 commutations/pardons.
The Obama administration has been commuting the sentences of non-violent drug offenders in higher numbers than any recent president, while criminal justice reform efforts are stalled by lawmakers in Congress. A statement by the White House said the actions are meant to reduce the effect of “outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws.”
