Trump Uses Clemency To Help Drug War Victims, Reward GOP Donors, and Spite James Comey.

While much of the media coverage focused on Blagojevich and some of the other high-profile names on Trump’s clemency list (more on that in a moment), there are others whose names you don’t know but probably should.

 

People like Crystal Munoz, who spent the past 12 years in prison for a nonviolent drug offense. Munoz was convicted in 2007 of assisting a marijuana smuggling operation because she drew a map of a dirt road near Big Bend National Park in Texas. That map was used by drug smugglers, and the Drug Enforcement Administration eventually traced it back to Munoz, who got a 19-year prison sentence despite the fact that she never possessed or sold any of the drugs.

 

Nothing about Munoz’s case suggests that the 40-year-old mother of two girls is a danger to society who needs to be kept in a cage—she’s just another person in an endless line of drug war victims. Thankfully, Trump’s clemency order will allow her to return to her family.

 

People like Munoz are “are the forgotten majority of the country’s crisis in mass incarceration, a crisis that disproportionately impacts lower-income communities and communities of color, and they are every bit as deserving of a second chance,” said Holly Harris, executive director of the Justice Action Network, a criminal justice reform nonprofit that advocated for Munoz’s release. In a statement, Harris said she hopes Trump will “use this executive power to grant more commutations and clemencies in due course for any of the thousands of deserving individuals who are neither rich, nor famous, nor connected.”

I predict that will happen.

"I’ve written hundreds of stories, blog posts, magazine articles and, finally, a book on Blagojevich’s case.

There was one sentiment I heard over and over again..."

 
"... which went something like, 'I know Blagojevich was guilty as hell but 14 years is insane.'
 
That’s why President Donald Trump likely risks little political blowback by commuting the sentence of his onetime Apprentice contestant, even in the state that Blagojevich disgraced."

...Blago unleashed.....ruffled Cooper's purdy feathers..................

 

Rod Blagojevich, Anderson Cooper spar over ex-gov's record, criminal case: 'Just bulls---'

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and CNN anchor Anderson Cooper engaged in a lengthy and contentious back-and-forth Friday night over the recently freed Democrat's record and claims he's made about his criminal case.

Their frustration with one another appeared to reach a boiling point, with Cooper accusing Blagojevich on air of spouting "bulls---," and Blagojevich using the same profane term in his reply.

CNN did not bleep the remarks.

 

During their discussion, Blagojevich continued to maintain his innocence regarding the corrupion charges on which he was convicted, telling Cooper he was a "political prisoner" of an unjust criminal justice system -- until President Trump commuted his sentence this week, freeing Blagojevich from prison.
