A few nights ago I wrote about Trump’s pardons. I took a more detailed look at the eleven pardons he announced earlier this month, and three were actually reasonable. They were the kind of pardons previous presidents had granted to rectify miscarriages of justice. Ariel Friedler, a technology entrepreneur, accessed a protected computer without authorization. He served two months in prison and has since dedicated his life to helping former prisoners re-enter society, according the the White House statement.
A second was for Crystal Munoz. She received a prison term of almost 20 years for drawing a map her friends used in a marijuana distribution ring.
A third was for Tynice Nichole Hall who lived in a stash house where her boyfriend stored cocaine. She has been in prison for 14 years, where she is on her way to earning a college degree.
Three good ones.
The eight others, however, were for Trump’s friends, rich crooks, hedge fund operators, a TV motivational speaker who gives speeches for Trump, tax cheaters, political corruption people, and personal friends. Can Roger Stone be too far behind? I think the first three were to give him some cover.
