MURDERERS of innocent people who were no threat? Commuting or pardoning cold-blooded mad cruel vicious evil MURDERERS? Can anyone explain that away logically? Honorably? Truthfully? Anyone?
Meanwhile people who might well deserve to receive a pardon who might have been waiting for DECADES to get a pardon are not even in the mix. It is all about the pals the buds the cronies and most especially the tigjtlipped ones who knew they'd be pardoned so they didn't spill the goods and the pardoner.
You have the power to do whatever you want to do. Does any responsibility come with that power?
If you had that power how would you decide whom to pardon?
