    The libs complained because Trump hadn't done anything, and now he does something, and they complain.

    Say - maybe if Trump denounced himself, everyone would be happy?

    Nothing wrong with a middle finger to the open borders crowd.

    Go Trump!

    The difference is none of them violated a court ruling, otherwise they'd be in jail too. Do you think Trump would pardon them?

    This guy had a reputation for roughing up immigrants, both legal and illegal. This judge made the right decision. Trump has rarely
    made any right decisions.

    Even commutation to a terrorist is offensive, or should be. That level of offense wouldn't shift much between commutation or pardon, its still special treatment to a terrorist. No wonder ISIS thrived under Obama's watch...

    Right ... and you were crying in your cereal when the head of the NSA lied to congress about violating the espionage act and did not get punished .... in fact he kept his Job.

    I suppose this is a sign of the times ... calling the outing of Gov't criminality "espionage" is the new normal ...

    It's what they do. Trump lies about everything and they like to ape their great orange hope.

    That's why he spent 35 years in prison.

    I simply find this outrage incredibly hypocritial so once again, I cannot back this (even though I do not like Presidential Pardons in general)

    But Majors and Governors allllll across the country are giving a middle finger to the law with their sanctuary cities.

    Then all of the sudden you guys are pissed off that he is actually following the main law, but ignoring a smaller court's judges law?

    Come on, this one is just way to hypocritically obvioius

    Bottom line is an FALN terrorist is free because of Obama. Half the articles called it a pardon and half called it a commutation, but no matter what term is used, Obama let a terrorist out. He was sentenced to 55 years and then another 15 was added when he plotted his escape. He had a chance for clemency in 1999 from Clinton but he refused to renounce violence to get it. Obama has an affinity for terrorists.. BTW calling people names is a losing proposition.

    Yes. Most 'sanctuary cities' break no federal statutes and courts do not hold them responsible for enforcing immigration laws.

    Sheriff Joe was re-elected 6 times because he actually upheld the law and did something.

    Barack Obama gave over 1,600 pardons to some despicable people. There was no outrage then. Why is that?
