Trump's 11th-Hour Pardons Keep with Tradition

Trump's 11th-Hour Pardons Keep with Tradition

Liptak, Kevin. "Trump's 11th-hour Pardons Keep with Tradition, Even if Those Pardoned Do Not." CNN. Last modified January 18, 2021. https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/18/politics/donald-trump-eleventh-hour-pardons/index.html.

Before leaving office, Donald Trump is preparing to issue about 100 pardons and commutations. CNN says that the list as it is now does not include Trump himself.[1] Donald Trump had issued a number of commutations before 2020 Christmas but put a pause on them days leading to the Electoral College count. The list of pardons was expected to include a mix of criminal justice reform minded pardons as well as more controversial ones. According to CNN many of the people in the list of pardons fall along predictable lines.  

Good Karma for those who comment...
