WASHINGTON
President Barack Obama pardoned 78 people and shortened the sentences of 153 others convicted of federal crimes on Monday – the most individual clemencies ever granted in a single day by any president. As he nears the end of his second term, Obama has issued more commutations than the previous 11 presidents combined, according to the White House.

“The 231 individuals granted clemency today have all demonstrated that they are ready to make use — or have already made use — of a second chance,” White House counsel Neil Eggleston wrote in a blog post. “While each clemency recipient’s story is unique, the common thread of rehabilitation underlies all of them.”

I'd have to see the individual cases but I don't have a problem on the surface with the commuting of sentences if the people are worthy and their crimes not violent.

I agree. The number doesn't matter, if there are a 1000 people who deserve less sentences etc, good on Obama.
 
Good. If they deserved it great. Wonder if Trump would be pardoned if he ever went to jail for grabbing pussies? Oh wait. Putin would find a way to get his boy out.
 
that's a lot. not near as as many as: http://www.worldtribune.com/report-...o-pardon-60000-felons-urge-votes-for-clinton/

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe used an autopen to sign thousands of letters granting voting rights to felons, enough to put the swing state in Hillary Clinton’s column, a report said.

“McAuliffe sought to allow all of Virginia’s estimated 200,000 felons to vote, but state courts said each individual felon’s circumstances must be weighed,” according to the Daily Caller report. “To get around that, McAuliffe used a mechanical autopen to rapidly sign thousands of letters, as if he had personally reviewed them.

Since Bill Clinton didn't for assault on various women while governor and President, doubtful

Of course, as has been discussed many times on this board, it's the nonviolent felonies that are often the most damaging to the public.

Especially those that are able to plead down; from the most egregious ones, by pleading guilty to lesser charges.
