It was only a federal crime because it was in DC, so it does matter that it was in DC.
Meanwhile the last guy pardoned Blackwater contractors who murdered innocent civilians in cold blood. >

Did he ever pardon anyone who deserved it lol >

Only one that I can personally remember is Alice Marie Johnson, a black Tennessee woman who received a life sentence for a first-time drug offense. >

And even the way he handled that one came off a little fucked up.
For example, it was only clemency until the day after she spoke at the RNC. And then he made it a pardon. >

I didn’t know that . It’s very clear from Trump’s description if she weren’t in the audience when he delivered his speech there would probably not have been a pardon . 
“You were out there, I saw you in the audience last night, and I asked the folks if you could bring Alice over,” the president told her during a hastily arranged event in the Oval Office. “We’re going to give a full pardon. We’re going to do it right now.” >

Pop. Six. Squish. Ah-Ah. Cicero. Lipschitz. >

He had it coming. >

Damn, I hope she enjoys the remaining years she has left >


Ibn-Tamas was sentenced to a term of one to five years in prison with credit for time she served and was released.

It's a symbolic pardon. She's been out of prison for a long time. >

I was gonna say;
If I was 80 and had spent over 40 years in prison, I might ask if I can reject the pardon and just finish my life in prison. The stress involved in rebuilding a life for myself seems so much worse.
Now obviously, I've never been to prison, I just don't see myself being in the headspace at that age to start again. >

You'd wanna leave bro lol >

Brooks was here. >

I don't think it matters that it was in DC I'm pretty sure the president can pardon anyone for any federal crime.
