LYING AGAIN.
Barack Obama has now commuted the sentences of more than 1,000 people in prison for drug crimes — Quartz
Quote:
The Obama administration has been commuting the sentences of non-violent drug offenders in higher numbers than any recent president, while criminal justice reform efforts are stalled by lawmakers in Congress. A statement by the White House said the actions are meant to reduce the effect of “outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws.”
Unlike pardons, commutations don’t officially constitute forgiveness of a crime. They reduce a prisoner’s sentence but don’t necessarily let them go free immediately.
The details of the most recent 79 commutations weren’t immediately clear.
When it comes to outright pardons, Obama is actually one of the least merciful US presidents.
