Here is the case for @realDonaldTrump pardoning Ross Ulbricht.
It is highly cynical and also effective.
First, Trump would lose no support by pardoning Ross.
Second, Trump would either GAIN supporters through this action, or he would neutralize attackers.

Counter-argument to pardoning Ross Ulbricht: - Ross hired someone to murder a rival (FAKE NEWS, was debunked). - Tough on crime people would be angry. (Sure, but it wouldn't cost Trump votes, and he would more than make up for their anger with newfound supporters.)

Ross Ulbricht is facing an injustice, but this is politics. NO ONE CARES. A pardon (commutation actually, not a full pardon) is the right political move for
@realDonaldTrump. And there is a lot of fake news about Ross. Get the facts here: https://freeross.org/Show this thread -

I hope he pardons him, but I think you’re underestimating how bad people would start hating Ross. He would be labeled a Nazi and racist in a week merely because Trump pardoned him. I see no political gain in it

It’s horrible (and scary) what they have done to Ross, even based on what little bit I know about it

All for pardoning Ross as his incarceration is criminal. As for helping trump: the moment he stops pandering to his Zionist handlers is the moment I give a shred of care for his grovelling existence
