          Informing the American public that their government is committing war crimes is a brave act of patriotism.

          .@derickr @Snowden There's no legal basis for such a reversal. Would require conviction of a separate crime.

          IANAL but this says he can do it, since she's not out before he takes over ("not delivered") http://www.wnd.com/2001/02/8310/  Hope it's not true.

          IANAL either, but my reading is that it affects truly last-minute pardons, not commutations. Both are fairly common. @Snowden

          Here, sentence is reduced, but still served. Then, pardons were made, but didn't reach prisoners before noon 1/20. @Snowden

          In any case, there are differences between pardon and commutation, but what those mean is the realm of lawyers. @Snowden
