    Did the DOJ know something that we don’t? ...OR is this an example of how proper protocol and chain of command can = dysfunctional bureaucracy?https://twitter.com/jeffzeleny/status/1004476895189192707 …

    So why didn't Obama commute Alice Johnson's life sentence? The DOJ recommended three times against it: once in first term, twice in second. The last denial came only days before he left office: 1/6/17. Under Obama, the request didn't reach the Oval Office because DOJ denied.

        You should listen to @benshapiro podcast last week on this topic. He dug into the stories from when this went down. She was not some innocent who got caught up in the game. She was a kingpin and ran millions of dollars of drugs for Colombian drug lords.

        You don't think it was because she didn't want to be perceived as playing the race card? Same for Johnson's case.

        I would assume that holder and lunch recommended against so Obama followed their recommendation. Trump ignored the advice he got on it. Both are justifiable choices

        My guess is that she's still involved with organized crime.

        I'm going with the DOJ knowing something.

        This lady was not a low level offender. She was a large scale trafficker that the sentencing judge said was instrumental in bringing 3,000 tons of cocaine to America. What is next? El Chapo getting a commutation?

        Did Trump even run through DOJ? Same has pardons. Setting dangerous precedent with no push back.

        Occam Razor says Trump did nothing to improve on process, just responded to one celebrity for the attention. Ask how many others have equal or better cases and will be ignored.
