Some non-Republican pardon discussion--Biden needs to pardon Leonard Peltier

[Cuthbert Allgood]

so that he doesn't die in prison. Or at least clemency.

It is embarrassing that he is still in prison while Amnesty International is working to get him released. I thought for sure Clinton would pardon him. And then I was positive Obama would. Biden needs to do the right thing.

I taught some of his family and I think of him often, but all these assholes looking for pardons made me think about it again last night.

1. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE!

Long overdue!

Don Siegelman, too.

3. The DOJ under Obama actually worked to increase Siegelman's sentence. n/t

2. It's not surprising that Clinton didn't grant him clemency...

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Peltier

Opponents of Peltier campaigned against his possible clemency; about 500 FBI agents and families protested outside the White House, and FBI director Louis Freeh sent a letter opposing Peltier's clemency to the White House. Clinton did not grant Peltier clemency.

5. With all due respect, fuck the FBI.

They pretty clearly framed him for this; they don't get to protest like they are all righteous.

4. Yes! Mumia Abu-Jamal Also needs a pardon. n/t

7. Another person unlikely to be receiving one. n/t
