2. Fck.

And it would have been the perfect opportunity too...to say F..k You to the corrupt FBI who railroaded Peltier.

3. I thought this President was his best hope.

I thought wrong.

4. That is a lot of names. I wonder how Barack decides.

Does he look up every case? Or does someone else do that?

I think that it is fair to say that Trump will look at the first 15 names, probably pardon them all and go to sleep.

5. I don't think Trump will ever pardon anyone

unless it is a hardcore criminal who is going to work for him.

[Bayard]

6. Oh.......crap

He's going to die in prison.

[ismnotwasm]

7. Goddamit

That would have been one hugely bright spot in the shitty month.

8. Traditional Asian family names seem vastly underrepresented

Wonder if that works in their favor. Interesting list.
