Except Trump doesn't give a fuck about people in prison... not until he or his family go there.If she can use her celebrity for something positive and help do something about your country's fucked up prison system, then great.
Trump isn't going to pardon an older, poor black female who has been in prison for over 20 years for a non violent drug crime, but he's happy to pardon all kinds of white collar criminals and assholes who he can easily relate to. Some think he's trying to send a message to those who might turn on him and talk to Mueller. Tell a lie and I'll pardon you. Just don't talk about the things I've done.
He just pardoned another asshole yesterday, while he never said a word about the woman that Kim was trying to convince him to pardon.

It appears this woman was a victim of the system and has served a long time already.article said:President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, a first-time nonviolent drug offender, a week after Kim Kardashian West pleaded her case during an Oval Office meeting with Trump.
Johnson has already served 21 years of a life sentence after she was convicted on charges of conspiracy to possess cocaine and attempted possession of cocaine, according to the nonprofit Can-Do, which advocates for clemency for non-violent drug offenders.
So, now's the time for Playboy Centerfolds to run for and take over Congress, in order to get something accomplished?It's weird that nobody's figured out before this that the best way to get Trump to do something is to have a Kardashian ask him for it.

I'm not certain.Trump isn't going to pardon an older, poor black female who has been in prison for over 20 years for a non violent drug crime, but he's happy to pardon all kinds of white collar criminals and assholes who he can easily relate to.

Why did she get life? I was under the impression it was for smuggling coke and working with drug cartels, but I haven't looked into it deeply.
It really sounds odd to me.AP said:The White House has announced that the President has pardoned Alice Marie Johnson. Johnson was sentenced to life after only her first conviction of drug smuggling and conspiracy. The White House statement indicated that Johnson had served over twenty years of her sentence and was a model prisoner.
In a hastily put together press conference, the prison warden introduced Johnson as the "one person who knew the pulse of the prison". Alice "Big Mama" Johnson, wearing a lot of elaborate and apparently authentic jewelry, stated that she was glad to hear she was pardoned and stated she had learned from her mistakes and she'd never "make the same mistakes again". She also noted that she didn't let this time in prison go to waste, instead took advantage of the opportunities provided to her such as "learning new skills, making connections, establishing distribution networks."
The warden stated "Big Mama's release would be as soon as a few formalities related the pardon were completed."
it's an important step in Trump's war on drugs.It really sounds odd to me.
About as funny too.Big Mama's life story sounds like a Tyler Perry movie.
