A) yes, probably

B) I don’t see this sort of leniency being offered to other drug dealers, in fact, the Trump administration wants to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.

C) a day 1 pardon communicates that it’s a top priority of the administration that drug dealers and cop killers (Jan 6) get freed.

D) he was convicted by a jury of his peers who know full well what a judge would sentence him to. Now Trump comes out to overrule that.

The time to change sentencing would have been pre-trial. We tried doing that, but that was a massive loser electorally.
