4. why would Trump commute the sentence of a "drug dealer" ?

...a member of an international group that had smuggled over 200 tons of weed from Canada into the US. Hydroponic, most likely. Maybe he was Eric's connection. Or Ivanka's.

I was kinda hoping he was a J6er.

Oh, I forgot, we aren't allowed to ask questions about Trump's pardons.
