Maybe it's an attempt to clean out private prisons of rich white people. Of course I know the message he's sending to associates considering testifying against him.

I'm aware of what she did, but I hope he does pardon Martha. I like her and believe her conviction suited no purpose to justice. It didn't send a message to others, nor did it deter white collar crime. I wouldn't bash the president for a couple months right now if I were her. Leave that to her friend Snoop for now.
