I'm indifferent to him being pardoned. But people saying he didn't deserve any punishment seems weird to me.

>>sidcoo+hj
To me too. But life without parole seemed weird as well.

That's why commutation is a thing. The courts have ruled this as within the pardon powers. His sentence could be changed to reflect something much more aligned with other convictions for the same crimes.

>>sophac+2n
Commutation is not considered during sentencing or mandatory minimums or anything like that. It's only an option for very popular cases and even then it's rare.

>>dmix+OB
No, op is saying Trump could have commuted the sentence rather than wiping the whole thing out

A presidential pardon doesn't "Wipe anything out". It's still on your record. It's not expunged
