Trump commutes sentence of kosher meatpacking executive

Money laundering and had almost 400 illegals working for the business? Not that I have an issue with the commutation, but I do gotta ask "why?" What makes this one stand out above others? That's something I never understood about pardons/commutations. Do they use pick names out of hats?

 

[Kutnupe14]

Anyone want to explain this to me? Why was this guy nominated?

Maybe it’s quid pro quo, maybe someone asks a favor. I tend not to like commutations unless there’s evidence of innocence that obstinate courts refuse to hear.

I have been assured repeatedly that he is one of the "Best People", duh. Shame on you for not being able to see what makes people the "best".

Maybe he's a 2nd cousin of someone Trump owes a favor to?

"Nice...."

I think this picture of Salma would be more appropriately placed in this thread:

Rosen is out at Fox News. No details yet for why. Just that he’s leaving.

There looks to be several cup sizes difference between the two actresses in the pictures.

Also a different dress.

I felt bad for that guy, at first, but then I didn't after I recognized that this guy understood he was unqualified, but expected to breeze through to a court. A damn federal court. C&B saves us again.

Yep...There is something about her....

As someone who spends a couple days a week in a variety of trial courts, I firmly believe that in order to be a trial judge you have to have solid working experience with how the system works. A trial judge makes vastly more procedural decisions then he does substantive ones, and unlike substantive decisions they often have to be made immediately. I don't care who nominates them, I am opposed to any one becoming a trial judge who doesn't have a firm understanding of how to try a case.

I have seen a few folks sit as trial court judges who did not have actual trial experience/qualifications. I would rather not do that again.
