"It’s very clear, some people got very much richer compiling that list the president could have one or two he wants to do political favors, but those pardons in general were clearly bought. A brutal robber and kidnapper can get a pardon, what happens to the president that released him when he returns to crime?"

"Extremely as example. Sincerely, it affected my likeness for the president. So someone can kill me and get a pardon from the man I support. It's shameful, to say the least."
