  Remember when they promised us they were gonna go after the criminals.

  Well, this is what they meant. A drug charge from the 80s on someone who was falsely convicted and imprisoned for 40 years.

  In the meanwhile, actual criminals, like George Santos, and the Jan 6 traitors are having their sentences commuted.

  Incredible.

  What was the drug offense? 19yrs old 40 yrs ago. Small bag of weed I’m guessing.
