F*CK "White House Pardon Czar" swooning over Trump's NFL player pardons. Justice isn't justice if it isn't equal.
I call bullshit on everything you're about to read below.Trump pardoned five former NFL players for various criminal convictions, including drug trafficking and perjury.
The players who received clemency were Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Joe Klecko, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon. White House pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson announced the decisions on social media.
"As football reminds us, excellence is built on grit, grace, and the courage to rise again," Johnson wrote in her post. "So is our nation."
"Grateful to @POTUS for his continued commitment to second chances," she added. "Mercy changes lives."
Johnson held up the pardon document for Newton in an accompanying photo, saying that Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones personally gave the news to the two-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler.
