Regarding POTUS comment about someone wanting clemency a couple of days ago, it was probably do-gooders wanting to stop the execution of Christopher Vialva. He was executed yesterday for the brutal murder of a young couple in 1999. He was the first black man put to death since Feds resumed executions after a 20 year hiatus.
Of course, double meanings do exist so he may have been referring
to other crimes during that time!
