Alright anons, who wants to give odds on Sandy's grandmother Clotilde RIVERA is related to FALN terroist Oscar Lopez RIVERA? Lopez Rivera was offered clemency by Bill and his sentence was commuted by Hussein. Skank mayor of San Juan Carmen Yuliz Cruz escorted him back to PR and wanted to give him a job in her admin.
FALN activities
>López Rivera joined the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN), a Marxist-Leninist organization which in the 1970s fought to make Puerto Rico an independent communist nation.[4][8][9] The FALN was involved in more than 100 bombings in New York, Chicago and other cities, including the 1975 bombing at Fraunces Tavern in Manhattan that killed four people.
Clinton clemency
>The clemency offer by President Clinton was opposed by bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress, which passed a Joint Resolution condemning Clinton's action in mid-September. It passed the U.S. House of Representatives on a vote of 311–41)[48] and U.S. Senate by a vote of 95–2.[46] The Joint Resolution repeatedly labeled the 16 Clinton had offered conditional clemency as "terrorists".[46][g] On 21 September, 1999, a congressional hearing was held by the House Committee on Government Reform under the leadership of US representative Dan Burton on President Clinton's decision to offer clemency to members of the FALN; the report on the meeting was highly critical of the clemency offer, and titled Clemency for the FALN: a flawed decision?.[49]
>Some Republicans said it showed President Clinton was trying to build support in New York's Puerto Rican community for his wife's campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2000.[50] New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said: "All of a sudden this president grants clemency, and does it on conditions. And he's a president who wants to make a stand against terrorism, so it raises very legitimate questions."
Hussein Commutation. 1/17/17 released 5/17/17
>On January 17, 2017, U.S. president Barack Obama commuted López Rivera's sentence. His release was scheduled for May 17.[66] On February 9, 2017,[67] he was released from the Terre Haute prison and moved to Puerto Rico to serve the last three months of his sentence under house arrest.[68][69][70] San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, one of the Puerto Rico politicians accompanying Lopez Rivera to Puerto Rico, said that she plans to give Lopez Rivera a job in her administration.[71] According to US Congressman Luis Gutierrez, the release to Puerto Rico came as a surprise to many, as "most prisoners go to halfway houses, [but] he got to go home to be with his daughter".[72] López Rivera is currently living with his daughter at their home in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[72]
>Obama's decision to commute López Rivera's sentence was criticized by the columnists Charles Krauthammer and Charles Lane.[73][74] On January 20, 2017, the Wall Street Journal published an op-ed by Joe Connor, the son of one of the victims of the Fraunces Tavern bombing, condemning Obama's decision to commute López Rivera's sentence.[75]
>Rivera was released from federal custody on May 17, 2017 after spending 36 years in prison
