Another round up of commentary about Prez Trump’s clemency work

Last week after Prez Trump granted more than 25 notable pardons and commutations, CNN reported that he was “expected to issue even more commutations in the coming days.”  A week later, no more new clemency grants have been announced. But there continues to be copious commentary about the last batch of grants.  Here is a partial round up:
