Republican (fascist/socialist) President Trump pardons Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced to two life terms PLUS 40 years for operating the “Silk Road,” an anonymous illicit recreational pharmaceutical marketplace funded with Bitcoin.
NOTE: When Trump first became president in 2017, Ulbricht had already been in prison for three years.
Question: At this time there were approximately 85,000 United states subject/enemy/citizens incarcerated in Federal prisons for non-violent drug crimes, where were their pardons?
