Arpaio Latest in Long Line of Controversial Presidential Pardons
FILE - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is joined by Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio at a campaign event in Marshalltown, Iowa, Jan. 26, 2016.
Donald Trump on Friday issued the first clemency of his presidency, pardoning controversial former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
The 85-year-old Arpaio, an early Trump supporter, had been convicted of criminal contempt after defying a judge's order to stop racially profiling Latinos.
In Arpaio's defense, a White House statement cited his age and "life's work of protecting the public from the scourges of crime and illegal immigration."
Critics slammed the move, saying Trump acted to protect a political crony and didn't follow Department of Justice guidelines in issuing the pardon.
It is the latest in a long line of controversial clemencies granted by U.S. presidents.

It is the latest in a long line of controversial clemencies granted by U.S. presidents.
Former President Barack Obama granted clemency to over 1,900 people — more than any other president in over 60 years. The vast majority of those were commutations — most for nonviolent drug offenders whose sentences Obama had deemed too harsh.
Before leaving office, Obama also issued commutations to former intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, who was convicted of disclosing sensitive information to WikiLeaks.

Well, if you ignore the fact that all of the detainees were captured on the battlefield. Oh, and that pesky recidivism rate where a significant percentage of these terrorists return to the battlefield.
Legislators have suggested that rate lies at about 30%. Meaning, of the 201 terrorists released, around 60 have likely returned to the terrorism game, battling and even killing American military members.
“There should be no further releases from Gitmo,” Trump has previously stated. “These are extremely dangerous people and should not be allowed back onto the battlefield.”
How fitting that the man who allowed the spread of ISIS, who watched as attacks on American soil escalated in San Bernardino, Orlando, Boston, etc., would make America even less safe by releasing terrorists back to the Middle East.
