Trump weighing roughly a half dozen new clemency cases
By Jordan Fabian - 06/06/18 05:38 PM EDT

The Trump administration is preparing dozens more clemency cases for President Trump's review, according to White House sources, the latest sign of Trump’s heightened interest in using his presidential powers to offer relief to convicts.
 
It is not clear how many cases the president is personally considering for either a presidential pardon or commuting a sentence, but sources say the number is roughly half a dozen.
 
Trump’s latest exercise of the power came earlier Wednesday when he commuted the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson, 63, who has served more than two decades in prison on first-time drug and money laundering offenses.

...decisions will be made "on a rolling basis."

WTF does that mean?

They'll be given to whoever rolls on in to the WH and asks for one?

It means they’ll be signed and tossed out randomly, when the news cycle becomes unfavorable and changes the subject.
