Uh if you had paid the least bit of attention you'd know that pardon was one of many Trump did in the runup to the passing of the first step act, specifically as a means of advancing criminal justice reform. Kim Kardashian and Kanye were lobbying for her and the bill, one of Jared Kushners pet projects. It was high profile and all over the news.
not only is trump's count of presidential clemencies rather low (and overwhelmingly granted to those well connected to the white house), you're not at addressing my main point, that
the ad dishonestly suggests she was released due to trump's criminal justice reform, when in reality it was a celebrity lobbying for her. you also didn't reply to my point that trump's department of justice is actually fighting hard to limit the scope of the already rather narrow 'first step act', and that both his AGs largely did away with obama's police and justice reform initiatives. just another PR stunt. all talk, (almost) no action.
