Among the various cronies and scumbags who were pardoned and/or freed from prison this week by convicted felon President Trump such as corrupt ex-Puerto Rico Gov Wanda Vazquez Garced and her accomplice Julio Herrera Velutini – whose daughter donated $1 million to a Trump PAC ahead of the amnesty – was a sleeper hit commutation for Arkansas meth dealer James Womack.
The hillbilly drug trafficker was a little under two years’ into his eight year bid for distribution when the Orange God Emperor sprung him on Friday because for his friends everything, for his enemies the law, as Crystal Jim’s father is none other than MAGA Congressman Steve Womack. A Trump White House minion told the Daily Beast that it was “humanitarian” because Womack’s wife has abdominal cancer and his other son effectively disabled from a serious seizure disorder.
Okay, sure. They’re in a rough spot. So are plenty of other federal inmates’ families and the fact that they’re even fucking pretending this was strictly based on those circumstances – with Womack telling the New York Times that Trump’s “gracious and thoughtful action” has “allowed my son to be with his family during a profoundly difficult time” – rather than the fact that his dad’s a loyal Trump ballsucker actually makes it kinda worse, right? Should’ve just made some shit up about James going to do work for a meth addiction support organization or something like that, made it about contrition and reform – instead of Steve Womack needing to stay in the House’s tiny GOP majority rather than resign to take care of his wife and son because the meth dealer’s in the clink.
