Johnson has already served 21 years of a life sentence after she was convicted on charges of conspiracy to possess cocaine and attempted possession of cocaine

Holy fuck that's a thing? I get maybe a couple years for trying to buy it but Christ that's nuts.

How the fuck does she get a life sentence for something like that? Drug convictions are so ridiculously exaggerated

This is good. Some people will mock the optics of Trump meeting with Kim K and then pardoning someone based on her advocacy, but the end result here is an unquestionably good thing. If only all victims of our drug wars had a tabloid celebrity in their corner.

Charge: Conspiracy to possess cocaine; Attempted possession of cocaine; Money laundering

Money laundering is a serious crime under federal law. A violation of 18 U.S.C. 1956 can result in a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. A violation of 18 U.S.C. 1957 can result in a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. As with most federal financial crimes, the exact sentence will be determined primarily by the amount of money involved in the offense.

So she served 21 years for what could've been a UP TO 20 years for the Money Laundering.

That's a different article. I guess Jeremy Diamond felt the need to not mention the laundering.

Its not really a turn considering Kanye is a bit of a contrarian and has been riding this since 2016

He just got more vocal with it because May and June have been VERY busy months for him in terms of music release

She was involved with and supported very bad and violent people and the money laundering charge clearly played a roll in sentencing. She wasn't just some junkie who "attempted to buy" a little bit of cocaine and even in her recent interviews she said it was not worth it (referring to what she knew she was doing at the time).

That being said, her sentence was probably too harsh. Trump reviewed the evidence, spoke with the warden, and spent time researching her case. Since he came to the decision she should be freed, I definitely support it.
