'He wants to release thousands more prisoners'Radio host Mark Levin predicts President Obama has a 2016 election trick up his sleeve a blanket pardon of thousands of federal inmates.
Everything good is turned upside-down, and now he wants to release thousands more prisoners. And he doesnt want those hiring at the federal level, in the federal bureaucracy, to be able to know if people have actually served time in certain circumstances. This is just incredible to me. Just think about Obama, what his priorities are. Illegal aliens, not American citizens. American citizens he has contempt for, Levin said Tuesday, the Daily Caller reported.
The conservative host was reacting to the Obama administrations massive release of up to 6,000 convicted drug felons Nov. 1, and its planned executive order to ban the box. The measure would delay the ability of federal hiring personnel and federal contractors to ascertain if job applicants have a criminal record.
This president sides with rioters against police officers. This president sides with criminals against successful taxpaying citizens. And I got to thinking. This is his constituent group, Levin continued. This is his constituent group, and so the more people they can release maybe at some point hell release these people and give them a blanket pardon. Youve heard it here first because I think maybe thats whats going on. You know because in some states you cant vote.
The White House released a statement on Obamas planned executive order Monday.
The president has called on Congress to follow a growing number of states, cities, and private companies that have decided to ban the box on job applications. We are encouraged that Congress is considering bipartisan legislation that would ban the box for federal hiring and hiring by federal contractors, the statement read, WND reported. In the meantime, the president is directing the Office of Personnel Management to take action where it can by modifying its rules to delay inquiries into criminal history until later in the hiring process.
The presidents new policy builds on changes to federal sentencing rules for drug crimes adopted by the U.S. Sentencing Commission in 2014.
Up to 46,000 inmates may eventually be released as a result of Obamas efforts, the Wall Street Journal estimated Oct. 6.
