is there a list of those who did get pardoned & their crimes?
Thanks to John McCain not blocking my access to Google here in Arizona (else would've had to travel across the river to Nevada), mes found it: https://www.justice.gov/pardon/obama-pardons

Unfortunately I didn't manage to find any life sentence in the list of pardons, so it's hard to compare to Ulbricht's case. As far as I remeber he ordered murders and torture operating the largest online drug market in the world at the same time, so considering to pardon him was a tough call.
Jesus motherfuckin' Christ! I had to put on my underwear and swim the Colorado River to Nevada so to Google given that you, too, don't have access, hence the helping hand on my part.
Full list of 64 individuals pardoned and 209 sentences commuted by President Obama: http://wgntv.com/2017/01/17/full-list-of-64-individuals-pardoned-and-209-sentences-commuted-by-president-obama/
According to the White House website, Obama has now commuted more sentences than any president in the country’s history, with a total of 1,385 including 504 life sentences, and he has issued a total of 212 pardons.
Newflash: Sonny Vleisides is starting BFL backup. Preorder early and preorder often. Rumor has it that he's on a good track now, trying to put the past behind him.
