very few are paying attention to the news. January 2nd would have been better IMHO.

I am glad he did it, but don't think this is something that is a political plus or minus.

Trump will be justified in not executing three folks whose motives his followers agree with, while Joe will not have to actually commute them himself.

Pretty canny, actually. Their lives will be spared, too, I believe.

Bowers was convicted under the Trump admin in 2018, the Boston Bomber is an Islamic terrorist so of course Trump is happy he will be executed, and Trump did not commute Roofs sentence last time.

I honestly wouldn’t have held it against him for commuting the remaining three, despicable as they are, because there is zero purpose for the death penalty.

But that would have probably caused heavy backlash due to the notoriety of those crimes.
