No, you don’t have it right. Huckabee commuted his entire sentence. Without that step, there is no way he sets a single foot outside of prison. There is no functional difference between clemency and a pardon, other than the fact that clemency acknowledges the benefactor’s guilt while a pardon does not.

Correct. And as far as it goes, I’m more than willing to assign blame at other points within the chain of supervision where responsibility to the public seems obviously to have broken down.

But it all started with Chucklebee, and this waste of air would still be incarcerated if it weren’t for his clemency ruling.
