Trump Pardon or Commutation Prediction: Justin Volpe and Charles Schwartz

One of the more shocking pardons or commutations in the coming weeks will be for Justin Volpe, the former NYPD cop who attacked Abner Louima while he was in custody in 1997. Volpe took a plea deal and was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. Several other police officers were also convicted of other charges, including, famously, Charles Schwartz.

Volpe is currently serving time in a federal prison, and is not scheduled for release until 2025. I predict that Trump will at the very least commute his sentence and set him free, effective immediately. He may also officially pardon Charles Schwartz for his perjury charge, which was a federal conviction.

Both moves would be extremely popular among the NYPD, who have always supported Schwartz, and who have less publicly supported Volpe's requests for sentencing relief.

Plus there is nothing in it for Trump. There is no political benefit after losing the election either.

Trump will only help those who can spill the beans on him - like Manafort or Ghislaine Maxwell.
