"It is urged clearly, unequivocally, and without delay that the president issue an executive order granting a full and unconditional pardon to all non-violent felons who have completed their sentences. This act would be more than a gesture of compassion. It would be a defining stroke of moral leadership. Over 70 million Americans carry the lifelong burden of a criminal record, despite having fulfilled their legal debt to society."
"They are our neighbors, coworkers, parents, veterans, and citizens who live under silent exile, denied employment, housing, education, and the right to fully participate in the country they call home. With a single act, the burden can be lifted, Cohen added. He also came up with a name for the move, calling it TEPO, the Trump Emancipation Proclamation Order. I believe that this Trump Emancipation Proclamation will be the single most important act of kindness that any president can bestow on 70 million Americans and their families, Cohen went on to argue."
Michael Cohen sent letters to Presidents Joe Biden and Donald Trump requesting sweeping executive pardons for non-violent felons who have completed their sentences. The proposed pardon would be full and unconditional, aimed at lifting lifelong barriers that deny employment, housing, education, and full civic participation to more than 70 million Americans with criminal records. Cohen labeled the proposal TEPO, the Trump Emancipation Proclamation Order, and described it as a defining act of moral leadership and kindness. Cohen also recounted harsh prison treatment and alleged that Attorney General Bill Barr had him remanded back to prison under extreme conditions.
