After a letter was published with the signatures of dozens of politicians who signed their approval of Rubashkin’s release a few months ago, Senator Chuck Schumer, who considers himself an ally to Jewish causes, was noticeably absent.
Senator Schumer told reporters that he has a policy to never write letters for prisoners but says he assured Pres. Trump that Democrats will not attack him on Rubashkin.
Senator Schumer also says that President Trump was not going to commute Rubashkin until he got guarantees from Pelosi and Schumer that Democrats will back him.
