If Donald Trump is re-elected president, he will release the life-sentenced founder of the infamous Silk Road site, where illegal drugs and other goods could be traded under the protection of anonymity.
This is what the former president says on Saturday in a speech at an event in Washington to name the presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party.
– If you vote vote for me, I will on day one commute the sentence for Ross Ulbricht, Trump said.
Ulbricht, 40, was arrested in 2013 in San Francisco and sentenced in 2015 to two life sentences plus an additional 40 years in prison. Trump’s performance was met with enthusiasm from the audience, which was otherwise skeptical and repeatedly booed Trump, who finally responded.

Hello! There has been an accident at the subway at Odenplan.
Have you published anything regarding the authority for psychological defense reporting tv4’s cold facts for the report on SD’s alleged troll factory?
Alex
Hi Alex, we have written about this.
What was the audience score at Taylor Swift’s concert? Can’t find it in any of the articles.
Lego
Hey Lego! We wonder about that, Taylor Swift said on stage that it was an audience record yesterday and we’ve been looking for the organizer all day without an answer unfortunately! Will update you as soon as we know more.
Don’t understand what the difference is between SD’s “troll factory” and Aftonbladet’s culture pages.
Can someone explain how it differs from e.g. Anders Lindberg’s texts and word pooping?
albino
The difference is that Anders writes his own opinions and signs with his own name.
A “troll factory” is a hidden organization that spreads misleading information for propaganda purposes – without being clear about who the sender is.
