YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It's damn difficult to get a Presidential pardon. Emmy-winning soap actress Martha Byrne worked tirelessly to get one for her husband, former NYPD detective Michael McMahon. Their story has all the makings of a Netflix drama. Martha and Michael tell Michele how the FBI falsely accused McMahon of coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party. A judge sentenced McMahon to Federal prison, and the details are astounding.
