Why did this guy get a commutation of his sentence?
After spending his entire presidency coddling criminals and supporting Sorosian lawlessness, Joe Biden decided to commute the sentence of the one judge out there who sentenced kids to draconian, disproportionate jail terms on minor drug offenses -- in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks from private prison owners who belong in jail, too.
According to the New York Post:
The corrupt former Pennsylvania judge convicted of funneling juveniles to for-profit detention facilities in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks had his lengthy prison sentence commuted Thursday by President Biden.
Former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan, the jurist at the center of the so-called “Kids-for-Cash” scandal, was among 1,499 commutations the 82-year-old lame-duck president granted in the largest presidential act of clemency on a single day in modern history, according to the White House.
The mother of a victim of Conahan’s disturbing crime fumed upon hearing of his commutation. “I am shocked and I am hurt,” Sandy Fonzo, whose son committed suicide after he was locked up as part of the scheme orchestrated by Conahan and former judge Mark Ciavarella, said in a statement.
Rats like this belong in jail, given the level of injustice they do to young people from their position of respectability and public trust. A sentence that overpunishes a miscreant is just as bad as a slap on the wrist sentence for a bad crime, but in some ways worse, actually, given the injury it does to the detainees' psyches. And to see that in this judge's case, that it was done for big dollars for himself, is unspeakable.
If public officials who'd do this don't have to stay in jail as Joe Biden commanded, then who should have to at all? This horrible judge...

Makes you wonder what the back story is.
10% for the Big Guy?
Probably the standard 10% deal.
The worst people are being let out of prisons and on to our streets. Keep the ones you hold dear close to you so that they don’t fall into their clutches.
You do realize that you answered your own question?

Or maybe you don't.
It is not about "let everyone out of prison" it is to make it possible to lock up who you like and release who you like.
If you do not understand this you are missing a big chunk of the puzzle my friend.
I don’t like corrupt sadistic greedy people
Spending like a drunken sailor and pardoning criminals and pedophiles. He really cares for our country.
Suicides - ruined lives. The judge was sending the kids to a private ‘confinement’ and they kicked back cash to him for the longer sentences.
Effing ahold is a monster. I’m betting ‘da judge’ is a democrat.
I remember that judge. He was getting paid to get those kids.
Pardons and commutations should be reserved for people who were given overly harsh sentences or wrongly convicted, or who have served most of their sentences or turned their lives around in prison. NOT donors and cronies, and especially not drum like this guy.
How much of a cut did Joe and Hunter get?
We had a governor who took money for pardons when I was a kid:

It would be a shame if one of those kids looked him up, now.
Surprising that FIB never got him for his pardon machine.
Maybe not.....
President Trump should put investigators on this. If there is ANY money trail between this judge and Biden, then Biden should serve the judge’s term in jail!
