WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It's the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.
The commutations announced Thursday are for people who have served out home confinement sentences for at least one year after they were released. Prisons were uniquely bad for spreading the virus and some inmates were released in part to stop the spread. At one point, 1 in 5 prisoners had COVID-19, according to a tally kept by The Associated Press.
Biden said he would be taking more steps in the weeks ahead and would continue to review clemency petitions. The second largest single-day act of clemency was by Barack Obama, with 330, shortly before leaving office in 2017.
“America was built on the promise of possibility and second chances,” Biden said in a statement. “As president, I have the great privilege of extending mercy to people who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, restoring opportunity for Americans to participate in daily life and contribute to their communities, and taking steps to remove sentencing disparities for non-violent offenders, especially those convicted of drug offenses.”
hose pardoned Thursday had been convicted of nonviolent crimes such as drug offenses and turned their lives around, White House lawyers said. They include a woman who led emergency response teams during natural disasters; a church deacon who has worked as an addiction counselor and youth counselor; a doctoral student in molecular biosciences; and a decorated military veteran.

He’s entitled. What good is it reacting unless it’s Hunter?
BTTT
He thinks he pardoned Hunter 1500X.
Wow. A last burst of energy and look how he spends it.
How many Biden crime family members or their close associates are on the list?
he has already done this for non-violent drug offenders in Oct 2022 and Dec 2023. This is a continuation of that.
The devious (you should excuse the expression) “mind” of Joe Biden:
at least six times, he unequivocally vowed he would not pardon Hunter.
Biden’s pardon denial figured most prominently as a 2024 campaign flourish, calculated
to show Biden’s “reverence for the rule of law”.........against the purportedly legally insubordinate Trump.
Biden’s fake virtue signalling was greeted with approval
by the obeisant media........no questions asked, natch.
So, he has a soft spot for drug offenders just like Hunter.
While today’s announcement marks important progress, there is more to come. President Biden will continue to review clemency petitions and deliver criminal justice reform in a manner that advances equity and justice, promotes public safety, supports rehabilitation and reentry, and provides meaningful second chances.
He ain’t done yet according the the WH
Biden’s ungodly use of presidential power is a huge red
flag——this demented nincompoop is capable of anything.
Trump needs to determine if Biden put Hunter, drjill, and
the money hungry Biden Crime Family on the public payroll.....

My concern is that he’s just getting warmed up. BTW, if you believe, as I and many others do, that he “won” the presidency through fraud, then he’s NOT entitled. But that’s a discussion for another time.
Towards the end of Trump’s first term there were stories about the possible commutation or pardoning of people like Assange or Snowden, but I recall that Trump was threatened if he were to do so. They tried a second impeachment of Trump anyway. Maybe it is time for Biden to get the same treatment.
Odds are good that Joe has no idea who is on that list, or, that he just pardoned anyone.
The list was compiled by some DEI staffer, stuck under Joe’s nose during a waking moment, and they helped him move his arm & hand to sign.
Every crook in DC will be on one of those lists, before it’s over.
Biden is just providing recruits for Tren de Aragua.
Cover for the Hunter pardon.
They could try, but you’ll have the usual handful of RINOs who will come to the rescue and hand the Democrats a victory.
It’s not him doing it, it is the Obama crowd that is behind the scenes in the White House, DOJ and the Swamp who has supplied the names to some thug with a computer who is complying this crap. Braindead Byden cannot remember if he wiped his butt this morning when he went to the can. He is way, way past making decisions of importance. His big decision today is what toy he can play with in his playpen where Mama Jill has to put him when they are not rolling him out to make a statement. The total lapse of brain function the other day when his big screen TV when out and he could not even complete the sentence without tripping over his dead brain.

Hey, I distinctly recall Creepy Joe turning to the press on his way to an aircraft and clearly stating “My Butt’s been Wiped” a few years ago.”
