According to the White House, President Biden granted clemency consisting of 39 pardons and the commutations of 1,499 others.

Why not when he first got in office? I mean go ahead and clear the decks from the start. That’s 4 extra years of scamming potential wasted.

That’s one kind of sentence.

Here’s another sentence he ended:

Biden in the debate with Trump:

“Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with—look, if—we finally beat Medicare.”

He also let the bitch who embezzled millions from the city of Dixon IL (Ronald Reagan’s boyhood home town) out too.

It takes a crook to commute the sentence of a crook.

Here is my thought - a fairytale, of course - Bidet’s gravy train is OV-AH.

How else would he make $$$$$ before leaving the White Trailer Park?

PARDONS?

“Biden scraps rest of sentence...”

I figured that meant he had another brain freeze.

I am brawsing the list of those who received pardons. One thing missing... No mention of their “non violent” crimes.

Biden pardoned a fellow chomo with tens of thousands of child exploitation pornography. That is “non violent” according to Chomo Joe? What about those kids?

What about this judge? Were the kids he sent to private prisons for kickbacks treated violently?

How about the women Hunter Biden exploited and trafficked for his sexual appetites? How many of them were treated violently by Hunter and their pimps?

For love of money, women will sell their precious bodies; for a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight.

They probably want her to come teach Hunter how to really be a crook. What she did was really breath taking. Fairly small town. She got grants from the Feds for projects and took the money herself. Had the people convinced she had investments in cell phone towers in South America that paid for her lavish life style. She was a huge scandal in the horse show world. She was kicked out of the American Quarter Horse Association. It is still a big deal to a lot of people in our world. I have already gotten phone calls.

I’m wondering if Biden or Hunter maybe has paid cash for kids and to shut this guy up he’s pardoning him.

Perhaps I’m way off but it makes me think that. Why would any President pardon a child trafficker?

Worse...
Sandy Fonzo, who famously confronted Ciavarella outside federal court over the suicide of her son after he was placed in juvenile detention, called the development “deeply painful.”

“I am shocked and I am hurt,” Fonzo said in a statement. “Conahan‘s actions destroyed families, including mine, and my son‘s death is a tragic reminder of the consequences of his abuse of power. This pardon feels like an injustice for all of us who still suffer. Right now I am processing and doing the best I can to cope with the pain that this has brought back.”
The judges were convicted of accepting millions in kickbacks in exchange for populating for-profit juvenile prisons with offenders whose sentences were often disproportionate to their crimes.

The people who do that Kidz-4-Kash commercial need to go to prison too.

I think this is how it works; you give a certain amount of cash to the ‘crime family’ and your sentence is commuted or you are pardoned.
