Lame duck Biden's clemency acts free an embezzler, corrupt officials, perverts, and fraudsters
https://justthenews.com ^ | 12/13/2024 | Steven Richards

Among the roughly 1,500 people granted clemency by the outgoing President Biden were several corrupt local officials, fraudsters, and a crooked judge. Biden also commuted the sentence of a Chinese spy convicted of possessing child pornography.

President Joe Biden’s pardon and commutation spree this week included granting indulgences for convicted fraudsters and corrupt public officials, a move that will likely sharpen criticism of the outgoing executive’s use of the constitutional power.

But the president, who is already facing public disapproval for his decision to grant an extensive pardon his own son for charged and potential crimes, may find it even harder to defend this new round of clemencies.

Among those granted some form of clemency, President Biden commuted the sentences of one corrupt public official who stole $54 million from her own community, a judge who sentenced juveniles to a private prison in exchange for kickbacks, and a stockbroker whose fraud scheme erased his victims’ savings.

Throughout his term, Biden and his supporters frequently asserted that “no one is above the law,” primarily to defend his own Justice Department’s prosecution of his predecessor and political rival Donald Trump.

In a statement announcing the clemency decisions, Biden portrayed the 39 pardons and roughly 1,500 commutations as an opportunity for a second chance.

Who can blame him when “10% for the Big Guy” is on the table?

“”embezzlers, corrupt officials, perverts, and fraudsters””

Sounds like they are getting ready for the Cabinet of the next democRAT Administration. And, especially, the next democRAT Department of Justice.

This is mind boggling. Some of the felons being pardoned or having their sentences commuted by Biden seem devoid of remorse and unreformed.

Is it possible that Hunter and Jill are brokering deals again and created a pardon mill? Does senile Joe even knowing what papers he is signing?

The Framers entrusted presidents with the power to pardon, assuming the office would be held by honorable, moral men. All these Biden pardons attest that he is neither.
