Including a Democrat county chairman..
the majority of Biden’s pardons and commutations involved drug dealers, along with some Chinese spies, but hidden within the 1,000-plus giveaway to the criminal community were some more elite criminals.
Like the ‘cash-for-kids’ judge.
Biden has sparked anger among Pennsylvanians after he commuted the sentence of a corrupt judge who was jailed for more than 17 years after he was caught taking kickbacks for sending juveniles to for-profit detention facilities.
In what came to be known as the kids-for-cash scandal, former Judge Michael Conahan shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and shared $2.8 million in illegal payments from the builder and co-owner of two for-profit lockups.
The scandal is considered Pennsylvania’s largest-ever judicial corruption scheme with the state’s supreme court throwing out some 4,000 juvenile convictions involving more than 2,300 kids after the scheme was uncovered.
The comptroller who embezzled over $53 million to fund her lifestyle and ‘horse-breeding’ business.
Joe Biden on Thursday commuted the sentences of two of the Chicago area’s most notorious fraudsters: former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell, who embezzled nearly $54 million from the tiny town to fund a lavish lifestyle, and Eric Bloom, the onetime leader of a Northbrook management firm who defrauded investors of more than $665 million.
Another in Albany.
Joe Biden on Thursday issued a commutation for former Albany investment broker Timothy M. McGinn, who was convicted along with David L. Smith more than a decade ago of defrauding hundreds of clients in a massive scheme that had wiped out the life savings for many of their victims.
Two others whose sentences were commuted this week were, like McGinn, serving prison terms for financial fraud.
They include Christopher Swartz, a 54-year-old former Watertown food and restaurant entrepreneur who was sentenced in 2017 to 150 months in federal prison for committing tax evasion and defrauding lenders and investors of more then $19 million.
And a fellow party scumbag.
It was July 2008 when the FBI stunned Cuyahoga County, raiding government buildings and businesses across the area.
Month after month, the investigation into county government snowballed as nearly 60 politicians, government officials and contractors were convicted after the investigation by the FBI and IRS.
The scandal gave rise to a reform county government, as voters overwhelmingly approved replacing three commissioners and a host of independently elected offices with a county executive and council. Longtime county commissioner and county Democratic Party chairman Jimmy Dimora was sentenced to 28 years in prison. Prosecutors said Dimora made about $450,000 off bribes, including trips to Las Vegas, prostitutes and an infamous outdoor stone-fired pizza oven installed in the backyard of his Independence home. But he was released in 2023 because of COVID-19 and on Thursday, President Joe Biden commuted his sentence.
Even this brief roundup suggests Biden pardoned financial criminals who stole nearly $80 million.
Biden is going to pardon himself preemptively for crimes on his last day, will take all bets. The MSM has been suggesting for a couple years that President Trump should do this especially when those fake crimes were charged, as Alinsky said paraphrasing: “Always accuse the others of which you do yourself.”
President Trump will do no such thing.
Well, 10% for the Big Guy.
Biden took bribes in the past and got away with it. Why wouldn’t he be doing it here?
Corrupt trash protecting other corrupt trash...
To Biden someone who stole 80 million is an amateur; perhaps he is allowing them to grow in the business of theft of money.
The old have to train the upcoming generation, after all.
Spies, thieves, pedophiles, I guess Joe can’t help it, they all seem just like family to him.
Seems like they probably supported dems and probably the big guy albeit the big guy to the chicongo thieves was obongo.
We need a prison just for politicians and their families. Fill it up
Prison costs me.
Exile is better. Load all left alive on a ship nd exile them to Kwajalein or Tinian or some remote Pacific island
The Biden’s have burned through, the 100’s of millions they collected in graft. The gravy train for the whole family is about to dry up forever. Pardons are Joe’s last attempt to set the family up for the future. Even so, Hunter will be broke and homeless in a few years.
But not an elderly grandmother who,was imprisoned for simply praying while protesting outside an abortion clinic
Remember the old song Pardon Me Ray, about the Tennessee governor?

Well now it is PARDON ME JOE!
Pardon me, Joe,
Are you the cat that signs the pardons?
Since you’re an old friend of mine
Just put your name on the line
(Put it on the line)
Double murder and rape
That’s all the jury put me in for
And I’m sure you’ll agree
They took advantage of me
Take a hundred thousand dollars, slip it under the door
Don’t mention any names and I won’t say what it’s for
Ain’t no use in cryin’
You’re not the one who’s dyin’
I gotta get my money’s worth for what I’m buyin’****
Seems like the 46th presidency was all about corruption
Criminals
10% payable to Joe Potatoes bagman.
He should be publicly hanged by the neck until dead. Probably wouldn’t know when he was. What a disgrace to our country. One that will take a century to live down and counteract his damage.
I wonder what the going rate is for a pardon? Or commutation?
Just wait till they find out how much cackles took.
