Use some of the same methods the Biden DOJ used against Trump and members of his administration. They collectively came to power in 2021 under dubious electoral circumstances in 2020 and then proceeded to wield that power with all of the care and nuance of napalm. Laws and the Constitution be damned, they thought they were untouchable. And they worked hard to make the people pay dearly for resistance to their authority. Witness the January 6 Select Committee. Comprised of a comically corrupt and deceitful collection of rank partisans from both parties, the J6 Committee had two distinct goals: To...

These last-minute pardons will stain the Biden record like nothing else. It was quite a political day, and I don't mean President Trump outlining all those executive orders coming. It was "banana republic day," and lots of family members got pardoned. What for? What crime did they commit? I don't know, but they got pardoned before a jury got to hear the evidence. Nice work if you can find it, to paraphrase my late father. Here is the story: President Biden pardoned his siblings just minutes before leaving office on Monday. The pardon applies to James Biden, Sara Jones Biden,...

On his final day in office, Joe Biden issued controversial preemptive pardons for several high-profile figures, raising questions about the integrity of the pardon process. Among those pardoned were retired Gen. Mark Milley, accused of treason for actions during Trump’s final months, and Dr. Tony Fauci, who faced perjury allegations. Biden also pardoned several members of the January 6 Committee, which tampered with evidence and witnesses and committed obstruction of justice. But if you thought that was the final disgrace of President Joe Biden, you were wrong. Literally, moments before he officially lost the powers of the presidency, the Biden...

BREAKING: Biden pardons his family for all crimes since 2014. Last act in office

Mr. Biden emphasized that he did not believe his family did anything wrong, but he feared political attacks by Donald J. Trump.President Biden pardoned five members of his family in his last minutes in office, saying in a statement that he did so not because they did anything wrong but because he feared political attacks from incoming President Donald J. Trump. “My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics,” he said in his last statement as president. “Unfortunately, I have no reason to...

Joe Biden’s presidency has been a four-year-long dumpster fire. While he seems intent on conducting a rewrite of his legacy, his post-election decisions have been rife with controversy, igniting criticism across the political spectrum. Since the election, he went back on his word to pardon his son Hunter Biden, and he followed that up with a record-breaking clemency spree, which included child rapists and murderers.At the time I expressed concern that those actions were just the beginning, and it turns out I was right. Early on Friday morning, Biden issued thousands more commutations."Today, I am commuting the sentences of nearly...

As RedState previously reported, President Joe Biden decided to drop an unwelcome Christmas surprise on the families of murder victims whose killers were on federal death row by commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates to life in prison without the possibility of parole."... guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level," Biden's said in a statement posted to the White House website Monday.In...

The single greatest mass jailbreak of corrupt scammers in history. Some people lost their life savings while others lost their dreams in a $900 million fraud that was described as one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history and left behind 1 million victims. Investors in ‘Zeek’ had taken out loans and mortgages on their homes expecting to get a 125% return on their investment. Victims included the parents of a leukemia patient who were trying to pay for their daughter’s hospital visits. And while some of the money was recovered, people in towns like Lexington, North Carolina, where ZeekRewards...

Biden Grants Clemency to Doc Who Defrauded Medicare by Withholding Chemo From Cancer Patients Amy Curtis Amy Curtis 9:45 PM on December 14, 2024 AP Photo/Matt Rourke There have been some very interesting, if not downright infuriating, names on Joe Biden's historic clemency list. We told you about the kids-for-cash judge who took bribes to send children to private, for-profit prisons. One of the people President Biden granted clemency to was an Indian-American doctor who defrauded cancer patients by not providing them with their fully prescribed chemotherapy drugs while billing Medicaid for millions.

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...

President Biden pardoned two Chinese spies and the relative of a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party who was caught with tens of thousands of images of child pornography on his computer last month in a prisoner swap between the two countries that was made public Thursday when the three received clemencies. Yanjun Xu and Ji Chaoqun, who were both convicted of espionage, were granted clemency last month, along with Shanlin Jin, who was convicted of possession of more than 47,000 images of child pornography while a doctoral student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 2021. Five days...

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...

President 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. The decisions in the clemency petitions for Crundwell and Bloom were announced by the White House as part of a massive list of some 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations. Biden’s orders do not wipe out their felony convictions, but end their sentences immediately. The White...

(WBRE/WYOU) — Former Luzerne County judge Michael Conahan, who was sentenced for his role in the infamous Kids-for-Cash scandal in September of 2011, had his sentence commuted Thursday by President Joe Biden. According to the White House, President Biden granted clemency consisting of 39 pardons and the commutations of 1,499 others.

President Joe Biden caused a stir when he announced on a Sunday evening in early December his intention to pardon his son, Hunter. The pardon itself wasn't particularly surprising — many (myself included) would have found it more surprising had Joe opted not to spare his son on his way out the door at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The scope of the pardon (spanning close to 11 years, and very specifically harkening back to January 1, 2014, when Joe Biden was still vice president and Hunter was just about to be appointed to the Burisma board)? Now, that definitely raised eyebrows....

Liberal pundits and press in Washington are facing a growing nightmare in Washington. No, it is not the victory of President-elect Donald Trump or the Democrats’ loss of both houses of Congress and the popular vote in this election. It is the possibility that democracy may not collapse as predicted, and Trump might not even round up his opponents en masse. For months, liberals have been telling voters that this will likely be their last election and that democracy is about to end in the U.S. ABC host Whoopi Goldberg declared on “The View” that Trump will immediately become a...

IF BIDEN ISSUES SO-CALLED PRE-EMPTIVE OR PROSPECTIVE PARDONS IN SOME SYSTEMIC WAY, HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED The Biden regime has done more to destroy the rule of law and our constitutional order -- aimed against political opponents (most prominently Donald Trump) and for the empowerment of the Democrat Party -- than any past administration I can think of. And it's not done. The phrases "preventive pardons" or "prospective pardons" corrupt the language as they corrupt the law. For example, imagine the following: a president pardons himself not just for past or present federal offenses or possible federal offenses, BUT for...

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen. Mark Milley a pre-emptive pardon over fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration will go after the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The potential pardon for Milley, who was the nation’s highest-ranking military officer for part of Trump’s first term, was reported by the Washington Post Thursday. Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the...

Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with the discussions. Biden’s aides are deeply concerned about a range of current and former officials who could find themselves facing inquiries and even indictments, a sense of alarm which has only accelerated since Trump last weekend announced the appointment of Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Patel has publicly vowed to pursue Trump’s critics. The White...
