Biden Commutes Roughly 1,500 Sentences and Pardons 39

The White House: President Biden announced that he is granting clemency to nearly 1,500 Americans - the most ever in a single day - who have shown successful rehabilitation and a strong commitment to making their communities safer. The President is commuting the sentences of close to 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities. He is also pardoning 39 individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. These actions represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.

If I'm not mistaken this sets a new single day clemency record.

#4 Yup, Dems are lining up everywhere to get their get out of jail free cards. If they weren't crooks they wouldn't need them.

FishPoosie is excited he elected Epstein's best friend to serve as president of the United States.

Putin and Musk have plans for this nation's future.

Mostly to kill it.

He pardoned the lady that embezzled over 50 million from I think it was Chicago as the comptroller and spent it on horses.

Here's a take on the worst of these pardons

The pardon power should be eliminated as it simply attracts corruption.

It should at least be limited to exclude anyone who is related to the president or their administration, or who had any connection to the president when they committed their crimes.

Nothing there of course...

So I went and read the list. I don't recognize the names. What I do recognize is what these people did with their lives after release. Most of them seem to be non-violent offenses from their early 20s who turned their lives around despite having federal convictions.

Oh I see - Rita Crundwell. As usual you are wrong. She was not pardoned. The last year of her sentence, which she was serving at home btw, was commuted. The one I have biggest issue with was Eric Bloom's sentence commutation. He has not served enough time but probably would have been released soon anyhow. I am sure Trump has a place for him on his cabinet. BTW these people have to accept the pardons and commutations.

#19 | Posted by GalaxiePete at 2024-12-13 02:54 PM

Name?

Rita Crundwell. She was released from prison in 2021.

"What harm could come from turning loose Chinese spies and pedos?"

Trumpy is threatening revenge and retribution on everyone he doesn't like and mass deportations and promises to pardon the violent J6 insurrectionists.

So..

GFY.

The only ones who would turn this down, would do so because they wouldn't be safe on the outside. The way to look at it is Biden didn't HAVE to pardon them or commute their sentences.

#22 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2024-12-13 03:58 PM

Trumpers are too stupid to realize how pathetic their concern trolling is.

Where were all your objections when Trump was pardoning his criminal cohorts straight out of prison?

Fkkk off losers.

Oh the horror, I'm only half right, Biden commuted the sentence of one of the most prolific embezzlers ever.

And trump pardoned the russian assets who helped him collude with putin

#25 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2024-12-13 06:15 PM

Bet your money that the Biden crime family gets kickbacks for every pardon.

Pennsylvanians including Gov Shapiro are outraged that he pardoned a corrupt Scranton judge who got millions to sentence kids to private prisons.

This is truly one corrupt politician we need to party hearty when he kicks the bucket. Destructive pos.

This post election is nuts. Cheerleading left wing terrorist, nothing Biden does is ever immoral now because Trump.

#28 | Posted by sitzkrieg at 2024-12-14 09:44 AM

and a commutation for the cash for kids judge.

jfc.

Then your expectations were fulfilled because he hasn't done anything near as bad.

Bet your money that republicans lie about everything. Just like your source for biden's "kickbacks from ukraine" turned out to be a russian spy.

Nothing anybody does is immoral compared to Trumpy. Apparently. He really lowered that bar didn't he?

The dude could shoot someone on 5th Ave rape a few women while waiting for the police to arrive and actually gain in popularity and, of course, never be prosecuted or held accountable for anything he does. (And if he was somehow accidentally convicted he will never sentenced.)

Welcome to Trumplandia.

The new and improved America. Land of the Free, Home of the Brave and where Anything goes!

Don't give up! Trumpy is still threatening more revenge and retribution.

I would expect there are more pardons coming.
