This is ridiculous. We need a constitutional amendment to limit presidential powers for pardon and clemency. Presidents should not be able to issue clemency or pardons for broad groups of people without vetting. They should be required to list each name individually that they want to pardon or provide clemency. |
What are you talking about?? |
I agree. This concept of bulk pardons is really, really problematic. |
This was apparently done as a kind of bulk operation. So nobody vetted the names, which is a massive failure. |
Up and down the chain. How many people pushed this, processed it and approved it? Yet, none of them checked the names. WTF So far the list includes this PA judge, someone with child porn, a local government official that stole over $50 million, and a college booster that ran a $1 billion ponzi scheme. |
This is what the prison abolitionists want, though, and he did what they asked. So if prison is abolished, people like this get freed. This was a gift to the extreme progressives |
Add to that the oncologist who gave patients diluted chemo drugs and reused needles giving a patient HIV. |
Yes. He gave clemency to an oncologist who deliberately hurt chemotherapy patients and gave someone HIV. It is appalling. |
Remember this when Dems try to claim they're morally superior.
Biden is releasing all sorts of horrible criminals. |

This whole fiasco is the Biden administration in a nutshell. The ACLU apparently was the group that had proposed this mass commutation and provided the Biden administration the criteria. The Biden administration then just adopted this progressive policy without scrutiny or due diligence. And they just ended up poorly and incompetently implementing a deeply flawed and unpopular policy promoted by progressive groups. |
You would think after losing the election for similar reasons the Biden administration would not have doubled down. On the other hand, maybe that’s all this was: an FU to the people who pushed Biden out. Of course, that makes Biden look like a monster but at this point, I think he’s shown us that is exactly what he is. I do not understand how anyone can support him at all at this point. |
When you look at the crimes these people committed, the only injustice is that these are legally considered “non-violent” criminals when the facts are that these evil people inflicted all sorts of violence upon their victims. It’s frightening how quickly the Democratic Party has moved down the slippery slope from giving second chances to people who maybe never had a chance in life to defending the release of the most evil affluent white collar criminals back into society. |
Exactly. This clemency list is a gift to rich criminals, probably tied with some kind of corruption. It is so weird how the Democrats have just embraced rich elitism as a political platform. |
A former law partner from Illinois, Paul Daugerdas, was convicted of overseeing fraudulent tax shelters — at a cost to the government of more than $1.63 billion. The scheme generated over $7 billion of fraudulent deductions, according to prosecutors. His law firm agreed to pay a $76 million penalty. Prosecutors called Daugerdas “the most prolific, pernicious and utterly unrepentant tax cheat in United States history,” while a judge described the case as “the biggest tax fraud prosecution ever,” according to Forbes. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2014; Biden commuted his sentence.
Seriously? |
Supporters of Biden and the Democrats, can you explain? What is going on here? |
