Trump first pardon.
Joe Arpaio has been accused of numerous types of police misconduct, including abuse of power, misuse of funds, failure to investigate sex crimes, criminal negligence, abuse of suspects in custody, improper clearance of cases, unlawful enforcement of immigration laws, and election law violations. A Federal court monitor was appointed to oversee his office's operations because of complaints of racial profiling. The U.S. Department of Justice concluded that Arpaio oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history, and subsequently filed suit against him for unlawful discriminatory police conduct. Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) were named as defendants in dozens of civil lawsuits brought by citizens arrested by Arpaio and his deputies alleging wrongful arrest, wrongful death, entrapment and other claims, costing taxpayers in Maricopa County over $140 million in litigation against Arpaio during his tenure as sheriff Trump’s second pardon Kristian Mark Saucier(born c. 1986) is a former U.S. Navy sailor who was convicted of unauthorized retention of national defense information and sentenced to one year in prison in October 2016 for taking photographs of classified engineering areas of USS Alexandria (SSN-757), a nuclear-powered attack submarine, in 2009. President Donald Trump pardoned Saucier on March 9, 2018 Trump’s third pardon From 2001 to 2005, Libby held the offices of Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs, Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States and Assistant to the President during the administration of President George W. Bush. In October 2005, Libby resigned from all three government positions after he was indicted on five counts by a federal grand jury concerning the investigation of the leak of the covert identity of Central Intelligence Agency officer Valerie Plame Wilson. He was subsequently convicted of four counts (one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of perjury, and one count of making false statements), making him the highest-ranking White House official convicted in a government scandal since John Poindexter, the national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan in the Iran–Contra affair. Etc let jump to Trump granted clemency to five of his former campaign staff members and political advisers: Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Stephen K. Bannon, and George Papadopoulos. Trump's grants of clemency were criticized by the federal agents and prosecutors who investigated and prosecuted the cases. |
Um…. Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio |
Every single person Trump wants to head our government agencies has contributed massive amounts of money to his campaign and has publicly praised him. None are the most qualified. It doesn’t take long to become a corrupt politician. It takes one term. |
They all have questionable pardons. I bet this guy is crying health problems. Too bad for him. |
How can Biden grant clemency to a disgusting pedophile? |
Wah wah wah
Yes, a terrible pardon. I totally agree. But wah wah wah, EVERY pardon Trump made was far worse. Far, far, far worse. And Trump is going to pardon all the January 6 insurrectionists who broke into our nation's capital and caused the injuries and deaths of many police officers guarding the building. That's on Day 1. How many other crooks and vile human beings do you think he's going to pardon before the end of his term? There is no comparison between the two men. |
pedophiles are the worst, no contest. |
You're just now figuring out he's a charlatan and a scum bag... wow. |
It’s worse. So many families destroyed for bribes. And Biden chose this guy to pardon. Yuck. Biden makes me sad and mad at the same time. |
Has a pedophile ever been pardoned or granted clemency before? |
He's done about 14 of his 17 years, and has been in home confinement since COVID. |
An Allen man who was an international student at Southern Methodist University has pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography after police found more than 47,000 images and videos on his computer last January.
Shanlin Jin, 23, issued the guilty plea in late December. He was also charged with two other counts related to child pornography: one for receipt and another for distribution of child pornography. He initially pleaded not guilty on all three counts last spring. ![]() |
Commuted is not pardoned. |
Biden said many of the 1,500 people whose sentences he is commuting "would receive lower sentences if charged under today's laws, policies and practices," and that they have "successfully reintegrated into their families and communities and have shown that they deserve a second chance." The 39 people being pardoned have shown "commitment to making their communities stronger and safer," the president said. Most were convicted of drug offenses. What is a presidential pardon and a commutation of sentence? Here's what to know. Commutation of sentence A commutation of sentence "reduces a sentence, either totally or partially, that is then being served, but it does not change the fact of conviction, imply innocence, or remove civil disabilities that apply to the convicted person as a result of the criminal conviction," the DOJ says. Additionally, a commutation of sentence may include the lifting of any financial obligations that are imposed as part of a sentence, such as a fine or restitution, and has no effect on a person's immigration status and will not prevent removal or deportation from the U.S. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/...entence/76941372007/ A pedophile isn’t worthy of a commutation. |
Oh my God. |
