  • Summary

  • Last week, The White House announced Joe Biden will commute the sentences of almost fifteen hundred criminals and pardon 39 others. It’s the most commutations and clemencies ever granted in a single day.

    It’s an abuse of the pardon power.

    Above all, many of Biden’s commutations look like an ugly, obscene gesture to the country that elevated him to its highest position.

    They include a judge convicted of taking kickbacks to send minors to for-profit detention facilities — resulting in one young man committing suicide. Another recipient of clemency committed the largest municipal fraud in US history. Others include Chinese spies, and someone convicted of possessing child pornography.

    Only those with a deep and abiding hostility to America and a deep disrespect for its justice system could ever propose and approve such offenders for commutation.

    Shame on them all. And shame on Joe Biden.
