On Friday, three days before the end of his presidency, President Joe Biden set a new record for the most pardons, clemencies, and commuted sentences ever granted by a president.
He commuted the sentences of nearly 2,500 non-violent drug offenders, whose sentences were more harsh than the sentences given today for similar offenses.
“Today’s clemency action provides relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack and powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for drug crimes,” Biden said in a statement. “This action is an important step toward righting historic wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families and communities after spending far too much time behind bars.”
The White House didn’t release the names of the offenders whose sentences he has commuted.
Biden has long has a lax view of illegal drugs, and seems unconcerned that the drug trade is fueled by his open border policies and involves layers of other violent crimes by criminal gangs. The Secret Service and F.B.I. still have not released a report on the packet of cocaine found in the White House near the Oval Office in July of 2023. The agencies closed the investigation a few weeks later, saying they could find no evidence, although the DNA on the package provided a “partial hit.” Critics like Sen. Ted Cruz have raised concerns about a coverup.
Why not just empty the prisons. Let them all out. It would actually be easier than these piecemeal bits.
Hum, should be very easy now for Trump to pardon ALL the people convicted for their participation in the J6 protest!
This guy is laying the ground for being a pure criminal that occupied the White House for 4 years. Drug king pin, bribery taking, deal making with foreign criminal organizations, and letting thousands of criminals walk among us.
Awesome. More damage done. There is a special place in hell for him. Let’s see what other deviant sh– he can pull in the next 72 hours.
He once again just punched law enforcement on the face by releasing these criminals. 7/8 of them will be back in the clink in the next 6 months
That goes without saying, because statistically most criminals, even if they complete their full terms, our repeat offenders and ended up back in the slammer.So you can’t go by that.
Why not? At this point he may as well posthumously pardon Charles Manson
and Freddy Kruger.
Just wait for the boob to pardon himself in a fashion similar to that which he provided his vermin spawn.
Why not a ham sandwich too?
If what the article says is correct. All he did was even the playing field. And people got less of a sentence and credit for time served, just the way they are sentenced currently. I remember when people used to get ten years for having marijuana. If prisons are overcrowded, which I can tell you that they are, all he did, was make room for all the illegal aliens that trump is going to throw in jail.
Sounds about right.
Greg supporting an action that releases criminals who are committing crimes that destroy families and reduce overall quality of life for everyone.
Don’t blame me for their lack of rehab. Just leveling up the justice systems playing field. I thought you would champion fairness. Guess I was wrong.
Emblematic of every Democrat & Rhino sentiment and true character! Yet, the “Political Prisoners” continue to rot in udder hell. This ‘social-war’ against Freedom and Liberty is yet from over and the cancer must be expunged, one way or another, whereas the end will justify the means!
The end never justifies the means. If it did, we would have nuked Hanoi, and n korea.
Well, if he’s being so open with the pardons, let’s just have Trump pardon the entire US population for I don’t know one month three months a year you can’t discriminate so if the criminals get pardoned in the non-criminal should get pardoned for anything that may do in a time frame. Everybody gets a free get out of jail card. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
They didn’t get a get out of jail free card. They already served enough time That would be equal to the crime if they were convicted today.
You’re telling me that the criminals served their time and were still in jail?
Rapist and murderers get to get out and do it again? I would gladly put them in a house right next-door to you and they could be your neighbors. Must be some of your jailhouse friends you’re talking about.
They may have been non-violent going into prison, but how many are non-violent now, having attended what amounts to graduate school for violent criminals?
