President Joe Biden has already pardoned, commuted, or granted clemency to 8,027 convicted criminals, including his own son, and he still has five weeks to go.
To compare the swarm of pardons with those of 14 previous presidents, it’s extraordinary. Here are the numbers:
Franklin D. Roosevelt – 3,687
Harry S. Truman – 2,044
Dwight D. Eisenhower – 1,157
John F. Kennedy – 575 (his term was cut short by his assassination)
Lyndon B. Johnson – 1,187
Richard Nixon – 926
Gerald Ford – 409
Jimmy Carter – 566 (plus 200,000 blanket pardoned draft dodgers from the Vietnam War)
Ronald Reagan – 406
Bill J. Clinton – 459
George W. Bush – 200
Barack H. Obama – 1,927
Donald J. Trump – 237
Joseph R. Biden – 8,027
Among the people Biden had previously granted clemency to were two probable Chinese spies convicted of espionage and a relative of an officer in the Chinese Communist Party who had possession of tens of thousands of images of child porn on his computer while he was a doctoral student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. All three were part of a prisoner swap with China.
A Biden commutation was given to a pair of Pennsylvania judges who had sent nearly 1,500 juveniles to for-profit detention centers in exchange for kickbacks. Former Judge Michael Conahan was the ringleader along with Judge Mark Ciavarella in the “Kids for Cash” judicial corruption scandal.
Biden’s most eyebrow-raising pardon was a blanket pardon for his wayward son Hunter, who was set to be sentenced on Dec. 12. The president pardoned him for all known and unknown crimes that took place in a 10-year period, during which Biden was vice president and also president.
Most of his recent pardons and commutations were for felony drug convictions possession or selling of meth, cocaine, and crack cocaine.
How much is “The Big Guy” getting paid for these pardons?
That’s probably the real ‘hidden’ // ‘unreported’ story here!
The way he looks he won’t have much time to spend the loot. It always amazes me we see 80 year olds and older still grabbing for the cash for their future of course.
Not nearly as much as the guy who pardoned johnathan pollard and his handler
You beat me to it. Nicely done. After all, selling influence is the core business of the Biden Crime Family. One of the reasons you pardon a lot of people is to bury the paid pardons in the rest of the noise. Cheers –
Should we also expect pardons for attendees to Diddy’s Freakoff parties?
Can hardly wait for Joe Biden to get out of office and away.
GHW Bush 78.
Interesting that George H. W. Bush was not listed. That said, I remember distinctly the media losing their collective minds about George W. Bush’s and Trump’s pardons as if they’d personally walked through prisons with keys and flung open the barred doors of murderers, rapsist and worse. No one actually thought Biden would NOT pardon Hunter. We just didn’t know the actual depth of that pardon. And the Chinese spies: he better have after getting the cut for the “big guy.” Wonder who’s keeping track of the number of pedos that the kid-biter and hair-sniffer-in-chief will ultimately pardon? And don’t think his staff, oops, Biden, won’t issue more blanket pardons that will make American’s all gasp with a collective, WTF? They’ll make John Kirby’s pressers about Chinese spy balloons and drone seem absolutely transparent.
Merry Christmas folks. Hope you do better on your second chance.
And a merry Christmas to you sir. May all of America’s citizens be safe, happy, healthy, and peaceful.
What a pathetic way to ditch the criminal justice system.
A pathetic old man trading prison sentences for money at America’s expense to put criminals behind bars.
His legacy will live on for years to come and haunt the Democrats who supported the old fool.
The young generations who witness this denigration of the federal government will never live on for years as a dark cloud over history.
Past and future pardons to any and all
d o m i n i o n personnel, select FBI moles would be par for the course.
Our national habituated behavior of play “electing” the pre selected family criminal syndicates into the presidential office, the unique ability to pardon their own, and their minions’⁷ crimes are certain to follow.
The $400K salary is peanuts, its’ the massive kickbacks from control of trillions of $$ of public funds and proceeds from dictating policies to disperse which makes the office so valuable.
Most regime leadership positions worldwide are limited in skimming opportunity from the limited resources they actually have. Our unique American system is far more lucrative as vast paper values of “money” is digitally created, spent on enriching special interests and skimmed. The inflationary effects are a form of taxation and the looming fiscal disaster is delayed for our youth to suffer from.
My favorite innovation is the Biden regimes’ pardoning of any and all “potential” crimes committed, in the outside event any meaningful investigation ever were to occur in some future time.
Not sure that last one is even going to fly. How can anyone be pardoned if they haven’t even been charged, let alone convicted?
Worst president in history. Barry and Jimmy fighting for second.
Curious that all 3 are democrats. Perhaps not.
