Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons have been positively scandalous — and the one for his son Hunter hasn’t even been the worst of them.
Biden’s pardons are terrible in and of themselves, but taken together they illustrate a more important point. Pardons are for resolving individual cases one at a time; pardons aren’t for policymaking.
First: Holy smokes, some of these pardons are bonkers, including Biden’s grant of clemency for the corrupt judge at the center of the “Kids for Cash” case, in which former Pennsylvania Judge Michael Conahan took bribes in exchange for wrongly sentencing children to time in for-profit youth prisons, padding his own bank account while helping the prisons to pad theirs.
Some 4,000 juvenile convictions had to be thrown out after the kickbacks were discovered.
And Biden gave clemency to Rita Crundwell, a corrupt local official in Illinois who carried out the largest municipal fraud scheme in US history.
along with his buddy poop franny, all in on killing innocent babies who have committed no crime but cant bring themselves to see a real evil being subjected to the ultimate punishment, meeting their maker! hopefully these two wont be much longer on their journey to get there!
