What the hell? Why was this person pardoned? He was a judge who grossly misused his position to hurt 2300 children so he could put money in his pocket!

Shame on #Biden for this!

“Clemency is the term for the power the president has to pardon, in which a person is relieved of guilt and punishment, or to commute a sentence, which reduces or eliminates the punishment but doesn’t exonerate the wrongdoing. It’s customary for a president to grant mercy at the end of his term, using the power of the office to wipe away records or end prison terms.”
