#tRump’s #Pardon Economy💰
"Trump, in his 1st full year back in power, dispensed 88 pardons & 23 #commutations —not including te January 6th #rioters or 77 individuals preëmptively pardoned for any crimes they may hv committed during te 2020 #election.. Trump’s pardon spree may have happened in any event, but it was facilitated, as a #political matter, by #Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter.. Bill #Clinton’s pardons were even more squalid"

Re #Trump’s mass #pardons of #Jan6 insurgents, #KashPatel said he does “not agree w/the commutation of any sentence of any individual who committed violence against law enforcement.”

It’s a very lawyerly answer. The 14 people who received sentence #commutations, not pardons, were accused of #SeditiousConspiracy — a crime that requires the defendants used #violent force against the govt. But those who got commutations were not involved in the most violent assaults against on J6.

Too late. #Trump said he was gonna do it & you endorsed him anyway.

#Trump's near-total #pardon of #Jan6 *rioters* was denounced by the #FraternalOrderOfPolice, the largest police union in the US, & the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Tues.
The groups said they're deeply discouraged by #pardons & #commutations made by both Biden & Trump of individuals convicted of killing or assaulting #law enforcement officers [false equivalency: Biden 1; Trump >1,550]

…#Biden’s latest #commutations provide relief for individuals who received lengthy sentences based on discredited distinctions between crack & powder cocaine, as well as outdated sentencing enhancements for #drug #crimes — some embraced when Biden was a senator — that Congress has since addressed through bipartisan legislation.

“It is time that we equalize these sentencing disparities,” #Biden said in a statement. “This action is an important step toward righting historic wrongs, correcting sentencing disparities, & providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their families & communities after spending far too much time behind bars.”

The statement said Biden’s latest #clemency grants mean he has issued more individual #pardons & #commutations than any other U.S. president.

Biden commutes most federal death row sentences to life in prison before Trump takes office

President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is taking 37 people off federal death row to serve out life sentences behind bars — a decision that leaves only three federal prisoners awaiting execution when President-elect Donald Trump takes office next month.
