Biden cleared the bench, pardoning the entire federal death row but three.
Isn't "pardoning" and "commuting" different? Pardoning would be setting them free while commuting is something like changing the punishment from death to 99 years.
Biden Commuted Sentences for Scammers Who Defrauded $5 billion From Over 1 Million Victims
How absolutely fitting that the demented diaper soiling ice cream licking pedo criminal puppet “president” who in his lifetime accomplished less than zero in the private sector and only ever grifted off the taxpayer dime while extracting bribes as “the big guy” would end up on his way out of office pardoning some of the worst white collar Ponzi schemers in American history.
Biden commuted sentences for scammers who defrauded $5 billion from over 1 million victims.
It's the single mass jailbreak of scammer in history Here are some of the names and stories.
Zeek CEO Paul Burks' $900 million Ponzi scam claimed over 1 million working-class victims.
A decade later, victims of the scam in a town in North Carolina are still suffering. People took out mortgages on their homes and cashed out their life savings.
Biden had no sympathy for them. Only for the CEO.
Biden also commuted the sentence of James Fry, a hedge fund manager convicted in the Petters Group $1.9 billion Ponzi scheme described as “one of the largest and most complex Ponzi schemes in U.S. history”
Biden commuted the sentence of Timothy McGinn accused of defrauding 900 investors of $136 million, who had been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Victims included a father of two wounded veterans who had been putting aside the money for their expenses.
Former CEO Eric Bloom, accused of committing the "biggest fraud in Chicago court history" in what was described as a $665 million fraud scheme also got a pass from Biden.
Gregory McKnight, who ran a $72 million Ponzi scheme that targeted at least 3,000 investors in every state in the country, got bailed out by Biden.
Biden also sprang Nevin Shapiro, sentenced to 20 years in prison for a $930 million Ponzi scheme.
Biden also intervened on behalf of former CEO Gregory J. Podlucky, who ran a bottled water company and had been accused of a $685 million pyramid fraud loan scheme in which the money was spent on jewels and toy trains.
Marc Dreier, had been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a $740 million Ponzi scheme with losses to investors estimated at $400 million, also got a helping hand from the White House.
The full list includes 18 names involved in multi-million dollar scams. There were also other notorious figures including Paul Daugerdas : a lawyer accused of manufacturing $7 billion in fake tax deductions in what was described as “the biggest tax fraud prosecution ever."
“No one is above the law,” Biden told us, before pardoning his son and executing a mass jailbreak of some of the worst financial scammers and fraudsters in the United States.
No president has ever left office bailing out individuals who did so much harm to so many.
President Joe Biden’s callous decision to lavish festive cheer on brutal killers just before Christmas has reopened old wounds for the families of the victims.
As Slay News reported, Biden commuted the death sentences of dozens of federal inmates.
The families of Katie Skeen, 36, and Donna Major, 59, are speaking out after Biden spared the man who killed the two women during a 2017 bank robbery.
38-year-old Brandon Council murdered Skeen and Major in cold blood at CresCom Bank in Conway, South Carolina.
The callous act was captured on surveillance footage.
“She was shown no mercy at all,” Major’s husband, Danny Jenkins, told “Fox and Friends.”
“This man walked into the bank, never said two words to her.
“Shot her three times in total.
“He went and shot her coworker, Katie Skeen as well, who was totally defenseless and unaware of anything happening.”
“I can’t even believe that this is actually happening…”
A jury took just 32 minutes to find Council guilty. But in one stroke of a pen, Biden wiped away the jury’s decision and snatched justice from the victims.
“He’s a low life. Both Biden and Council, they’re both low lifes,” Skeen’s mother, 78-year-old Betty Davis, told the Daily Mail.
Biden is just warming up with the pardons.
He declined to accept the pardon or answer questions as to the sources of his information, or whether he furnished certain reporters information, giving the reason, as before, that the answers might tend to criminate him. He was presented by the grand jury to the district court for contempt, and adjudged guilty thereof and to pay a fine of $500, with leave, however, to purge himself by testifying fully as to the sources of the information sought of him, "and in event of his refusal or failure to so answer, a

commitment may issue in addition until he shall so comply," the court deciding that the President has power to pardon for a crime of which the individual has not been convicted and which he does not admit, and that acceptance is not necessary to toll the privilege against incrimination.
Burdick again appeared before the grand jury, again was questioned as before, again refused to accept the pardon, and again refused to answer upon the same grounds as before. A final order of commitment was then made and entered, and he was committed to the custody of the United States marshal until he should purge himself of contempt, or until the further order of the court. This writ of error was then allowed.
The question in the case is the effect of the unaccepted pardon. The Solicitor General, in his discussion of the question, following the division of the district court, contends (1) that the President has power to pardon an offense before admission or conviction of it, and (2) the acceptance of the pardon is not necessary to its complete exculpating effect. The conclusion is hence deduced that the pardon removed from Burdick all danger of accusation or conviction of crime, and that therefore the answers to the questions put to him could not tend to or accomplish his incrimination.
Plaintiff in error counters the contention and conclusion with directly opposing ones, and makes other contentions which attack the sufficiency of the pardon as immunity and the power of the President to grant a pardon for an offense not precedently established nor confessed nor defined.
The discussion of counsel is as broad as their contentions. Our consideration may be more limited. In our view, of the case it is not material to decide whether the pardoning power may be exercised before conviction. We may, however, refer to some aspects of the contentions of plaintiff in error, although the case may be brought to
It is a fact, perhaps missed by some of you, that Rep. James Comer’s House Oversight Committee just last week issued criminal referrals on James Biden (“Joe’s” brother) and First Son Hunter. Wait-a-minute, was not Hunter already pardoned for Gawd-knows how many misdeeds dating back to 2014, and (supposedly) preemptively for any alleged crimes to come ever hereafter? Part B of that may yet have to be adjudicated. A pardon is not intended to be a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Will some version of Biden Actor be required to testify?
As RadarOnline.com was among the first to report, Biden came under heavy scrutiny when his trouble-magnet son Hunter Biden, 55, notoriously cashed in on his dad's VP position by accepting a series of lucrative positions around the world, including a $1 million-a-year job on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian oil and gas firm – despite having no prior experience in the field.
Notably, Hunter took the Burisma gig on May 12, 2014 – less than three months after Joe was named the Barack Obama administration's point person for U.S.-Ukraine relations and policy.
The recently unearthed report included the bombshell revelation that Ukrainian officials viewed the Biden family's ties to allegedly sketchy business practices in the Eastern European nation "as evidence of a double-standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power."
But Joe, now 82, moved quickly to bury the humiliating CIA memo, sources said, after it was included in a daily briefing on February 16, 2015.
According to an email that was also made public by Ratcliffe, the U.S. official who briefed Joe on the Ukrainians' reaction to his 2015 visit then emailed the CIA saying the VP would "strongly prefer" the critical memo not be circulated.
"Based on the Office of the Vice President's preference, the information was never shared outside of the CIA," according to an agency official.
The recently unearthed report included the bombshell revelation that Ukrainian officials viewed the Biden family's ties to allegedly sketchy business practices in the Eastern European nation "as evidence of a double-standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power."
“I am hereby canceling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally,” Trump posted to Truth Social yesterday in his usual style. “Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury,” Trump added.
It might be a tad over-enthusiastic. The first one is easy: Trump can legally override any Biden executive order. But it is unclear that Trump can legally override pardons or clemency decisions after they’ve been made. It will require some creative legal work to make that happen, but I can’t rule it out; no president was ever dumb enough to try this before, so it has never been tested. Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi said her team was “reviewing the Biden administration’s reported use of autopen for pardons.” We’ll see.
