PARDON ME: Biden Goes Crazy! Issues Record 1,538 Executive Clemencies

President Joe Biden released a list of 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations of sentences Thursday, setting the record for presidential clemencies in a single day. The full list of pardons and commutations can be found here.

The White House described the majority of those pardoned as having committed “nonviolent drug offenses.” You can be the judge of that!

The pardon list includes Mikhail Zemlyansky, a Long Island, New York, man who committed a $35 million fraud. New York City’s WNBC-TV reported prosecutors called it “the largest single no-fault car insurance fraud scheme ever prosecuted.”

Here he pardoned a corrupt judge who took kickbacks for sending children to for-profit detention facilities.

The president is reportedly considering issuing preemptive pardons to President-elect Donald Trump’s political opponents, some of whom could include Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.

Questions are being asked about kickbacks
