One was eventually, 34 counts.

And the other pardoned the witness to his crimes.

[jon-nyc]

The joke was already made. That just came off as cope.

Yeah, I'll admit it was funny. But you picked the draft dodger you hate.

How many of those Maryjane commutations were put in jail by Kamala’s team?

[jon-nyc]

It would be interesting to see the details. Presidents of both parties have sought to free ‘non-violent drug offenders’ just to discover there really aren’t many in the federal prisons.

Spies and a child pornographer.

Nice work, you senile addled old man. Did the people who change your diaper do this, or was it on you?

[George K]

$53M of embezzlement;

Good thing it wasn't 50K images. That would have been serious.

Remember kids, there's no such thing as the swamp. All of this is transparent and obviously motivated by the interests of the United States. It even says so right there on the document.

The child porn guy - it was part of a prisoner swap.

Which, of course, makes it OK. Sorry about my outrage.

[George K]

Hamas dude...

That's fine. Not on the taxpayer's dime anymore at least.

Hey senile old man, did you miss the Community Note?

Hey, did you see my post #20? If not, take a look where I commented on that.

If you did, I have two words, and they're not "Good Morning."

[jon-nyc]

I didn’t see it until after. But I kept my post anyway because you didn’t mention the other two guys and also, and more importantly, I thought it was funny.

Speaking of child endangerment:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/a-former-pa-judge-involved-in-the-kids-for-cash-scandal-is-granted-clemency-by-president-joe-biden/ar-AA1vLEeI

A former Pennsylvania judge who was convicted of sending children to jail while receiving millions of dollars in kickbacks from the facility’s operator in the early 2000s was one of the nearly 1,500 people whose sentences were commuted Thursday by President Joe Biden.

Michael Conahan had been sentenced to 171/2 years in federal prison after being convicted of racketeering conspiracy for his role in the so-called Kids for Cash scandal in Luzerne County. Conahan pulled funding from a county-owned juvenile detention center there and agreed to send juveniles to a for-profit facility in exchange for payments, a scheme that netted him and fellow jurist Mark Ciavarella nearly $3 million.

Conahan, who was convicted in 2011, had been serving his sentence in a Florida facility and was set to be released in 2026. But he was placed in home confinement in 2020 because of the pandemic.

So, thus far we have some Chinese child porn watchers exchanged for US spies, the half-brother of a Hamas biggie, a crooked judge who make millions exploiting children, and a banker from Dixon (Reagan's home town, btw) who bilked her town of millions.

Now we have the doctor who diluted chemotherapy meds and billed full rate.

https://themississippilink.com/news/cancer-center-fraud-doctor-sentenced-to-20-years-repay-8-2m/

A federal judge on Friday sentenced a doctor to 20 years in prison and ordered her to repay nearly $8.2 million for fraud at a former Mississippi cancer center she ran. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III said he was “appalled” at how Dr. Meera Sachdeva treated patients at a vulnerable time of their lives.

Syringes were re-used and different patients' chemotherapy drugs were drawn from the same bag at Rose Cancer Center in the small town of Summit, Jordan said. He said prosecutors were unable to prove drugs were watered down, as they originally believed.

“It's a very small thing to send this woman to jail for the next 20 years when you compare it to the damage she has done,” Jordan said from the bench.

And a fentanyl dealer.

Daniel J. Fillerup, age 33, of Albany, was sentenced today to 120 months in prison for selling fentanyl that caused a woman’s death.

The announcement was made by United States Attorney Grant C. Jaquith and James N. Hendricks, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Fentanyl...pfft. Gimme carfentanil.

Investigators said Ken Hechtman and his wife Wendy invented and cooked the drug. They also developed a sophisticated marketing system with a sales team of about 40 people.

"It just popped up here like a light switch. Overnight, all of a sudden it was here," said an Omaha police detective.

There are many more of like stories.

They should do away with Presidential pardons. They're ridiculous, in the same way that the British honours system is ridiculous, except with the Brits they don't let a bunch of criminals out of gaol, they just give them medals.
