Biden commutes 1,500 sentences in biggest single-day act of clemency
- jfengel 2y agoI hope there are a lot more to come. The system is so awful that I'd be in favor of pardoning pretty much anybody who seems likely not to re-offend. But I hope he doesn't pre-pardon the Trump investigators. Or perhaps, that he makes the offer, and allows them to refuse it. If Trump is going to be vindictive and corrupt, we should all see it. They shouldn't have to be martyrs for it, but at least they'll be visible in it. There are certain to be many more who won't be as visible, and the corruption unchecked.
