My colleague Mary Chastain has already told you about some of the worst of Joe Biden’s many awful pardons, but there are more and they are just as bad.It’s amazing how the media is ignoring this and treating it as normal. It’s not normal and we all know how they would howl if these were Trump pardons.Chuck Ross and Joseph Simonson of the Washington Free Beacon recently profiled a few of them:
There is Daniel Fillerup, sentenced to 10 years in prison for selling fentanyl that killed an Albany woman, and Shelinder Aggarwal, an Alabama “pill mill” doctor who the Department of Justice said “directly contributed to the opioid epidemic.” And Biden commuted the 17.5-year prison sentence of former Luzerne County, Pa., judge Michael Conahan, who took $2.1 million in kickbacks from a for-profit prison executive in exchange for sentencing juveniles to those facilities…Joseph Shereshevsky received clemency for his role in a $255 million real estate Ponzi scheme that authorities said was targeted at Orthodox Jews. He was sentenced to just under 22 years in prison in 2011.He was not the only financial criminal whom Biden granted mercy. Paul Burks, sentenced to more than 14 years in prison in 2017 for operating a $900 million internet Ponzi scheme, is now free…Also receiving clemency: Meera Sachdeva, a Mississippi doctor sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2012 for defrauding Medicare by providing diluted chemotherapy drugs and old needles to cancer patients. One patient of Sachdeva’s clinic claimed to have contracted HIV because of old needles.
I think there’s actually an episode of Law & Order Criminal Intent that’s based on that last one.
Jim Geraghty of National Review profiled others:
Biden commuted the sentence for convicted fraudster and former Jreck Subs principal Christopher M. Swartz, who was sentenced to twelve and a half years in prison for fraud and tax evasion, and will serve only seven years. From his sentencing:
“For over a decade, Mr. Swartz stole millions from lenders, investors, and the United States, using multiple schemes, shell companies and layers of transactions in an effort to escape detection,” said Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Goldberg. “His 12 ½ year sentence sends the clear message to those involved in such financial chicanery that their schemes — no matter how complex — will be uncovered, investigated and successfully prosecuted.”“Christopher Swartz stole millions of dollars from investors and lenders and cheated the public treasury out of millions of dollars of taxes,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Jaquith. “His elaborate scheme to defraud relied on a mind-boggling web of accounts and enterprises and concealment of his assets and diversions of funds. Swartz inflicted terrible harm on people who trusted him with money they needed to support their families, educate their children, pay for medical care, and retire. This case sends a strong message that such treachery will not be tolerated.”
Brianna Lyman of The Federalist notes that there were also some spies from China who were on the list:
Biden Quietly Commuted Sentences Of Chinese SpiesPresident Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he was granting 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations in what his administation called the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.” But it’s not Thursday’s set of commutations that have caught the attention of concerned Americans — it’s those that were quietly given weeks ago to Chinese spies.X user Nick Sortor posted that “Joe Biden just pardoned multiple Chinese spies and an individual convicted of possessing child p*rnography. WHY?”But the thing is, Biden didn’t “just” commute the sentences for these criminals — he did it quietly only days before Thanksgiving.While most Americans were finalizing their menus and getting into the holiday spirit, Biden commuted the sentence of Yanjun Xu on November 22. Xu was convicted in 2022 for “conspiracy to commit economic espionage; conspiracy to commit trade secret theft; attempted economic espionage by theft or fraud; attempted theft of trade secrets by taking or deception.”
When Trump starts pardoning the J6 folks, and he will, the media is going to set its hair on fire despite remaining silent on the pardons described here. They should be ignored, or mocked. Biden’s pardons are a ‘who’s who’ of horrible people.
