Victims of Crimes of Those Granted Clemency Furious With Biden
These people ruined the lives of so many, including children.
President Joe Biden made history on Thursday with the largest act of clemency by granting it to almost 1,500 people.
“Today, President Biden announced that he is granting clemency to nearly 1,500 Americans – the most ever in a single day – who have shown successful rehabilitation and a strong commitment to making their communities safer,” announced the White House. “The President is commuting the sentences of close to 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities.”
Biden also pardoned 39 people convicted of non-violent crimes.
“He is also the first President ever to issue categorical pardons to individuals convicted of simple use and possession of marijuana, and to former LGBTQI+ service members convicted of private conduct because of their sexual orientation,” the White House continued.
So, clemency is a broad legal term. It includes “pardons, commutation of sentence, reprieve, or remission of fines and forfeitures.”
Well, Biden’s clemency for these people has infuriated the victims. These aren’t victimless crimes. These people ruined so many lives.
Former Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Conahan
Conahan is one of many judges brought to justice in the Kids-for-Cash scandal in Pennsylvania.
They received $2.1 million in kickbacks for sending juveniles to two private, for-profit detention centers:
Conahan pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges and was sentenced in 2011 to 17½ years in prison. However, he petitioned the courts for a “compassionate release” during the COVID-19 pandemic, writing that he was “in grave danger of not only contracting the virus, but of dying from the virus.”
He was released to home confinement in Florida under federal supervision in June 2020.
Sandy Fonzo’s son is one of the victims of the crime. She’s mad:
“I am shocked and I am hurt,” Fonzo said in a statement. “Conahan‘s actions destroyed families, including mine, and my son‘s death is a tragic reminder of the consequences of his abuse of power. This pardon feels like an injustice for all of us who still suffer. Right now I am processing and doing the best I can to cope with the pain that this has brought back.”
There are so many heartbreaking stories of kids whose lives were ruined by this judge.
One example of many:
Edward Kenzakoski, who was 17 at the time and an all-star wrestler, got charged with a minor drug paraphernalia offense.
He didn’t have any prior criminal record.… https://t.co/SM8qDtlzvW pic.twitter.com/hrUzlkJGmj

IL Comptroller Rita Crundwell
Dixon, IL, comptroller Rita Crundwell pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in 2012.
She stole $53 million from the small town since 1990 “to fund a lavish lifestyle, including a world champion horse breeding business.”
The court sentenced her to 19 years. Crundwell had to serve 85% of her sentence, which would have been October 20, 2029.
However, she left jail on August 4, 2021, and placed on home confinement.
“Now, today I anticipate she’s dancing in the streets of Dixon with her commutation, because she just also conned the President of the United States,” said former U.S. Marshal Jason Wojdylo. “This official act undid decades of work.”
Wojdylo spent four years tracking down Crundwell’s assets, and took CBS News Chicago on a tour of her Florida vacation home before her items—including the custom-made furniture at the Florida property and Crundwell’s 405 horses—were sold at auction, bringing in $10.5 million.
“Just the overwhelming nature of her crime made it near impossible for her to account for everything that she had had bought with the stolen funds,” Wojdylo said.
From Dixon City Manager Danny Langlossa:
“The City of Dixon is shocked and outraged with the announcement that President Biden has given Rita Crundwell clemency for the largest municipal embezzlement in the history of our country. This is a complete travesty of justice and a slap in the face for our entire community.
“While today’s news in unimaginable, the City of Dixon is in an incredible place today. We will continue to focus on the future and work to capitalize on the momentum we have created.”
Former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora
Former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora landed in prison due to his involvement “in a massive pay-to-play scheme” in Ohio.
The FBI and IRS investigated and almost “60 politicians, government officials and contractors” were convicted of granting contracts “in exchange for money, trips, gifts and favors.” Wow:
Prosecutors said Dimora made about $450,000 off bribes, including trips to Las Vegas, prostitutes and an infamous outdoor stone-fired pizza oven installed in the backyard of his Independence home.
Dimora was initially sentenced in 2012 to 28 years in what was, at the time, one of the Ohio’s most expansive corruption cases in history.
That sentence in 2022 was cut to 25 years in prison after a U.S. Supreme Court decision in a different case that clarified the definition of what constitutes a bribe under federal law.
Dimora has been on home confinement since 2023. It should have ended in 2030.
Former CEO of Sentinel Management Group Eric Bloom
In 2014, a court convicted Former CEO of Sentinel Management Group Eric Bloom, a company based in Northbrook, IL, of wire fraud and one count of investment adviser fraud for defrauding “hundreds of customers of more than $665 million.” Awful:
Prosecutors alleged that as head of Sentinel, Bloom secretly began exposing his well-heeled customers to an increasingly risky mix of leveraged deals in 2003, leading to the company’s collapse four years later.
According to the charges, Bloom and Charles Mosley, Sentinel’s head trader, pledged hundreds of millions of dollars worth of client funds as collateral for a multimillion-dollar bank loan. The money from the loan was then used to buy high-risk securities for a “house” trading portfolio that benefited Sentinel’s officers, including Mosley, Bloom and Bloom’s father, Philip, who founded the company in the 1970s but was not charged with wrongdoing.
Prosecutors said the younger Bloom and Mosley never told clients how much risk they were being exposed to and used false account statements to lull them into pouring more money into Sentinel. As the heavily leveraged trading strategy went awry amid the global mortgage crisis, emails and phone calls showed a jittery Bloom growing increasingly desperate, they said.
Bloom received a 14-year prison sentence. The Chicago Tribune reported that Bloom “has been serving out his sentence at a residential reentry facility in Florida.”
His sentence should have ended in May 2026.

Biden favors pedos and fraudsters? Where have I heard this before?
Which one is one of the pedoes?
The one in the Bunny suit.
Shanlin Jin, reported to be a Chinese national in possession of over a thousand child pornography items, including a video of infant rape. He wasn’t pardoned, but his sentence was commuted.
Hunter had similar material on his laptop.
Thank you. They deserve the wood chipper.
He prefers his own kind
Professional courtesy from one criminal to others.
Seriously, since I began making the mental substitution that the Democratic Party is the US party explicitly dedicated to representing the continued business interests of the criminal class, our politics makes so much more sense to me.
Might it be interesting to know the voting records of the judges of those released???? Trust has been and is continuing to be thrown away – and innocents pay.
Watch whom you vote for, from now on – down to dog catcher. Hopefully Trump and Bondi can clear out disturbing judges who make $$$ on victims’ backs.
Unbelievable what alot of these people did and got away with it while the rest of us live within the laws and within reason.
Check out the video called “All of the Queen’s Horses”. It details how Rita Crundwell screwed over a small town for years.
Hope to God she suffered massive forfeiture penalties when she was sentenced.
For some reason I can’t explain, the phrase “10% for the Big Guy” seems to be playing in the background.
He’s letting Hunter sell the border wall parts to the highest bidder for which he will be pardoned if any hanky panky is involved.
If you look closely, all fedguv PR photos of the last four years have that phrase hidden in a watermark or some similar fashion… like Al Hirschfeld’s “Nina,” Dan Piraro’s pie and UFO, Georgia O’Keefe’s vajayjay, or Stonetoss’s amogus.
All crimes are ‘victimless’ when committed by Democrats.
I don’t understand the reasoning behind giving these criminals commutations when they already got a huge “gift” by being allowed to serve out their time at home versus in a prison.
Ankle bracelets give them such a rash.
It’s time we all agree to the obvious: These vile, venal leftists ENJOY HURTING US.
Open borders. Human trafficking. Violent drug gangs. Santuary cities. Rape gangs. Soros DAs. Men invading women spaces. Unprosecuted crimes. Weaponized injustice. Revolving door prisons. Poop maps. Homeless squalor, unrelenting crime driving out business…
You get the idea. These vile, venal leftists ENJOY HURTING US. They are sadists, degenerate people. They ENJOY it. And those who keep electing them are the problem. We cannot share a country with them. They must be destroyed, eliminated with extreme prejudice (politically speaking, of course)
That is all. Carry on.
Some of it, surely. The rest of it is about the profit. Thieves break into your property, business, bank accounts, data stores, so they can steal the fruits of your hard work to enrich their own lives. The Democrats are just the gang that specializes doing it to towns, cities, and countries instead of bodegas, McMansions, and Apple Stores.
“and to former LGBTQI+ service members convicted of private conduct because of their sexual orientation,”
What the heck does that mean? No one goes to prison for consensual adult conduct. And no one pardons adult rapists, so this must mean commuting pedos. What a great legacy, China Joe*
Charity begins at home.
Just waiting for the media to talk about what a good and kind man Biden is so we can flatten them with these ridiculous pardons and commutations–there is no excuse for this, and he cares not one bit for the damage these criminals have caused or gives one hoot about the victims–the inauguration date can’t come fast enough–I only wonder what other damage he’s going to unleash before he goes
I hope the people outraged by these pardons and commutations remember them when they vote next.
Here’s what they’ve learned.
Lets be blunt
Joe Biden did not do this the Democratic Party did. Joe Biden is a senile old man who does not know where he is or what the year is.
He knows when to eat and drink, but when it comes to going to the toilet, he sometimes has accidents
Was Captain Luggage in this group? I agree with Danny. Brandon has been the “Uncle Junior” of the democratic party for the last 4 years. Has no power but is there to take the blame since it is his signature on the documents even if he doesn’t remember signing them.
