As I wrote yesterday, the majority of Biden’s pardons and commutations involved drug dealers, along with some Chinese spies, but hidden within the 1,000-plus giveaway to the criminal community were some more elite criminals.
Like the ‘cash-for-kids’ judge.
President Biden has sparked anger among Pennsylvanians after he commuted the sentence of a corrupt judge who was jailed for more than 17 years after he was caught taking kickbacks for sending juveniles to for-profit detention facilities.
In what came to be known as the kids-for-cash scandal, former Judge Michael Conahan shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and shared $2.8 million in illegal payments from the builder and co-owner of two for-profit lockups.
The scandal is considered Pennsylvania’s largest-ever judicial corruption scheme with the state’s supreme court throwing out some 4,000 juvenile convictions involving more than 2,300 kids after the scheme was uncovered.
The comptroller who embezzled over $53 million to fund her lifestyle and ‘horse-breeding’ business.
President Joe Biden on Thursday commuted the sentences of two of the Chicago area’s most notorious fraudsters: former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell, who embezzled nearly $54 million from the tiny town to fund a lavish lifestyle, and Eric Bloom, the onetime leader of a Northbrook management firm who defrauded investors of more than $665 million.
Another in Albany.
President Joe Biden on Thursday issued a commutation for former Albany investment broker Timothy M. McGinn, who was convicted along with David L. Smith more than a decade ago of defrauding hundreds of clients in a massive scheme that had wiped out the life savings for many of their victims.
Two others whose sentences were commuted this week were, like McGinn, serving prison terms for financial fraud.
They include Christopher Swartz, a 54-year-old former Watertown food and restaurant entrepreneur who was sentenced in 2017 to 150 months in federal prison for committing tax evasion and defrauding lenders and investors of more then $19 million.
And a fellow party scumbag.
It was July 2008 when the FBI stunned Cuyahoga County, raiding government buildings and businesses across the area.
Month after month, the investigation into county government snowballed as nearly 60 politicians, government officials and contractors were convicted after the investigation by the FBI and IRS.
The scandal gave rise to a reform county government, as voters overwhelmingly approved replacing three commissioners and a host of independently elected offices with a county executive and council.
Longtime county commissioner and county Democratic Party chairman Jimmy Dimora was sentenced to 28 years in prison. 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. But he was released in 2023 because of COVID-19 and on Thursday, President Joe Biden commuted his sentence.
Even this brief roundup suggests Biden pardoned financial criminals who stole nearly $80 million.

I’m willing to bet that a lot of these crazy pardons are the result of Biden’s staffers doing things that Biden himself isn’t aware of, and I’m not sure how much Kamala is involved in this.
Thomas E. Warwick says
Was the Biden Crime Family paid to provide the pardons? How much? You know these pardons weren’t free.
DetroitOtaku says
Good point on that one. Probably some CCP funds involved too.
CowboyUp says
Financial criminals, pedos, all the people you would expect biden’s puppet masters to pardon or commute.
Larry says
By Democrap standards those are all victimless crimes.
Spurwing Plover says
Its a good thing that Charles Mabson and Ira Einhorn(Unicorn Killer)are dead because Biden the Blunder would grant them Pardons

As long as “The Big Guy” collects his 10%, it’s all good.

This is definitely the time of lawlessness. Can we ever get back to law and order and good governance. Hopefully on January 20, 2025.
MuggsSpongedice says
Of course quid-pro-joe briben will not see financial crimes as just – the dude is head of an enterprise – or just a willing stooge puppet whore who has made a fortune on financial crimes! Treason. If Joe Biden isn’t prosecuted with his family, there is no justice left in USA!
BLSinSC says
Given Joe’s mental INcapacity, are any of these pardons even LEGAL? You’re SUPPOSED to be mentally competent to sign Legal Documents. I would expect that Pardons are included in “Legal Documents”!

Biden has doe more damage to the Judaical system than any other individual one can think. When running in the 2024 Presidential race, he constantly spoke of Trump being a felon, while touting his humble Catholic faith. How pious, and sanctimonious .
Now he goes about pardoning some of the most devious, thieving cooks of all time. They did not stop at thousands, they went on to steal millions, of dollars.
Children were pawns in some of their diabolical schemes for money, how shameful.
Let’s not forget the Chinese spy he pardoned, what about “protect and defend” our country??Ooooooops, he forget that one as Commander in Chief. God help America from this man and his legions, and thank God his term is almost over.
Oh, yes there is the matter of the “fence selling ” deal to prevent incoming President Trump from using it to protect and defend against invading illegal aliens who do not want to use the Judaical system to legally enter the United States.
