Quite notoriously and infamously, the former President of the United States Joe Biden issued more presidential clemency grants than any other president in the history of the country.
A so-called "presidential clemency grant" is either a so-called "reprieve" (which is a delay in carrying out a sentence), a "commutation" (which is a reduction of a sentence), or a full-on "pardon" (which is the complete annulment of a sentence).
The top 5 so far, as of writing this, are:
Donald Trump, during his first term in office, granted 238 of them.
Ronald Reagan granted 406.
Bill Clinton granted 457.
Barack Obama granted 1927.
Joe Biden granted 4245, setting an all-time record, by a huge margin.
What's particularly notable and telling is that about 2500 of them were granted and signed during Biden's last three days in office.
That's more clemencies granted in three days than any other president has ever granted in their entire terms in office (including those who served two terms).
That's right. That's over 830 clemency grants signed per day. Even if we assumed he was at work an excruciating 16 hours every day (which is completely and absolutely unrealistic), that would still mean about 52 signings per hour, in other words, about one per minute, for 16 hours straight.
If we make a more realistic estimation, particularly of a man of his age and deteriorating mental condition, and say that he was at his office 12 hours per day for those last three days, that would be about 70 clemency grants signed per hour, with less than a minute per document, for 12 hours non-stop, for three consecutive days.
Does anybody in their right mind think that a man of his age and cognitive capabilities could sit at his office for 12 hours (or even more) every single day, for three days, constantly reading through and accepting such documents, one per minute, non-stop, for 12+ hours straight, for three days?
It's an acknowledged fact that he didn't sign the documents by hand. They were signed with a so-called "auto-pen", which is a machine that moves a physical pen to replicate someone's signature. This is not illegal and is considered valid as long as the president does so willingly and knowingly.
However, who in their right mind seriously believes that Biden went through all of the 2500 individual documents, read them, considered them, and made an individual decision with each one of them to accept them?
It's very, very clear that his staff made all the decisions, signed all the papers with the auto-pen machine, and just shoved them to Biden, who was in a very deteriorated mental state, for "approval", and it's extremely likely, pretty much certain, that Biden didn't even read almost any of those documents, perhaps not even a single one. He had absolutely no idea who was being granted these commutations and pardons, except maybe in just a few cases of the most notable people (such as Fauci.)
There's no way in hell that he was aware of all the 2500 people and their particular cases and situations, and knowingly made a decision individually, on a case-by-case basis. It's extremely clear that other people made the choices, and he was likely not even aware (nor even interested) in the vast, vast majority of them, and just accepted entire stacks of papers at once without even reading them.
The amount of corruption here is just astonishing.
And then the left claims that Trump is corrupted. They are being absolutely delusional.
