Some early catches (H/T-CTH posters) is revealing many are not nice people! And the number is shattering even BHO (MHRIH) levels!
It’s the largest single-day clemency in history previously held by BHO at 330.
Excerpt from X-22 Report –
So, let’s take a closer look at these three recipients in particular.
First, we have Yanjun Xu, convicted in the Southern District of Ohio of 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, and sentenced in November 2022 to 240 months (20 years) imprisonment. (Xu had been confined since April 2018, so has served approximately six years of the sentence.) Xu’s sentence was commuted to time served, and Xu was to depart the United States and not return.
Next, we have Ji Chaoqun, convicted in the Northern District of Illinois of conspiracy to defraud the United States; impersonating agents of foreign governments; statements or entries generally, and sentenced in January 2023 to 96 months (eight years) imprisonment. (Ji had been confined since September 2018, thus also having served six years of the sentence.) Ji’s sentence was commuted to time served and, like Xu, to depart and remain outside of the United States.
Lastly, there is Shanlin Jin, convicted in the Eastern District of Texas of possession of child pornography, and sentenced in July 2022 to 97 months imprisonment, five years supervised release, and restitution. (Jin had been confined since January 2021.) Like the others, Jin’s sentence was commuted to time served and conditioned on his departing and remaining outside the U.S.https://x.com/iFightForKids/status/1867259598052200736https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/12/biden_commutes_sentence_of_man_who_watched_infant_rape_videos_because_he_is_a_ccp_asset.htmlThis POS...

Spies, pedophiles and sundry scum.
There is chatter of much higher-level pardons...
Nevertheless, given the resistance coup d’état that the Deep State has waged against Donald J. Trump since before the first inauguration on January 20, 2017, the fear and loathing among Biden administration top-level operatives to beg for pardons attests to their awareness that the second Trump administration will witness justice administered by a righteous Trump Vindictus [i.e., translated from Latin: Trump’s Revenge]. Those petitioning now for pardons are doing so because they know the crimes they have committed, and they are afraid that with the massive declassification of information that the incoming Trump administration is planning to make public, their guilt will no longer remain hidden.
What Obama fears is that Biden might be persuaded to issue a sweeping set of Deep State pardons to a list that would include various top-level Obama administration officials like former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Attorney General James Comey who potentially could be forced to provide damaging criminal testimony against him.
A presidential pardon does not waive a person’s Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination for future crimes. But a person accepting a pardon (including Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and Hunter Biden, or anyone else so pardoned) can be forced to testify truthfully about the pardoned crimes since they are no longer at risk of prosecution under federal law. Once pardoned, the Fifth Amendment privilege does not apply to giving testimony against others for the pardoned crimes since the pardoned individual no longer needs Fifth Amendment protection from a self-incrimination risk that is no longer relevant.
In other words, just to be clear, please understand that by accepting a pardon, a person has admitted guilt to the pardoned crime, a precedent the Supreme Court established in 1915’s Burdick v. United States. This fact, without any other evidence, gives the DOJ and the FBI a probative cause to start a new investigation by interviewing and interrogating the pardoned person under oath. All a DOJ or FBI official would have to do is to put a piece of paper in front of the pardoned person and ask that person to enumerate all crimes committed, plus requiring the pardoned person to give the names and details of all criminal accomplices involved.

But the idea of granting a long list of Deep State political actors a blanket pardon for all crimes they may have committed, plotted to commit, or contemplated to commit, reaching back to 2009, the year Obama first took office, would stretch the precedent of the Nixon pardon back 15 years, to politically unacceptable levels encompassing all the years of Democrat presidential rule since President George W. Bush. The tranquility Ford sought to preserve by the Nixon pardon is not compatible with the angry, vituperative response a blanket pardon of Obama/Biden operatives may have committed, especially if Hillary and Bill Clinton blanket pardons were to be thrown into the mix.

One constitutional limitation of the presidential pardon authority is that it cannot be used in impeachment cases. So, in the final analysis, the House of Representatives could impeach Biden for “high crimes and misdemeanors” for abusing the pardon authority, forcing him to stand trial in the Senate (possibly even after the second Trump inauguration on January 20, 2025).https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2024/12/obama_floats_pardon_trial_balloon_amid_deep_state_frenzy_to_get_on_the_list.htmlHard decisions coming...and hard times for some folks one way or another...
