James Comer has posed a question: Unless Biden can prove he is mentally fit, and that he actually took part in the decision-making here, are these pardons legally binding?
So Biden pardoned a child-murdering drug dealer. So much Social Justice.
The ACLU demanded this pardon, and the Braindead Husk said "Okay" in exchange for some Parkinson's-soothing ice cream.
Joe Biden left the White House a week ago, but the scandal surrounding his mental health is only deepening.
On his way out the door, the former president signed a series of pardons at the ACLU's request. Billed as applying to "non-violent drug offenders" (which is an insanely broad generalization), they ended up including a drug lord who murdered an eight-year-old boy and his mother to stop them from testifying. Adrian Peeler is now set to be released in July.
Even pro-terrorist, pro-criminal propaganda outlet AP understands that this is bad.
Relatives of an 8-year-old boy and his mother who were murdered by a Connecticut drug gang are outraged that a man convicted in the killings was one of nearly 2,500 people whose drug-related prison sentences were commuted by former President Joe Biden in his last days in office.
Adrian Peeler served a 20-year state prison sentence for murder conspiracy in the 1999 shootings of Leroy "B.J." Brown and his mother, Karen Clarke, in Bridgeport -- killings that shocked the city and led to improvements in state witness protection. Prosecutors said Brown and his mother were assassinated to prevent the child from testifying in another murder case.
In December 2021, Peeler finished his state sentence but began serving a 15-year term in federal prison for dealing large amounts of crack cocaine.
The federal sentence would have kept him behind bars until 2033. He is now set to be released in July.
Great.
The media jumped to cover the pardons.
I mean Trump's pardons, obviously.
Flagship newscasts on ABC, CBS and NBC spent over 46 minutes covering President Donald Trump pardoning Jan. 6 defendants but barely found time to mention former President Joe Biden issuing preemptive pardons for his family, according to a new study.
During the final hours of his administration last week, Biden issued preemptive pardons for relatives James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden. That same day, Trump signed off on pardoning more than 1,500 charged with crimes stemming from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol, shortly after retaking office.
The Media Research Center analyzed flagship morning and evening newscasts on ABC, CBS, and NBC from Inauguration Day on January 20 through the morning of Jan. 22 to determine how the pardons were covered. While the pair of orders occurred on the same day, coverage was not exactly balanced.

The conservative media watchdog found that ABC, CBS, and NBC spent 46 minutes and 32 seconds on the Trump pardons, compared to only three minutes and 32 seconds on Biden's preemptive pardons.
ABC's "Good Morning America" and "World News Tonight" spent 15 minutes and 30 seconds on the Trump pardons compared to a brief 34 seconds on Biden.
"CBS Mornings" and "CBS Evening News" devoted 16 minutes and 32 seconds to Trump's pardons compared to only 64 seconds on pardons handed out by Biden, while NBC's "Today" and "Nightly News" spent 14 minutes and 30 seconds on Trump and less than two minutes on Biden.
