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.

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.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), infamous for lying about serving in Vietnam, responded, "Someone dropped the ball." Well, I've got a pretty good idea of who did, senator. Who signed those pardons? That would be Joseph Robinette Biden. That makes him responsible. 

Yet, I'm noticing a distinct lack of outrage from various Democrats and their press allies. Keep in mind, these are the same people who are still obsessing over the January 6th pardons. Here's Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) doing that song and dance just a few days ago. 

Guess how many posts Kelly has made about Biden pardoning Peeler? On that note, the former president also pardoned a man who murdered two FBI agents. How many posts do you think Kelly made about that? 

The answer is zero. 

As to the national press, figures like Jim Acosta and Jake Tapper, who haven't been able to quell their hysteria over the January 6th pardons, have not bothered to mention (as of this writing) Biden pardoning a drug kingpin who murdered a child and his mother to protect his drug ring.

To illustrate that, I created some helpful comparisons.

Returning to Biden's culpability, isn't it a pretty big scandal that the only excuse one can come up with is that the then-president was so mentally incompetent that he didn't even know what he was signing? I get that the guy is out of office and there's a desire to look toward the future, but I think Republicans can't let this stuff lie. If they do, it just incentivizes more bad behavior from Democrats. 

We need to know who drew up these pardons, who vetted the list of names, and why Adrian Peeler was included. Was it truly an "accident?" Or was this another act of "social justice" by one of the former president's handlers? Biden's mental incapacity remains the biggest scandal in presidential history. Every person involved in the cover-up needs to be exposed. Letting bygones by bygones isn't an option.
