    Well that’s a fucking oops by Biden. Most of the clemencies on today’s list were ~1500 nonviolent drug offenders who deserved leniency. How the fuck did Conahan manage to slip in with them?

    Behind the Bastards did a series on this guy. TL;DR the guy deserves a hell of a lot worse than life in prison.

      Don’t call it an oops.

      Biden is not Trump. He reads things before he signs them. For whatever reason, this was intentional.

        1,500 cases is a lot of reading. I don’t think Biden read all of those. He has someone do it for him. While I am not saying this it what happened because I have absolutely no evidence, it’s possible that someone in his administration that setup these commutations slipped the judge in as a favor.

          Yeah, no one person read and looked into to that many people. 100% someone in the Biden administration clerked for the guy or something.

        Don’t call it an oops.

        This was either a massive lapse of bureaucracy, or it was a massive lapse in judgement. Either way, in my opinion it is one of Biden’s biggest mistakes in his entire four years of governance.

    So in 2011 Cohan was sentenced to 17 1/2 years for doing “Kids-for-Cash”, funneling juvenile defendants to two private, for-profit detention centers in exchange for $2.1 million in kickbacks. And now Biden pardons him…

    Blocking adblock I’ve seen and I get… but this shit site blocks incognito. It’s not good enough to directly profit off you anymore, no, now you have to make it easy for them to track you and sell you, too, or no site for you. FFS.

    Wow, I have seen a lot of interviews and media around Conahan’s conviction, and this guy is either the most stone cold child hating person I have ever met heard about, or is somehow completely insane/psychopathic and 100% oblivious to that fact, and I guess his whole family too. What a disgrace to the many, many victims he made.

    What the actual fuck? If anyone deserves the full punishment available it’s this asshole. He totally betrayed the public’s trust and made children needlessly suffer.
