A Disregard for the Principles of Accountability, Justice, and the Rule of Law.
The Evilness of the Biden administration
President Joe Biden’s extensive use of his pardon power in December 2024, including 39 pardons, nearly 1,500 commutations, and the controversial removal of federal death sentences, has sparked widespread criticism. While the administration framed these actions as a move toward criminal justice reform and equity, detractors argue that they reflect a

disregard for the principles of accountability, justice, and the rule of law. By exercising executive clemency in such sweeping and contentious ways, critics claim Biden has undermined the balance of powers and eroded public trust in government institutions, especially for the families of the victims involved in these crimes.
It is questionable if Biden, the traitor president even knew about these commutations and pardons. Revelations of puppet government accusations by the Wall Street Journal state that Biden was mentally incapacitated for all four years of his presidency thus he also was a pathological liar to the American people.
The pardon of Biden’s son, Hunter, for charges related to tax violations and firearm possession has been widely condemned as nepotistic and self-serving. Many view it as a clear conflict of interest, undermining the impartiality of the justice system and raising ethical concerns about presidential power. The infamous laptop was clear evidence of corruption and implicated the president himself in peddling his name for cash.
Biden pardoned numerous individuals convicted of nonviolent drug crimes, arguing these sentences were outdated and disproportionately harsh. Critics, however, contend that many of these individuals had ties to broader criminal enterprises, and blanket clemency fails to consider the Distinctions of each case.
Perhaps most controversial was Biden’s decision to commute nearly all federal death row sentences to life imprisonment without parole. While this aligns with his long-standing opposition to capital punishment, it disregarded the legal processes that had sentenced these individuals and discounted the wishes of victims' families. High-profile cases include: Ronell Wilson: Convicted for the execution-style murder of two NYPD detectives. James H. Roane Jr. and Richard Tipton: Key members of a violent drug gang responsible for multiple homicides. Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez: Found guilty of murdering an entire family, including young children, to protect drug operations.
Here are the names of the inmates whose death sentences were commuted by President Joe Biden, along with details of their crimes:
Shannon Wayne Agofsky: Convicted of premeditated murder of a fellow inmate.
Luther Plant, while serving a life sentence for the kidnapping and murder of Dan Short during a bank robbery.
Billie Allen: Involved in an armed bank robbery where a security guard was killed. Allen claimed he did not fire the fatal shot.
Jorge Avila-Torrez: Convicted for the kidnapping, rape, and murder of two women, Joanna Lopez and Hanna Trujillo, in California.
Carlos Caro: Convicted for the murder of his wife, Lydia, and their unborn child, as well as the murder of his daughter, Barbara, in Texas.

These details reflect the crimes for which these individuals were convicted and sentenced to death before their sentences were commuted.
John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center and former chief economist for the U.S. Sentencing Commission, expressed skepticism regarding the criteria employed in selecting which death row inmates received commutations. He observed that the rationale behind sparing 37 inmates while excluding three others convicted of heinous crimes remains opaque, raising questions about the consistency and transparency of the decision-making process.
Conversely, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), a prominent advocate for criminal justice reform, lauded the commutations as a "historic act of compassion," emphasizing that the death penalty is "racist" and disproportionately affects Black and brown communities. She stated, "This is a victory for our collective humanity and a significant step toward dismantling a system that devalues Black and brown lives." She doesn’t understand that most criminals in jails are people of color.
Biden’s commutations extended to individuals convicted of financial crimes and corruption, such as Michael Conahan, a former judge involved in the “Kids for Cash” scandal. Critics argue such clemency rewards those who exploited vulnerable populations. Biden and his corrupt staffers wouldn’t care anyway for child protections. His border policies and his complete disregard for immigration law enforcement, as head of the Executive branch of government, exemplifies how cruel this administration is.
The erosion of justice and accountability stands at the height of this latest Biden fiasco. By overturning or forgiving legally adjudicated sentences, Biden’s pardons undermine the justice system’s authority and weakens the principle that actions have consequences. Commuting death sentences without individual reviews sends a message that judicial decisions can be easily discarded for political or ideological reasons. This is a detrimental action by this so called president. It also oversteps the Judicial branch of government which is supposed to bring justice for victims and their scarred families.
The pardon of Hunter Biden has fueled accusations of corruption and preferential treatment, damaging public trust in the presidency. Experts argue that this decision exemplifies an abuse of power and sets a dangerous precedent for future administrations.
Many of Biden’s actions, such as the death penalty commutations, bypassed Congress, raising concerns about executive overreach. Critics and legal experts argue that such sweeping decisions should involve broader legislative debate and democratic input.
Victims’ families and law enforcement officials have decried Biden’s actions as dismissive of their suffering and the risks posed by releasing or altering the sentences of convicted individuals. Commuting the sentences of those involved in violent crimes undermines the retributive and deterrent functions of the criminal justice system.
Biden’s use of clemency has deepened divisions, with opponents arguing that these decisions were driven more by political considerations than genuine concern for justice. The Hunter Biden pardon, in particular, has become a lightning rod for accusations of partisan favoritism and polarization.
Biden’s clemency decisions represent one of the most expansive uses of presidential pardon power in modern history. Critics argue that his actions challenge the balance of power outlined in the Constitution, as the Founders intended clemency to be used sparingly and with great caution. By employing it to advance ideological goals and shield personal connections, Biden risks weakening this foundational mechanism.
While Biden’s supporters view his clemency actions as compassionate and reformative, detractors see them as a betrayal of justice and public trust. By prioritizing ideological objectives and personal interests, Biden’s pardons raise serious questions about the proper use of executive power in a constitutional republic. These actions, critics argue, threaten to erode the very principles of accountability, fairness, and impartiality that underpin American democracy.
