    I still don’t buy it. The crime the subject wanted to be pardoned from somehow wasn’t part of the review for a pardon? Neither Biden nor any of his paid staff (either government or personal/party) had 2 minutes to review each pardon? Nah

      Sure. My comment was not to excuse this, but to explain the slow and fucked results the public receives. Without a professional staff, graft will be effective.
