jsiepkes: > Pardons granted by Donald J. Trump (Second Term) Not Including the January 6th PardonsWhy not include the January 6th pardons?
ks2048: Just yesterday, Trump said he's going to “pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval.” [1] Free reign for crimes for the next 2.5 years.Maybe removing this pardoning power could be a bipartisan goal... I guess we shouldn't hold our breath.[1] https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-promises-pardon-ev...
kupadapuku: Love this idea - if I were to extend it, I'd add some kind of analysis breaking down the % composition of pardons (fraud vs drug offences vs financial crime) by President to see if there's some common trend. I was a little surprised to see the Obama number quite so high, until it became apparent that the vast majority were drug offenders being pardoned
vidluther: A bunch of mass commutations have occurred under Obama, Biden, and most recently under Trump, I'm working on a comparison tool, so we can visualize the change in number of pardons by president, further breakdown of composition is an interesting idea as well.
vidluther: That disclaimer is there for now to make it clear that we're not showing that data yet. I need to figure out how to show the mass commutations done by Biden as well.Working on a comparison tool, so we can see # of pardons over admins, it seems the number of pardons has been going up each administration.
koolba: Are there any longer or more generic than this:> For any nonviolent offenses against the United States which they may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1 2014 through the date of this pardon (JAN 19, 2025).https://pardonned.com/pardon/details/biden-family/That’s 11+ years with no detail or description.
vidluther: So this was the first time (i think) anyone got a preemptive pardon, the actual warrant on the DOJ website says what it says.. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/media/1385756/dl?inlineWill have to crunch through the offenses in the db and see if anything else like this shows up.
