Out-going Prez Biden uses final hours and minutes to grant a lot more notable clemencies

Given his many notable clemency actions before his last day in office, I had a feeling out-going Prez Joe Biden was going to keep using his clemency pen up to the very last monment.  These various stories about various grants today report on all the last-minute action (via The Hill):

Biden pardons Fauci, Milley, Jan. 6 committee ahead of Trump inauguration

Biden commutes sentence of Native American activist Leonard Peltier

Biden pardons family members in final minutes of presidency

Though many others are sure to attach many different adjectives to (now former) Prez Biden’s clemency record, I will for now stick with the label “historic.”
