New reporting from the New York Times on Prez Biden’s out-going clemency actions

The New York Times has two notable new articles covering the controversies surrounding former Prez Biden’s late-term clemencies and  compentencies.  Here are the pieces:

“Biden Says He Made the Clemency Decisions That Were Recorded With Autopen“

“Excerpts From The Times’s Interview With Biden on Clemency Decisions“

The first of these articles is quite lengthy and seems to have some original reporting, the second includes some notable quotes from former Prez Biden.  But I do not see much in either article that seems likely to defuse the partisan sparring over all the late clemency grants.
