    Don’t call it an oops.

    Biden is not Trump. He reads things before he signs them. For whatever reason, this was intentional.

      1,500 cases is a lot of reading. I don’t think Biden read all of those. He has someone do it for him. While I am not saying this it what happened because I have absolutely no evidence, it’s possible that someone in his administration that setup these commutations slipped the judge in as a favor.

        Yeah, no one person read and looked into to that many people. 100% someone in the Biden administration clerked for the guy or something.

      Don’t call it an oops.

      This was either a massive lapse of bureaucracy, or it was a massive lapse in judgement. Either way, in my opinion it is one of Biden’s biggest mistakes in his entire four years of governance.
