Reading the article, some facts seem relevant:
The judge has served 13 yrs of a 17.5 yr sentence; he was on home confinement before Biden took office; and he would have received a lesser sentence if charged under today's laws and policies.
All those pardoned meet criteria set forth in a WH stmt.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
