About this listen

 Joe Biden built his career on championing fairness, but his presidential pardons tell a conflicting story. This book unpacks the stark divide between Biden’s lofty rhetoric of equity and his clemency choices—from commuting sentences for nonviolent offenders (a win for justice reform) to shielding his son Hunter from tax fraud charges and other family members from scrutiny. With sharp wit and unflinching analysis, it asks: Does Biden’s pen prioritize mercy for the marginalized, or protection for the powerful?

The book dissects how presidential pardons expose the gap between ideals and self-interest. Why commend drug war commutations while quietly pardoning inner-circle figures? How does Biden's "compassion" stack against predecessors like Trump or Obama? This book challenges the readers to rethink clemency — not as a legal footnote, but as a mirror reflecting who truly benefits from “justice.” Politics & Government
