Van Jones: Biden Has Used Pardon More Sparingly for People Who Are Not His Son than You’d Expect from a Dem President

‘At some point, this stuff just becomes very human’

EXCERPT:

JONES: “My criticism of President Biden is different. He's used the power of the pardon more sparingly, for people who are not his son than you would expect from a Democratic president. There have been a -- there's been a lot of frustration in the criminal justice community that a lot more people could use that kind of relief. In this case, look, he's an elderly guy. He's got to sense there are a lot of trouble. If he wants to do himself a solid, on the way out the door, I'll let other people scream about that. But what about everybody else, who's sitting there with actual miscarriages of justice, who've had no relief in the Biden administration? That's a bigger problem to me.”
