Joe Biden commuted the sentence of Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier, but no pardon.
whitehouse errors 404 for me, so can’t copy it
The one actual harm reduced by Biden
Fucking half measures like always but thank God Leonard can finally go home
About time, great news!
Why the fuck is Scahill still on X
these pleases me as a proud Leonard Peltier voter
Kind of amazing they are still clinging to the idea that he did that shit with quite literally no evidence, I’m glad he did something at least, I heard Deb Holland spoke to him directly about this throughout his term, so if she couldn’t convince him no one could, I also heard Leonard has diabetes and a few other health problems and wasn’t getting proper medical treatment so I hope he gets that at least, even though he is still not free in home confinement.
Natalie Bara, the president of the FBI Agents Association, which advocates for active and retired agents, said it is “outraged” by Biden’s reprieve for Peltier.
“This last-second, disgraceful act by then-President Biden, which does not change Peltier’s guilt but does release him from prison, is cowardly and lacks accountability,” Bara said in a statement. “It is a cruel betrayal to the families and colleagues of these fallen Agents and is a slap in the face of law enforcement.”
Get fucked Natalie and by association all other feds.
