As Sam posted earlier today, President Biden (and whoever makes the actual decisions in the White House) commuted the sentences of all but three people on federal death row.
Three death row inmates were not spared, which makes me wonder what they might have on the Biden family.

The three people whose death sentences were not commuted are in for more high-profile horrific crimes so politics was definitely at play here:
The three people on the federal execution list who were not on Biden's commutation list are Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing; Robert Bowers, who was convicted of the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue antisemitic attack; and Dylann Roof, who killed nine Black churchgoers in a racially motivated shooting in South Carolina.
Below is the White House's statement, and of course this partly has something to do with giving mercy to killers and pedophiles so Trump can't let their executions move forward:
Today, President Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row. Those individuals will have their sentences reclassified from execution to life without the possibility of parole.
President Biden has dedicated his career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system. He believes that America must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level, except in cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder – which is why today’s actions apply to all but those cases. When President Biden came into office, his Administration imposed a moratorium on federal executions, and his actions today will prevent the next Administration from carrying out the execution sentences that would not be handed down under current policy and practice.
This historic clemency action builds on the President’s record of criminal justice reform. The President has issued more commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms. Earlier this month, the President announced clemency for approximately 1,500 Americans – the most ever in a single day – who have shown successful rehabilitation and a commitment to making communities safer. This included sentence commutations for nearly 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities, as well as 39 pardons for individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. President Biden is also the first President ever to issue categorical pardons to individuals convicted of simple use and possession of marijuana, and to former LGBTQI+ service members convicted of private conduct because of their sexual orientation.
The President’s criminal justice record has transformed individual lives and positively impacted communities, especially historically marginalized communities. In the coming weeks, the President will take additional steps to provide meaningful second chances and continue to review additional pardons and commutations.
Biden still has more than three weeks in office so at this point I'm expecting him to pretty much open up all the prisons on his way out the door.
@AGHamilton29 took a closer look at some of the kinds of people who the Biden White House thought deserved Joe's special brand of "mercy" as he leaves office:

Model citizens all.
This is all taking place just after the Democrats in NYC tried to throw Good Samaritan Daniel Penny in prison. Fortunately they did not succeed, but the Left's "priorities" on these matters have been obvious for a long time.
When it comes to super-Catholic President Biden's big respect for the sanctity of life, that ends at showing mercy to criminals who committed horrible acts. The unborn have been shown no such mercy by Biden or his pals.
Biden commutes death sentences for federal inmates convicted of hideous crimes, and gives awards to people who facilitate handing out death sentences to the unborn:

Biden sure does have a doozy of a "conscience."
In addition to the open borders, a botched and incompetent foreign policy along with kneecapping the economy, Biden's "priorities" when it comes to his selective sanctity of life will be another one of the most disgusting legacies of what might be the worst presidency in the nation's history.
