In my neck of the woods woman that got caught selling fentanyl got the pardon. She did some time then was confined to her home for the rest of her term. Idk, she does a lot of drug advocacy now and seems reformed so doesn't seem like an egregious pardon.
To me this is a much more inexcusable example. Giving clemency to a guy with thousands of pics of child porn? Good one Joe!

President Biden pardoned two Chinese spies and the relative of a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party who was caught with tens of thousands of images of child pornography on his computer last month in a prisoner swap between the two countries that was made public Thursday when the three received clemencies.
Yanjun Xu and Ji Chaoqun, who were both convicted of espionage, were granted clemency last month, along with Shanlin Jin, who was convicted of possession of more than 47,000 images of child pornography while a doctoral student at Southern Methodist University in Dallas in 2021.
Their clemencies, signed by President Biden, are dated Nov. 22
