Summary

A thread alleging that Biden's Pardon Attorney Liz Oyer recommended commuting sentences for 40 federal death row inmates including notorious terrorists and murderers, with the Biden administration ultimately approving 37 commutations just before Christmas without adequately notifying victims' families.

Summarized by ThreadOut AI from the full thread. May miss nuance — read the thread below.

  1. #1

    Biden's Pardon Attorney recommended commuting the sentences of Dylann Roof, the Tree of Life Synagogue Murderer, and the Boston Marathon Bomber. She was too scared to admit it. I confronted her with the documents. They're available for the whole world to see. Receipts. 🧵

  2. #2

    In April, after Todd Blanche had taken over as Acting AG, the DOJ released a report detailing the Biden Administration's abuse of clemency for the murderers on federal death row.

  3. #3

    On November 4, 2024, in a 73-page memorandum, Liz Oyer recommended that all 40 federal death row inmates receive commutations. A clean sweep.

    Disgraced Former AG Garland would lower that recommendation to 37, the number former President Biden ultimately approved. The Report notes that Oyer's recommendation would have given commutations to the most notorious murderers and terrorists currently in federal custody.

    Murderers like Dylann Roof, the Boston Marathon Bomber, and the Tree of Life Synagogue Murderer. Truly heinous criminals.

    My office has substantiated the 73-page report does indeed list Oyer as the author, as is indicated by the DOJ Report.

  7. #7

    Of that 73-pages, only 3 paragraphs (less than a page) addresses concerns of victims. The report notes: "Pardon Attorney Oyer did not address the views of specific victims as to specific cases." Heartless.

    .@SenEricSchmitt: "You also authored and recommended the commutation of the Boston Marathon bomber, the Tree of Life Synagogue murderer and Dylann Roof. We all know this. How many pages of the seventy three page [memo] did you dedicate to victims?... I can tell you: three."

    The White House failed to notify victims' families, sending out the commutations only two days before Christmas. What a great to ruin Christmas for families who had already lost so much.

    All of this, and Liz Oyer had the gall to come into the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify that she was fired because she declined to recommend Mel Gibson get his gun rights back? America fired her and those like her by re-electing President Trump. Good riddance.
