Can you imagine the outrage if Biden pardoned SBF?

It would be in the news cycle for months. Biden is the lawless one, they would say. He would certainly get impeached, maybe convicted?

Trump does it? "Trump hysteria." It just fades into the background.

What a screwed up timeline.

Sounds like you're under the impression that SBF has been pardoned.

He hasn't.

At least not at this point anyway. He's still very much in jail.

The first words on the linked page are, “Sam Bankman-Fried is clearly angling for a pardon from Trump.”

The person you are responding to probably read that and is discussing it

I watched the interview and he seemed shocked that donating money to Democrats didn't keep him out of jail
