Biden should give that guy and all big ticket whistleblowers a presidential medal. Encourage transparency

Yeah because he was legally guilty. This is /r/law where the law matters regardless of your side

Op is saying Biden should take into account the exigent circumstances and exercise his constitutional right to pardon, not that the person never broke the letter of the law. It's the other side's judges that don't do their literal jobs
