<![CDATA[Biden stirs outrage in Scranton by commuting 'kids for cash' judge's sentence Former Judge Michael Conahan shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and took kickbacks for sending juveniles to for-profit detention facilities]]> In what came to be known as the kids-for-cash scandal, former Judge Michael Conahan shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and shared $2.8 million in illegal payments from the builder and co-owner of two for-profit lockups. Another judge, Mark Ciavarella, was also involved in the illicit scheme, the effects of which are still felt today among victims and families. 

The scandal is considered Pennsylvania’s largest-ever judicial corruption scheme with the state's supreme court throwing out some 4,000 juvenile convictions involving more than 2,300 kids after the scheme was uncovered.

Biden knows he probably won't see next Christmas.  He will never be in Government again.  He will do whatever he can to fuck this country up as much as possible.

He's been doing that for nearly 4 years.....but selling the pieces of wall is the most asinine, infantile bs I think.
