This story doesn't mean anything. SBF has been "seeking" a pardon for over a year now. There's no due process consideration for obtaining a pardon; "applying" for one doesn't get you anything more than asking for one on Twitter would --- given the current administration, asking on Twitter might get you further! I don't think SBF's case is slipping the administration's mind.

Doesn't matter how you "apply", as long as the cash is received.

Maybe you apply to Trump's sons with a proposal as to how to enrich their crypto ventures?
As I recall, Biden pardoned all of his family members. If you think corruption is a single party issue, your bias itself is corrupted over basic logic
Nice talking point, but no, the difference between the parties is staggering and growing.

And what Biden did is not even remotely comparable to what Trump does with full support of conservatives and republicans.
