SPECIAL EDITION: Biden and Trump show us the promise and peril of presidential clemency.

Editor's note: We are off for President's Day today, but have a special edition featuring a guest writer today. Core to our mission at Tangle is offering perspectives from influential and thoughtful voices from across the political spectrum. As we've grown, our ability to advance that mission has also grown, allowing us a broader reach and new ways to offer coverage of political news to our subscribers. Today, we are pleased to publish a thoughtful essay from Jacob Sullum, senior editor at Reason, about President Joe Biden's and President Donald Trump's recent acts of clemency. Jacob Sullum, a senior editor at Reason magazine, is the author of Beyond Control: Drug Prohibition, Gun Regulation, and the Search for Sensible Alternatives, forthcoming from Prometheus Books. Our Executive Editor and Founder is Isaac Saul. Our Executive Producer is Jon Lall. This podcast was recorded by Will Kaback and edited and engineered by Jon Lall.
