Original Note:
Terry ‘Southwest Tee’ Flenory was granted clemency; he was not “pardoned.” Clemency typically reduces a sentence or grants early release but does not erase the conviction or imply innocence. A pardon, on the other hand, forgives the crime entirely. https://thesource.com/2024/12/16/president-biden-grants-southwest-t-clemency-in-largest-single-day-act/
