I’m sorry, but did the people outgoing President Joe Biden pardoned in his last hours in office do something criminal? Oh, you didn’t hear. Yeah, ole puddin’ head decided to hand out more pardons Monday morning, this time to people that, according to the establishment propaganda media, haven’t done anything wrong.
So, Biden took it upon himself — or the people in charge of the president — to pardon even more people who supposedly are “targeted” by incoming President Donald Trump.
According to the New York Times:
Among those receiving the pardons were Gen. Mark A. Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the longtime government scientist; and all the members of the bipartisan House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, including former Representative Liz Cheney, a Republican from Wyoming.
Fox News also reported:
The pardon also applies to a litany of people involved in the January 6 select committee investigation.
In addition to the named individuals, the pardon applies to, "Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.”
The New York Times also reported that former congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Sen. Adam Schiff were also offered pardons, but “It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Kinzinger and Mr. Schiff ultimately accepted the pardon or whether they even have the option of refusing it when granted in a category such as the committee membership.”

If these people did nothing wrong, why do they need pre-emptive pardons? Even with the New York Times pointing out Trump’s bluster of wanting “retribution” when he retakes office, there IS precedent that he probably wouldn’t be the one to do so if actual crimes were committed. Sure, it would be Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ), but did Trump go after failed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton after he was elected in 2016?
She’s still a free woman, and there were way more questionable actions by Clinton than most of those pardoned on Monday…save maybe Fauci.
It’s just strange that people who always portray the “holier than thou” vibe are the same people who, for some reason, need saving.
