Just weeks before the end of his presidential term, Joe Biden granted his son Hunter Biden a full and unconditional pardon covering all federal crimes committed over an 11-year period.
With President Trump’s inauguration just around the corner, concerns about what kind of investigation the incoming administration will conduct regarding President Biden’s term have fueled high-level discussions about “preemptive pardons” for other questionable individuals. It has become.
This is especially true after President Trump recently announced that he would nominate Kash Patel to be the next FBI director.
According to reports, discussions were intense Regarding the issuance of amnesty These include Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Representative Liz Cheney, and Senator-elect Adam Schiff.
Although the idea of preemptive pardons is not new, they are rarely implemented and raise serious ethical and legal questions.

These very specific names appear to be indicators of who the White House considers to be potential targets for investigation. It also appears to be a tacit admission that in the eyes of the public they are seen as guilty on some issues.
Fauci has become a lightning rod for criticism during the coronavirus crisis. Critics say he lied in Congressional testimony about his remarks about the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s gain-of-function research. Others claim that certain types of research were funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under Fauci’s direction.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has been a very vocal critic.
Meanwhile, Schiff and Cheney both contributed to the investigation into President-elect Trump. An investigation that ultimately turned out to be an overtly partisan witch hunt.
Cheney played a key role on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot, which used plausible evidence to create false media reports about the insurrection and ultimately resulted in prison terms for multiple Trump associates who refused to cooperate with the circus.
Schiff was a leading figure in the investigation into Trump’s alleged ties to Russia during and after his presidency, including leading the first impeachment against him.
Mr. Schiff repeatedly misled the public and abused his position to leak selective information.

President Biden’s shame
As Biden’s presidential term draws to a close, the decision on whether to issue a pre-emptive pardon will be a controversial exercise of presidential power that will determine his time. protect political allies.
But it’s already defined by his overt willingness to use controversial powers to weaponize the federal government. against political opponent.
The government remains mum on the outcome of these discussions regarding pre-emptive amnesty. And, let’s be honest, President Biden probably doesn’t know they’re in the works right now. These are probably the rogue staffers who have been rogue throughout his presidency and are now desperately trying to save their own skin and the skin of their muses like Fauci, Schiff, and Cheney.
Politico reported that “Biden’s aides are deeply concerned that various current and former officials could be investigated and even indicted.”
“White House officials…are carefully considering the unusual step of granting blanket pardons to people who have not committed a crime, because it could suggest wrongdoing and has prompted criticism from President Trump. This is because it will only incite the public, and because there is a possibility that those who have offered pre-emptive pardons will refuse the pardons.
If Biden pardons these people, it should be investigated at the state level, where presidential pardons have no effect. Otherwise, the Trump administration should sue them and forget about them.
These people, especially Fauci, have done even more harm and literally cost lives and livelihoods to untold proportions.
