What came to my mind on this topic, I really cannot share on this blog without lowering the esteem it holds among us…
But I will share this “news” story from the Babylon Bee.
He can’t stay out of trouble for trouble is his nature. This is another Bee prophecy that will be fulfilled.
Broadest pardon since Nixon? Wow.
It is by my order and for the good of the state that the subject of the pardon has done what he has done.
J. Biden
The amazing thing is the left wants more pardons for as many people on the left that can be imagined. Some have argued for the entirety of the bureaucracy. The same people demanding SCOTUS deny Trump immunity now want all government employees and representatives to have blanket immunity.
And even for the few more targeted pardons; let’s consider them:
Fauci – it is clear he lied to the American people about the origins of COVID19 and used his position to change legal definitions to suggest he wasn’t lying. But it was too big a lie, and it is clear now that the disease came from a lab funded by Fauci and not some market in the area. An investigation will occur whether Fauci is pardoned or not, because the truth needs to be told.
Liz Cheney – She’s an ass that deserved to be kicked out of the party and Congress. But I’m not even sure what she did was illegal. Still, there will be continuing investigations into the January 6th committee and the actions of the FBI and other agencies on that day. If hard evidence is found that government agents were seeded in the crowd, it will vindicate Trump regardless of anyone else going to jail. A pardon of Cheney will just make her look more guilty to the average American.
Adam Schiff – Just how far back would Biden make a pardon? It is clear from Hunter’s pardon, Joe is willing to make it as wide ranging as possible. But would Joe issue a pardon going back to 2015? Because if it is shown Schiff was involved in Crossfire Hurricane, which amounts to the Democrats using the FBI and other intelligence assets to spy on the Trump campaign; then that is exactly what Democrats wanted Nixon to go to jail for even contemplating. It won’t be a tit-for-tat pardon for Schiff, because no evidence shows that Nixon did those things and only a single discussion of mentioning it. Crossfire Hurricane morphed into multiple years long investigations into a presidency that denied the American people a democratically elected President’s ability to run the country. A pardoned Senator Schiff will not likely sit well with the American public.
The major value pardoning these people in advance is it might move Trump to focus on his policy agenda rather than retribution. It will make the entire left side of our government seem guilty as hell. And it will give plenty of reason for Trump to make the deep cuts in the bureaucracy that he wants to make. He may not be able to send people to jail, but he can sure take away their ability to continue feeding at the trough.
“It will make the entire left side of our government seem guilty as hell.”
This is why I’ve been saying Trump should have pardoned Obama and Hillary during his first term. Chances of litigation bringing justice to them are slim but hanging a pardon around their necks would make their guilt visible and recorded in the history books in a way that can’t be ignored.
Now? I want some punishment but there should be some pardons as well.
Gen Milley, in particular, should be recalled into service, given a court martial trial, and if found guilty dropped about four ranks, fined, and stationed at a radar facility in northern Alaska.
