GOOD! President Biden understands the retaliatory nature and risk that Felon Trump is capable of. We, the People the Felon couldn’t give two shits about, know he STOLE an election. Also, NYT has zero journalistic integrity and is complicit in misleading Americans—choosing profits over democracy.🖕
Well, now these crooks can't hide behind the 5th Amendment, and maybe the Republicans will find their balls to uncover all the shit Fauci et al. pulled.
I don’t understand why you say it’s either dumb or counterproductive? It seems a no brainer & hopefully will save these Americans & the wider group of us the trouble of being subjected to that nonsense.
“I am guilty of nothing besides bringing the truth to the American people and, in the process, embarrassing Donald Trump. Because for 187 minutes, he sat there and did absolutely nothing and showed how weak and scared he truly was. So no, I don’t want it,”
Fauci, Miller, Cheney, the Bidens; all of them. They haven't been charged and they are adamant they haven't committed crimes. So why get a preemptive pardon for crimes that never happened?
Considering that fighting any partisan persecution brought on by the orange Mussolini could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (millions?) to defend, this is a sensible move.
I feel President Biden has good motives here. Not sure it sets a good precedent, however. These ppl did nothing wrong, rather, they were keeping their oaths to protect the constitution. It gives the impression of guilt.
But then again, this is Trump we’re talking about. And Joe knows that.
BLOG: Pardons have become a political football - and the game really starts when Trump starts to pardon proper traitors. End presidential pardons and reform the judiciary instead.
I know some in the Dem party are not happy about these, but they are necessary. The days of worrying about precedents, and norms are long gone. We must expect the worst from tRump and his weaponized DOJ, and do everything possible to prevent it.
These captions imply these ppl needed pardons. The breaking news: Trump has threatened to prosecute ppl who tried to address his criminal activity. Forcing Biden to extend pardons to all in danger. The media is no better than Russian state media.
A sad day as American democracy hands power to a dictator and his fascist crowd. The fascists will have their day today, but they ultimately will be defeated as they have been every time they have taken power. It is just a question of how much suffering they impose first.
While the most powerful fascist leaders had to bd removed by bloody war there have been others who were defeated without bloodshed. Our democracy has been weakened but not extinguished.
And he pardoned criminals already since taking office again. Apparently everyone who was convicted based on the insurrection- and I think they only prosecuted people for violent crimes
This is disgusting! Not that it has happened but because it was necessary. If I was in a political or health movement that issues threats of political or actual violence to health professionals I would be wondering if I was the one being lied to and hanging my head in shame!
Joe rocks! It’s not that those pardoned are guilty but Joe needs to hinder those looking to manufacture a charge and a costly investigation into nothing. Did I say Joe rock?
If the Biden administration believed that political persecution of Trump's enemies was likely, they had a duty to protect the rest of the Americans too, not just a couple famous ones.
We need to contact Patrick Yoes, President-FOP. What’s their stand on pardoning those that assaulted police officers on Jan 6? Does FoP Back the Blue? FOP endorsed Trump.

Does this mean the republicans might have to actually do some real work for the people instead of fake trials in the house. Yeah. That’s silly they won’t work on a damn thing for the people, but for felon47 maybe.
Other guilty democrats and collaborators are still to be pardoned. When your whole corrupt administration was based on a stolen election and lawfare - thousands of pardons are essential to try to prevent the truth from biting your buttocks
It is sad that people who did the right thing need a pardon from the threats of a convicted felon. It is more sad that the convicted felon was elected over the people that do the right thing.
The top corrupt devil liar nwo puppet Trump started war with the ex kgb mafia corrupt nwo Putin and financied Covid-toxic vacines with Rotschild(patent owner 2015),Bill Gates,Big Pharma-Fauci. On oct.2019 Trump made simulation 'Coronavirus pandemia from China'before Covid ufficial announce
Trump stole the election using Musk. He cheats at everything in his entire life!! We need to demand recounts and investigations into this in every swing state!!
Set a precedent?
Pre-emptive or not, those who speak out against tyranny MUST be protected.
Trump dialed it up pardoning bad actors who would line their pockets and/or see the destruction of the US.
So effing sad. There was no reason to have to have preemptive pardons. They did nothing wrong except doing their job. Our country is so disappointing. We were brought up to believe we were the best country on earth I don't believe that anymore.
This is some utter bs I hope Trump can overturn or override these pardons fauci murdered millions of people for money I want to see him in jail or hung.
I understand why he is doing it but in my opinion this is a bad move that plays into the right-wing’s media complex narrative. It will be seen as affirmation of all the crap they have been feeding their followers.
“I am not a Know Nothing . . . When it comes to this, I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.” Abraham Lincoln
Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Jesus Christ were all wrongfully accused of crimes. If standing up to evil is a crime, then by God put on the shackles and handcuffs. #justiceforall https://youtu.be/XJU2uwxNRKA?si=gi8iB-fysr145Zv2
You can’t make up charges and indict people for nothing. The DOJ or congress should investigate each and every one of these people and determine why they needed pardons, what acts they committed, and who, if anyone, is prosecutable (staff etc).
Do you really think that people operating in bad faith can’t being charges and force innocent people to incur legal bills trying to prove their innocence? That’s how Trump operates. Of course he would have Congressional committees and the DoJ going after his “enemies” to try to settle old scores.
Donald Trump would argue that this is exactly what happened to him. For Civil cases this is true. Criminal cases generally need to be based on something. Except that Manhattan da case on trump. That was nonsense.
Trump will remove anyone at DoJ who doesn’t do his will and it’s well known that a Grand Jury will “indict a ham sandwich”. Exactly what will stop bad faith baseless prosecution?
Norms and institutions can’t defend themselves. Who will defend them?
Hopefully he doesn’t do that. As he didn’t in his first term. But even if there was enough there to indict - which is not as easy as you say if no crime actually occurred, then the person will be exonerated and sue the DOJ.
You can’t make up charges and indict people for nothing. Agree with that one. Look at the indictment of Trump in the documents case and the J6 case. You can’t make up charges and indict people for nothing
Yes. Trump was probably going to be found guilty of at least the docs case. As Biden would have also. Both crimes. J6 case probably as well. The law is the law.
I worked financial crimes in NYC for a decade. There is no chance that the Manhattan DA would ever write that case if you brought it to them. Even without the statute of limitations issue.
This is nothing new many presidents have done this including Trump. This way these PATRIOTS will not be subject to punitive ligation aimed at bankrupting them while they fight indictments that won’t hold up in any court
Am I the only one here who finds the idea of a “pre-emptive pardon” absurd? What if they committed actual federal crimes that we aren’t aware of? With Cheney’s lineage, that’s always a possibility
Not that I'm encouraging that but we're not going to use nukes against ourselves on our own soil. Also, American citizens own more guns and rifles than every military in the world combined including the US - a hundred million more guns than people in the US. The govt, as intended, fears the populace
WE all knew they were guity, this just proves it. The corrupt president , his corrupt DOJ, his corrupt democrat party The party of coriminality! Get them all the f**k out of office, Vot every shit for brains democrat out!
wnen you know a committee is guilty of fraud, what do you know about most of the ppl they convicted. These criminals were just pardoned for a reason. The criminal entity that is the democrat party! Worst and most corrupt president of our time- Biden!
Good. Don't let Trump and company play games with these people's lives for the next four years for simply doing their duty to the Constitution and the American public.
Pre-emptive pardons for people who have commited no crimes to protect them frum the justice system being used as a weapon against them.
Rule of law has officially ended in the US.
How sad that President Biden needs to protect Dr. Fauci, Gen. Milley, Liz Cheney an others from that vengeful man. They were doing their jobs and protecting the country.

Why does Fauci's pardon extend back to 2014?
“I am guilty of nothing besides bringing the truth to the American people and, in the process, embarrassing Donald Trump. Because for 187 minutes, he sat there and did absolutely nothing and showed how weak and scared he truly was. So no, I don’t want it,”
But then again, this is Trump we’re talking about. And Joe knows that.

🤣
Stop watching mainstream media who sane washed Trump and support independent journalists who you know won’t lie to you!
Thank you.
2024: The GREATEST con ever. Trump REGAINED the presidency after 9 years of publicly broadcasting what an awful, evil person he is.
Apologies from America to the world. Don't let this happen to you.
Peace.

The US is really in a bad way.
Pre-emptive or not, those who speak out against tyranny MUST be protected.

Pity.
Oh, and piss off, MAGA!

The Democrats have abandoned the bravest of us.
Norms and institutions can’t defend themselves. Who will defend them?

Democrats must stop bringing butter knives to gun fights.
FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.
What would you have them do? Stage a violent revolution against a nuclear superpower?
Who didn't know how the Democrat party ran?
Biden just said the quiet part, outloud.
Do I think Trump, Bondi and Patel care? No. They will go after these people anyway because American law is irrelevant to them.
Pre-emptive pardons: „Guard against reprisals because we know these people did nothing wrong.“
Rule of law has officially ended in the US.
