Biden ends his presidency with hypocritical
and terribly dangerous pardons

As we all knew would happen, Biden’s last act was to pardon every bad actor in his administration. This is hypocritical, to say the least, given his government’s vindictive pursuit of everyone in the Trump administration, including Trump himself. However, even worse than that, it sets a dangerous precedent that can destroy the American Constitution—and no, I’m not exaggerating. So, here’s the top line from Fox News: "President Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and others who some speculated may have faced investigations under the incoming Trump administration on Monday. Biden's pardons come just hours before he is set to depart

The question in my mind is if Biden himself issued these and many other executive orders or were they issued by staffers and signed with his autopen. He denied issuing the executive order that Mike Johnson asked him about. I question the validity of these orders.

Entirely predictable, expected and yet, still infuriating. Great big middle finger salute to half the country on his way out the door. THIS will be the "accomplishment" that Biden will be remembered for.

No one who has received FJB's preemptive pardon any longer has Fifth Amendment protection. Ms. Widburg is resoundingly correct that the ones pardoned should be called before Congress and grilled about the illegal actions they are suspected of having done. If any of their answers deviates one iota from the truth, they are looking at charges of perjury which is punishable with prison time. The author is also correct that FJB's favored few should be questioned by the absolute top prosecutors in America, not so much by congresspeople. There must be legal ways to get around what FJB has done. Was he ever really the president? Probably not. Just invalidate everything he did in four years; cheated into office, he wasn't a real president. May history record him and his committee of deciders as a minor blip. Now he can shuffle back home to the beach and shuffle off this mortal coil. The Democrats' 2020 foul gift to America has become the unintentional begetter of an immeasurably more powerful Trump than if PDJT hadn't been cheated out of the 2020 election. Bwahaha.

If they accept the pardons, they acknowledge guilt. Now subpoena the scum and get them on record. They have no recourse to the 5th. Lie and they get prosecuted. They must name names and detail the plots. This allows the whole stinking mess to be cracked wide apart and lead to the destruction of the guilty. As a separate issue, litigate the constitutionality of these pardons.

TWO things: Receiving a pardon is also an admission of guilt. From now on these miscreants will be remembered for beating the rap, not innocence. Crimes like the kind for which these people are guilty, which from now on we may consider them, depend on the efforts of hundreds of lackeys who abet them in committing. They are the still anonymous up-and-comers, the future threat to our freedom; they are the ones we need to nip in the bud. Convictions and plea deals will be easier with them. Biden has done us a favor if we have the sense to exploit it.

This is truly one of the most dangerous threats to the constitution since the War of Northern Aggression. A president can order any crime and those that committed can be pardon before even being charged. And what if the crime has nothing to do with goobernment crimes? If Hunter committed child rape is his pardon a blanket of protection? This needs to be challenged and have the Supreme Joke weight in. At least make pardons only for those that have committed a crime against the US. The crime has to be identified and office, not presumptive. This eliminates the rule of law. But of course that is all Democrats do, eliminate the rule of law.

We heed a ruling from SCOTUS on whether a "pardon" can be given in advance of any criminal charges being filed, and for a broad brush "any possible crimes". I think this is beyond the scope of the power that the Constitution gives to a President.

Biden not only purports to pardon specified persons for unspecified crimes but classes of persons for classes of unspecified crimes. This abuse of the President's pardon authority should not be allowed to stand. It must be limited either through litigation or, if necessary, a constitutional amendment.

U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 2 - The President . . . shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment. States enforce their own laws, and only state governors can issue pardons for those crimes. All 50 states should indict Fauci right now, and Byrd should be indicted for murder one, to put these phony pardons to the test. Under what authority does Brandon have to pardon actions wherein guilt or harm has yet to be established in court? In addition, the Hur Report basically states that Brandon cannot stand trial due to incapacity, so his signature on any document should have no legal authority. And the most hypocritically vile sentence in the statement issued: "Even when individuals have done nothing wrong - and in fact have done the right thing - and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances." Good riddance to the bad rubbish of the Brandon administration.

I'm surprised Biden's handlers didn't just send out a large hit team of illegal Chinese aliens to kill Trump and everyone associated with him, then have "Biden" issue a blanket pardon of them all. That's essentially the logical direction in which the Democrats are taking this country.

Any legal document signed by a mentally incapacitated person is not legally valid. All of Biden's last minute pardons, proclamations, edicts, and orders should be challenged in court on this basis. The court should force him to take a cognitive test and medical exam to determine the extent of his dementia. The evidence is overwhelming; when Speaker of the House Mike Johnson asked Biden why he had suspended export sales of Natural Gas toe Europe, Biden denied that he had signed such an executive order. He had signed it three weeks earlier. Biden thought that the order was to commission a study of the subject. Unelected staff members have been making these decisions, using Non Compos Mentis Joe as their puppet.

Calling them dangerous pardons is misleading, since immunity is not a pardon at all. I guess a gang who say a man can be a woman (and vice-versa) might claim that immunity can be a pardon. Both words and actions demonstrate that the Dems have simply renounced the Constitution.

But i's not necessarily over. FTA: In the short term, though, every person whom Biden pardoned needs to be hauled before Congress to testify about those things he or she did that were illegal or unconstitutional, whether Fauci’s consistent lies to the people and Congress, Liz Cheney’s apparent destruction of evidence, or Milley’s seeming treason. All these people, thanks to the preemptive pardons, have lost their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. We need to hear about their sins from their own mouths, and if they deviate by even a comma from the truth, they need to be prosecuted for perjury and imprisoned. One more thing: The last thing I would do is let congresspeople ask the questions because the politicians will just bloviate and bluster. Instead, Republicans need to find the sharpest, best prosecutors in America to make sure that Fauci, Cheney, Milley, et al. tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, with no hiding behind squirrely language or bad memories.

Thank you, #26....I had missed the fact that Mr. Byrd was included in all these pardons! Also, #8... I agree with your succinct breakout of path forward: 1) congressional subpoenas, as described and 2) challenges to the constitutionality of these preemptive pardons. Then, I would add a 3rd prong: to completely review all aspects of the current process of presidential pardons with an eye toward potential modifications!

President Biden’s pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci may protect the former National Institutes of Health official from immediate criminal prosecution, but some critics say he is not completely out of legal jeopardy and that public sentiment might still condemn the man who became known during the COVID-19 pandemic as “Mr. Science.” In the days before Biden offered the pardon to Fauci, along with other critics of Donald Trump, some experts who have followed Fauci’s career and handling of the pandemic, as well as members of the Trump transition team, reiterated their assertion that Fauci perjured himself on several occasions during the pandemic

But multiple prisons and halfway houses have resisted complying, with the D.C. gulag holding multiple prisoners hostage and refusing to release them. Trump’s historic order commuted the sentences of about a dozen individuals and pardoned “all individuals convicted of offenses related to event that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” It ordered that those “currently held in prison are released immediately.” But the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers

In two earlier pieces for Townhall (here and here), I’ve sounded warnings for the Biden administration: Unless something changes, President Biden will be ranked as among America’s worst chief executives. And this is not only according to the Constitution’s job description, a measure conservatives might use to assess presidents. It also is true according to indicators left-of-center academics employ to raise the rankings of presidents whose policies they like and suppress the rankings of presidents they don’t like. Like nearly all deficient presidents, Biden served only one term. He is now mercifully gone. But his actions during his final days will cement his low rating.

Most people who died from it had three or more co-morbidities — that is, they were old as hell, fat as a hog, and really liked smoking, or drinking, or cancer.

The idea of the Prayer Service is to unify the attendees and remind them that we are all one nation under God.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) late Monday launched a suit challenging an executive order from President Trump seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are not lawfully present. It’s an order that contradicts the Constitution, which bestows citizenship on anyone born in the United State regardless of the status of their parents. “Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional — it’s also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values. Birthright citizenship is part of what makes the United States the strong and dynamic nation that it is.
