Biden White House Is Discussing Preemptive Pardons for Those
in Trump’s Crosshairs

The nomination of Kash Patel, who has vowed to pursue Trump’s
critics, as FBI director has heightened concerns within the
president’s inner circle.

President Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous
internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a
range of current and former public officials who could be
targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the
White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with
the discussions.

Biden’s aides are deeply concerned about a range of current
and former officials who could find themselves facing inquiries
and even indictments, a sense of alarm which has only accelerated
since Trump last weekend announced the appointment of Kash Patel
to lead the FBI. Patel has publicly vowed to pursue Trump’s
critics.

. . .

Wow ... that'd be maggot-ridden ROTTEN politics.

Sorry, but there's no "justice" whatsoever if
you just go around handing out "Get Out Of Jail
Free - FOREVER/WHATEVER" cards.

We can't have a class of people like that wandering
around. The USSC may have to weigh in on the validity
of 'pre-emptive' pardons.

Hell yeah, a blanket pardon for everybody on Kash Patel's enemies list.

I'm on board with that.

I'm in favor of this. Biden should preemptively pardon anyone he thinks Trump
might pursue out of vindictiveness. The pardon should be for any and all federal
crimes possibly committed between Obama's first inauguration and Trump's second.
So, as much as I would have wanted to see Lois Lerner prosecuted for politicized
IRS audits, and Eric Holder prosecuted for gun running, under a *normal*
administration, they have to be pardoned to prevent Orange Fat Fuck from going
after them.

Ford's pardon of Nixon was preemptive. Trump's pardon of that fat cocksucker
Arpaio was preemptive. They are constitutional.
