Are Biden's issuance of presidential pardons going too far?

[JGalt]

Now he pardoned Fauci and Milley. Pardoned from what? When have these people ever been convicted and sentenced for any crimes?

Biden pardons Fauci and Milley in an effort to guard against potential ‘revenge’ by Trump​

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential “revenge” by the incoming Trump administration.

The decision by Biden comes after Donald Trump warned of an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt to overturn his 2020 election loss and his role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump has selected Cabinet nominees who backed his election lies and who have pledged to punish those involved in efforts to investigate him.

“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement. “Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.”

It’s customary for a president to grant clemency at the end of his term, but those acts of mercy are usually offered to everyday Americans who have been convicted of crimes. But Biden has used the power in the broadest and most untested way possible: to pardon those who have not even been investigated yet. And with the acceptance comes a tacit admission of guilt or wrongdoing, even though those who have been pardoned have not been formally accused of any crimes."

When a felon can become president certain people must be protected against a felon's rage.

The basis for this is probably Ford's pre-emptive pardon of Nixon after he resigned from office.

But that was supposed to be a one-off, done to make the country move past the Watergate Scandal.

This now creates a new precedent, and it's not a good one.

Remember this in 2029 when Trump does the same for his people, and the left loses their collective shit over it.

It's not only Trump's rage, you're going to feel the rage of 77,303,573 people over the next four years.

We've had just about enough of you, and remember, you brought this on yourselves.

Biden's pardons won't prevent them from being sued into poverty the rest of their miserable lives.

Turnabout is fair play.

As if Trump had any problem using the pardon to protect his own people. Did you forget how he pardoned all the people who were convicted for protecting him?

Convicted.

And you need to be more specific about your accusations.

Sure dude.
If these idiots cornpop just pardoned didn't do anything wrong, then they should have nothing to worry about.
Try not to be so hyper- propagandized.
Only criminals get pardons.
Does that make sense to you?

 

[Marener]

Convicted.

And you need to be more specific about your accusations.

Yes, convicted. As in proven that they committed crimes to protect Trump.

Somehow your partisan hack brain thinks it’s worse to pardon people who aren’t convicted of anything and didn’t do anything wrong.

As opposed to actual criminals.

Like commuting the death penalties of 37 murderers?

Your feelings are not reality.
Cornpop's senility is not reality.
fauci, milley, and Jan 6 committee are now recognized criminals.
bite me just proclaimed that.

 

[wamose]

These aren't pardons. They're grants of immunity. Fuck that

 

[Marener]

Pardons aren’t the same as commutations, dipshit.

Trump pardoned his cronies who protected him.

Biden is protected people from political persecution from a president who we know has no qualms telling the DoJ to do his bidding and is getting the personnel in place to follow his corrupt orders.

 

[martybegan]

These aren't pardons. They're grants of immunity. Fuck that

The Nixon Pardon was never challenged I believe, because everyone just wanted the issue to go away once Nixon resigned.

That isn't the case here, look for Congress or Trump to challenge the notion of pre-emptive pardons.
