Oh, my.

Democrats, leftoids, speaking out of both sides of their mouths. What else is new?

And where are those of you now, you who claimed accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt?


Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) once called the possibility of President Donald Trump pre-emptively pardoning members of his inner circle "a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority."
Schumer made these remarks in late 2020, less than two months before President Joe Biden was inaugurated. Now, on the same day Trump is inaugurated for a second term, Biden has preemptively pardoned multiple people.
"The president's reportedly asking his staff whether he can issue pre-emptive pardons for himself, his family members, Rudy Giuliani," Schumer said in 2020 in prepared remarks on the Senate floor. "There's a simple answer: No. No, Mr. President, that would be a gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority."
"But I have a more important question: Just how long are our Republican colleagues going to indulge the president in this nonsense?" Schumer continued.
On Monday, as his last act as president, Biden issued pre-emptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the January 6 Committee, and several family members. Fauci's pardon dates back to January 2014 and protects the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from "any offenses against the U.S. which he may have committed or taken part in." The pardon protects him from these offenses while he was the head of NIAID, the White House Coronavirus Task Force, the White House COVID Response Team, or as Biden's chief medical advisor.
As of this writing, Schumer has said nothing about Biden's pardons, though he has posted about Martin Luther King Jr. Day. A Daily Wire inquiry to Schumer's office went unanswered as of press time.
In December, Biden's own Justice Department wrote in a court filing that those charged with crimes relating to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol would be admitting guilt if they accepted a presidential pardon from Trump.

I saw a video of a Joy Reid interview with Adam Schiff today. He was asked basically the same question with nearly identical response. If it weren't for criminal actions and hypocrisy, the democrat party would have nothing.

I believe this is it. The hypocrisy is glaring.

Meh, he has "evolved" on the issue...
 
And let us never forget that the person who recommended the most treasonous AG ever, Michael Mukasey, was...






Another example of W being "conservative," by picking Charles Schumer recommended Michael Mukasey, a 100% left wing Jew Supremacist Zionist Fascist Traitor.

Democrats are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

The entire leadership is completely fucked up.
 
I think Chuckles might have evolved.

Schumer has no problem with the pardons now.

Use these statements in the trial to reverse these pardons.

Like the 'Biden Rule' that cost the Democrats a seat on the Supreme Court, everything these dipshits say comes back to bite them in the ass.

I have said many a time that the Biden presidency is the Karma presidency. It's been that way for four solid years.
 
Schumer is one of those people like Nancy Pelosi whose public statements have lost all meaning. They are so predictably and totally partisan, that there is really no need to listen or read their remarks.

Indeed, it borders on journalistic malpractice to even ask them their opinion on any subject with a partisan flavor. Just write your story...no need to actually ask or listen.
