So a bizarre allegation is floating around conservative web sites that the Biden administration is considering pre-emptive blanket pardons for possible Trump retaliation targets. A couple of concerns….
1) If they didn’t commit a crime, then why would they need pardons?
2) If they accept the blanket pardons, isn’t this an admission of guilt?
3) Isn’t this just a political ploy to suggest people need protection from Trump?
4) Isn’t this the kind of totalitarian act that the Democrats feared of Trump?
Sadly, it’s the liberal’s fear of having done to them what has been done to Trump that is fueling their concerns. They never thought they’d lose power after Trump, and so didn’t fear retribution. But karma – well, it’s a bitch….
To be frank, I would have pardoned Hunter for the gun charge. Yes, he’s guilty, but these charges are generally reserved for cases where the gun results in harm to another. However, he would be on his own for the flagrant violation of our tax laws. I pay my taxes on time, Hunter, and you should too (or go to jail!). But now he’s also off-the-hook for sex trafficking charges, which should piss off women everywhere.
The best thing Biden can do now is to also pardon Trump. Then he’d at least be able to argue that it was all for putting an end to the “lawfare” that has been a hallmark of his adminstration. Unfortunately, the far left liberals would never allow Trump a walk (they fully expect to get another bite at him in 2029). It’s too bad; it would be best for the country if lawfare came to an end. But as we’ve seen for the last four years, the far-left democrats know what’s best for you (whether you agree or not)… you just need to shut up and fall in line.
“One of us… One of us…. One of us…”
Or maybe instead:
“Not one of them… Not one of them… Not one of them…”
