Biden weighs pre-emptive pardons for potential targets of Trump’s retribution

[@Reaper-cm4jr]

Why do these people need pardons if they haven't done anything illegal?

[@zat_chu]

Because of creative minds in the Republican party.

[@Reaper-cm4jr]

@@zat_chu That's what The Republicans said about Willis, Smith and Bragg's prosecution of Trump.

[@gab4690]

Makes you wonder what they have done.

[@WBS001]

@@gab4690 They-whom? The R's or D's? And for those who point out: pardons are to protect the guilty, does that mean that when trump pardons the J6 rioters, he'll be protecting the GUILTY?" It goes both ways. Grow up!

[@Reaper-cm4jr]

@@WBS001 So I guess then you are saying that Hunter was in fact guilty?

[@CaroleScarborough-w7y]

Is it legal to "pardon" someone who hasn't been charged with a crime? To exactly what does the pardon apply?

[@jamescarlsen2789]

No but Ford did it for Dixson..so now they just do it

[@nanettie]

Yes it seems to me that a pardon for an unspecified crime is like a marriage to an unspecified person. You can try doing it, but it’s meaningless 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@seansky2721]

A pardon is issued for a crime, not for a person. No charges or sentence. No pardon. Not that dopey Joe has paid much attention to the law, ever.

[@chicho5359]

admission of guilt

[@thereasonableconsumer]

Weaponizing and manipulating the justice system has its consequences. 🍿

[@JesseJones-jh3fl]

Sure give them all pardons. Just name their crimes. The American people have a right to know what these people are being pardoned for.

[@nanettie]

Smartest comment here.

[@vanpearsall]

The Democrats should remember President Trump will have this power in his last Year in office also

[@timfrancis8847]

Ya trump pardons them in puts them in the white house.

[@Reaper-cm4jr]

@@timfrancis8847 Obama pardoned over 5,000 people doing Life Sentences. Are you OK with that?

[@evabyrum3327]

😂😂😂😂😂 The Dems learned it from trump! 😂😂😂😂😂. Glad Biden is fighting back and doing the right thing!

[@timfrancis8847]

@Reaper-cm4jr yes

[@zat_chu]

@@Reaper-cm4jr WOW I just fact checked that and you're welcome !!! Obama granted clemency to 1,927 individuals during his presidency. This includes 212 pardon and 1,715 commutations. Most of these acts of clemency were for individuals convicted of drug offenses, reflecting his administration's focus on criminal justice reform. Furthermore none of them were friends or family.

[@JenniferNIsbet-n6d]

The preemptive pardon issue should be taken up to the Supreme Court.

[@WBS001]

Perhaps, but if they rule against it, then trump can't do it for his people either. It goes BOTH ways

[@Chryssye4]

It has been in the 1886 case, Ex parte Garland. Look it up and read it. Why do people not do their own research? Lack of intellectual curiosity?

[@nanettie]

💯

[@nanettie]

@@WBS001So you are expecting “Trump’s people” to commit crimes and need pardons? Guilty people need pardons. Accused people need good lawyers, a fair justice system, and a chance to defend themselves in court, with the world seeing the evidence. What are you worried about?

[@JesseJones-jh3fl]

Taking a pardon is an admission of guilt. You can't be pardoned unless you are guilty of a crime.

[@Teresa.Says.It.Here.2]

Why are they - The Democrats - floating this retribution language? They threw the first punches, and did it for over 8 years! Call it what it is - he's fighting against the hate! That is NOT retribution!

[@nanettie]

Are you for real?

[@rayellebishop8168]

This would be the end of the Democrat party. Never to surface in the USA again.

[@DarkPassenger]

So again Democrats proving rules for thee not for me.....

[@gregoryM8105]

Not so !!!

@@gregoryM8105 Dem o crooks!

[@Chryssye4]

Why don't you say the same about the MAGA Republicans and Trump but I bet you're okay with Trump giving pardons to his business allies, his friends, and his son-in-law's father, right? How do you justify it being okay for Trump to do for his pardons what Biden did for his son? You can't. It's called hypocrisy and Trump cult devotion by his supporters.

[@gab4690]

If fraudchi is innocent why would he need a pardon?

[@eliashe1797]

duh.... tv are seeking revenge, not justice.

[@kuribojim3916]

Did you watch the video or just read the title?

[@Chryssye4]

Because MAGA extremist RINOs seem to think that Dr. Fauci committed crimes against humanity by using his expertise in how to control the spreading of COVID-19 by suggesting wearing masks, social distancing, school and business closures, etc. But that's exactly what happened when the Spanish Flu hit our shores. Dr. Tuttle made the same suggestions 100 years ago. Should Dr. Fauci be prosecuted for trying to save lives? No, he shouldn't. But that won't stop Marjorie Taylor Greene and the other nutcases in Congress.

[@cCiIcCo]

​@@eliashe1797So tell me about the trials against Trump. Seems as if the trials were witch hunts ehh.

[@Lp78Ch]

Without a presidential pardon, Fauci is finished.

[@hoyemd]

Does a preemptive pardon reflect guilt? During the Jan 6th committee hearings the Biden party pointed to Trump and his allies "pleading the fifth" as evidence of guilt. Which under normal court circumstances isn't legal. What about pardons for unknown crimes.

[@kuribojim3916]

In this case it clearly doesn’t. It’s about protecting people from an ironically far more weaponised DOJ under Trump.

[@m90rider65]

This would be president to blanket pardon everyone in your administration when you leave office just in case.

[@kaybel5104]

Can Biden please pardon all of us to protect us from trump? All the unsolved crimes get washed away.

[@chrisfarmer-g4j]

What an obvious spin! Paid for by...

[@alexanderericson8628]

That game is up pardon everyone. IF you can pardon your son you can pardon absolutely everyone, don't have to be shy anymore. You have a king not a president that ship sailed long time ago. Use your divine king power pardon the peasants

[@JesseJones-jh3fl]

Sure. Just step forward, and tell the American people you need a blanket pardon, because you don't want to be investigated, and you don't want to be charged with a crime.

[@cindyjordan-tu7vl]

Just like they already did under the first Trump administration! Remember Trump selling pardons?

[@nanettie]

Preemptive pardons are un-American and pardoning Fauci would be unforgivable. It’s too late to ask people to forgive Fauci. People know, and anyone who tries to hide what happened will live in infamy.

[@papad7924]

I hate preemptive pardons for corrupt politicians and officials. It’s wrong. It makes me sick.

If these people that are in congress if pardoned should step down

[@Jenna-qs7nw]

Obviously he should pardon them before trumps seeks retribution for people trying to hold him accountable for actual crimes

[@crazieskrew3813]

Stop trying to justify your crimes. If you did nothing you need no pardon.

[@janetmarshall7171]

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT BECAUSE TRUMP WILL DO THE SAME!! AND AND HE KNOWS IT!!

no views for a reason no one cares.

[@glenn7177]

Yes KJP things have changed ... Kamabla-bla-bla didn't win ... so she can't pardon Hunter the little con ... so now oBribem has to do it.

[@johngunter8838]

Treasonable traitors

[@daveparker5569]

Good idea. Every President from here on will have free run of the Office. And preemptively pardon long lists of accomplices as they leave office. That will be a huge benefit for President Trump!

[@albertoserrano67]

Pardon everyone 😂

[@elizabethrodriguez5049]

Yes , great focus.

[@williamroyer4669]

Let's give up on the pardons. No, get out of jail free cards 👎

You can't. It's in the Constitution and would take 2/3rds of the people/states to change it. And, that would never happen.

Should be a law that requires the incoming president’s approval on any actions after the election.

Why? An incoming president can't make any decisions or approvals until he's sworn in. What a dumb comment.

[@LargeDude2023]

@@Chryssye4 what an asinine comment you made . That’s why I said make a law.

[@Chryssye4]

@@LargeDude2023 Your comment is asinine. Why should an incoming president be able to approve or not approve a decision made by the current sitting president? If an incoming decides he doesn't like the outgoing's decision, who then makes the final decision? That would effectively make the incoming a co-president and we don't have co-presidents.

[@richardleirer]

No signaling, just indict all 3. If Biden pardons, the people need to take action.
