Biden issues preemptive pardons for Milley, Fauci and Jan. 6 committee members | CNN Politics

    President Joe Biden on Monday issued preemptive pardons for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, using extraordinary executive prerogative as a shield against revenge by his incoming successor, Donald Trump.

    The pardons, coming in the final hours of Biden’s presidency, amount to a stunning flex of presidential power that is unprecedented in recent presidential history. They serve to protect several outspoken critics of the incoming president, including former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, whom Trump has vowed retribution against.

    1. SS: The most authoritarian and lawless regime in US history just tried to cover its tracks with unprecedented presidential pardons. Disgusting.

      And if you look at the tantrums trump can throw and his dictator on day 1 crap, this is a very good thing.

      So when Trump pardons the January 6 people we’re assuming they’re guilty right?

      Notice how Biden did this at last minute on the way out the door. Down-to -the-wire tactics of Biden imply guilt of the pardoned and says much about Joe’s complicit involvement
