Deep dives
Biden's Preemptive Pardons
The discussion centers around Joe Biden's recent pardon for his son, Hunter Biden, and the potential for preemptive pardons for others like Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney in light of Donald Trump's retribution campaign. Critics argue that Biden’s actions reflect a lawless presidency, yet the real concern is the political environment that necessitates such measures. The narrative differentiates between Biden's pardoning approach and Trump's history of pardoning individuals involved in criminal activities related to his presidency. The underlying issue is not the pardons themselves, but the context of political persecution that drives Biden to consider them.
