Deep dives

Consequences of Preemptive Pardons

The discussion centers on the recent preemptive pardons issued by Joe Biden to various individuals prior to Trump’s inauguration, raising eyebrows over the implications of such actions. These pardons go beyond individuals with pending charges or convictions, potentially undermining the integrity of the judicial system. The speaker highlights the hypocrisy of Biden's stance on prior pardons, where he criticized similar actions, yet proceeded to engage in them himself. This inconsistency opens up avenues for Congress to investigate the pardoned individuals regarding their possible involvement in the events surrounding January 6th.
