President Biden’s pardon’s going out the door…..

We give the people he DID pardon below…..

But?

Hmmmm?

 

President Joe Biden on Monday issued preemptive pardons for three of his siblings and two of their spouses, citing concerns that they will be targeted by “baseless and politically motivated investigations.”

The White House announced the pardons just minutes before President-elect Donald Trump entered the Capitol Rotunda to be sworn in as the next commander in chief.

Earlier Monday, Biden preemptively pardoned a number of other figures — including Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milleyand members of Congress who investigated the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — on similar grounds.

Biden’s final batch of pardons included his brother, James Biden; James’ wife, Sara Jones Biden; his younger sister, Valerie Biden Owens; Owens’ husband, John Owens; and his other brother, Francis Biden.

“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement.

He also pardoned Gerald Lundergan, the former chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party, and former South Carolina Councilman Ernest Cromartie. The departing president also commuted the life sentence of Leonard Peltier, who was convicted of killing two FBI agents in 1975.

One reason Biden and his legal advisers may have eschewed pardons for prosecutors and judges is that they may have concluded that pardon protection was unnecessary in light of long-standing immunity principles for certain officials in the judicial system. The Supreme Court has held that prosecutors and judges have broad immunity for anything they do in their official capacities.

Still, the absence of prosecutors and judges on Biden’s list of pardons was notable because he did issue a slew of preemptive pardons to other public officials on whom Trump has vowed to seek revenge, including former public health official Anthony Fauci and former Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, as well as the members and staff of the House special committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection….
