Joe Biden Confirms He Is Weighing Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci Preemptive Pardons
Breitbart ^ | 01/08/2025 | Wendell Husebo

President Joe Biden might give Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci preemptive pardons, according to an interview the president gave to USA Today’s Susan Page.

Receiving a preemptive pardon would indicate an admission of guilt, although some Democrats claim a preemptive pardon would only be intended to block President-elect Donald Trump from cleaning up Washington.

In the interview, Biden said preemptive pardons are on the table for his allies, including Cheney and Fauci, Page reported Wednesday:

Biden said he is considering preemptive pardons for public figures such as former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney and former senior health official Dr. Anthony Fauci who have been threatened with investigation and prosecution by incoming president Donald Trump.

When Biden met with Trump in the Oval Office a week after the November election, he urged the president-elect not to go forward with threats to target those who have criticized him or, in Cheney’s case, helped lead efforts to impeach him.

It’s hard to believe the law works like this. It seems like Biden is a retarded child.

Why not a preemptive pardon for “anyone who attacked Trump”?

This is probably been talked about before but how can he do that? Does he have to name the crime because if you just get a preemptive pardon can you just go kill people and rob banks knowing you’re already pardoned I don’t get it.

Biden has done so many things to throw roadblocks at the incoming Trump Administration, in the next 12 days, I expect the really, really, bad things he’s and his advisors are planning will be announced.

Well if he pardons, then they can be compelled to testify under oath and they can’t use 5th Amendment protection to refuse, yes? Force them to rat out all the others without pardons.

What do criminal organizations do to rats? I’m at a loss.

Good. Do it, then drag her into congress and make her articulate her crimes. From her own lips instead of a trial that never will end in prison time anyway.

People don’t like this. He can protect the few but it will be at the cost of pissing off the many.

Yes, if he pardons them then the DOJ needs to find her cohorts and charge them then call Cheney as a witness and force her to testify under oath. If she lies, boom charge her, elsewise get her to publicly admit she and her cabal committed real crimes.

Especially the libs, pardoning Cheney will only inflame and demoralize the liberal base even more.

Can Biden explain what they need to be pardoned for?

What is it they’ve done?
