President Joe Biden preemptively pardoned former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Retired Gen. Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and members of the January 6 Committee — with just hours left in his administration.
In a statement released Monday morning at 7 a.m. — just several hours before President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, the White House issued a statement from Biden touting them “dedicated, selfless public servants.”
He claimed he believed in the rule of law, but said, “But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing.”
House Oversight Committee Republicans reminded Americans that Biden also pardoned his son Hunter Biden — which the outgoing president had told the country he would not do:
Joe Biden will be remembered for using his last few weeks in office to shield his son from the law and protect himself.
Biden’s statement said in full:
Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day. They are the lifeblood of our democracy.
Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties.
In certain cases, some have even been threatened with criminal prosecutions, including General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, and the members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.

This PROVES THEY WERE GUILTY OF CRIMES!! PROVES IT!!
Nothing proves the Rat Criminal Enterprise like pre-emptive pardons.
once again, I am utterly outraged . . . Fauci and Milley for
God’s sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let all the corrupt pardons be the epitaph inscribed on Biden’s grave.
You beat me to it. If they did nothing wrong, at all, that would show up in investigation, and Trump would look like the idiot. This is basically a admission they broke some major laws that could land them in prison.
I hope they enjoy it because Biden’s actions opened Pandora’s Box and unleashed a torrent of unprotected legalities against these ‘people’.
It proves it to us. But we already knew they were guilty.
President Trump should pull any security clearances of those pardoned.
At some point, legal and street legal will completely diverge
Well I for one can’t wait for the howl and cry when Trump starts issuing the same types of pardons in a few years.
All the non violent J6 political prisoners for starters.
Pardons for me, but not for thee.
What about state and civil charges?
(Pardon only covers Fed charges)
Now the WORLD KNOWS!!
Also, would that include Liz Cheney?
We’re there any seriously violent protestors? The only people who died were protestors and one cop who died from completely unrelated health problems
Cancel this morning WH nonsense meeting just tell Pres jill evil McBiden and that senile fool to leave now .
Not even legal, I suspect they could be overturned as these are “preemptive”...
Remove all there security clearances now .
Ban them from any access .
Remove Pensions .
Yes, it is legal. Do a little research and you will see that it has been done numerous times throughout our history.
