President Donald Trump has given a cryptic warning that Joe Biden should have pardoned himself before he left office.

Trump made the ominous comment in his first Oval Office interview since his swearing-in on Monday.

Fox News star Sean Hannity asked Trump his thoughts on Biden's decision to give last-minute preemptive pardons to members of his own family, and some of the Republican president's political enemies.

'And you know what the funny thing, maybe the sad thing is - he didn't give himself a pardon,' Trump pointed out.

'And you look at it, it all had to do with him,' Trump added.

Trump has previously said he wants 'retribution' and that he believes Biden's Justice Department was weaponized against him and other Republicans. He was charged in four separate criminal cases in the years following his first term.

The Justice Department is supposed to act independently of the White House.

During the sit-down, Trump noted that he didn't give blanket pardons to himself or any of his allies at the end of his first stint in the White House.

Him or Dr Jill?

[ridesthemiles]

BOTH

[Morgana]

and “Giggles” Kamala?

[Salvavida]

That will force a “not mentally capable” of standing trial diagnosis. Which in turn, will start an investigation as to why the 25th Amendment wasn’t instituted by the then-Vice President, and cabinet.

outstanding...

[frank ballenger]

Cryptic but I’m sure not too harsh.

Biden will probably order his food taster to be more thorough, though.

“Not one dish of tapioca, not one waffle cone without screening. Got it?”
“And Jill, you go out and start the limo every time. Just in case.”

Old days organized crime wife’s duty.

[Morgana]

That will drain a very large swamp

I doubt a president can pardon himself, since they already have immunity

Congress needs to investigate who was actually running the country and making the big decisions that we all know Slow Joe wasn't making. Trump can waive all executive privilege. It's a matter for historical record, and to prevent us from again having a figurehead president who doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

“The Justice Department is supposed to act independently of the White House.”

100% TOTAL LEFT WING LIE!

[rottweiller_inc]

Interesting tidbit I read earlier, that apparently when one accepts a pardon it also is seen as an acknowledgment of guilt, though how that would work with no specified crime..

[blackdog]

Well, son of a bitch......”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The DM (and all the MSM) keep painting Mr Trump as Doctor Evil who deserved everything he got and they paint Biden & DS, Inc. as pure as the driven snow.

[mbrfl]

I wonder if Trump’s DOJ will release the Hur tapes.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Old days organized crime wife’s duty.”

REALLY?? Never heard that before.

[spokeshave]

Cryptic but I’m sure not too harsh.

At least PDJT didn't use the term ..Medieval

As in Blood Eagle.

[MNJohnnie]

And if they really believe this why was the Alt Left totally silent about Biden’s weaponization of the DOJ the last 4 years?

[mbrfl]

I agree that the legality of a president pardoning himself is questionable. But as far as immunity goes, that only covers his time in office as president. It wouldn’t cover his time as VP, which is when much of the criminality took place.

[Revel]

I would not be surprised if Biden is carrying a pocket veto.

[rottweiller_inc]

Yeah but most of that is gone via statute of limitations.
