Before leaving office, former President Joe Biden granted pardons to several prominent figures, a move widely considered both strategic and shrewd in shielding them from potential actions under the Trump administration.\n
However, this decision carries significant risks and could potentially backfire.\n
The individuals who received pardons include Liz Cheney, a Republican congresswoman from Wyoming and co-chair of the January 6th Committee; Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading infectious disease expert central to the COVID-19 response; and General Mark Milley, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.\n
In a statement released on Monday, Biden remarked, \u201cThese public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.\u201d\n
\nImplication is that they needed the pardons\u2026 So, let\u2019s call them all before Congress and demand the truth. If they refuse or lie – let\u2019s test the constitutional \u201creach\u201d of these pardons with regard to their future actions. https:\/\/t.co\/Cu12JRTFhg\n

Critics argue that these pardons could erode trust in the justice system.\n
\nThe pardons are actually great news. No one who was just pardoned will be able to refuse to testify in a civil, criminal, or congressional proceeding based upon the 5th Amendment.\n
And let\u2019s just be realistic. Most of these disgusting individuals would probably have to be\u2026\n
