Looks like Biden aides are considering blanket pardons.
For who?
Well, for those that they think that President Donald Trump will seek to bring to justice once Jan 20 rolls around.
They started to freak out once they heard President Trump’s FBI pick was Kash Patel.
You see, Patel is vowing to go after Trump detractors.
So potential pardons would include Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, and Anthony Fauci.
Think a simple pardon from Biden’s Administration will keep them safe and tie up Trump’s hands?
What happens when his administration is exposed as a fraudulent? Then what becomes of those ‘pardons’?
Tensions are rising by the day as we walk towards Inauguration Day.

Biden aides mulling 'preemptive pardons' for Dr. Fauci, Liz Cheney

Washington Examiner reports:
Senior aides to President Joe Biden have reportedly been considering the prospect of issuing blanket pardons to certain officials in the wake of the president’s controversial pardon of his son, Hunter.
The aides are alarmed by President-elect Donald Trump’s choice of Kash Patel for FBI director given his past statements that he would seek out Trump’s detractors, Politico reported, citing senior Democrats. They worry officials could be subject to inquiries or indictments for their past statements or actions.
Those considered for pardons include Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA) and former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, both members of the Jan. 6 committee. Former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci, who has been extensively criticized by many on the right, has been considered for a pardon as well, according to the outlet.
The aides discussing the pardons reportedly include White House counsel Ed Siskel and chief of staff Jeff Zients, among others.
Congressional Democrats have taken a quiet role in spurring the recent conversations, though they haven’t been lobbying for pardons themselves.
“If it’s clear by January 19 that [revenge] is his intention, then I would recommend to President Biden that he provide those preemptive pardons to people, because that’s really what our country is going to need next year,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) said on WGBH last week.
House Democrat Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) recently issued a direct plea to Biden to issue the blanket pardons. “This is no hypothetical threat,” Boyle said in a statement. “The time for cautious restraint is over. We must act with urgency to push back against these threats and prevent Trump from abusing his power.”

In light of all that, let’s see when Democrats were saying the exact opposite a few years ago, in regards to President Trump.
Biden is now considering preemptive pardons, including one for Adam Schiff.
That makes this clip one of the best ever. 🤣

I recall someone saying ‘Nothing can stop what is coming.’
That probably includes pardons.
