Biden White House Adds Another Name to Potential “Preemptive Pardon” List

Earlier this week, we brought you a report that Joe Biden is considering issuing blanket pardons for individuals who haven’t been (officially) accused of any crimes yet.

If you missed it, here’s that report:

REPORT: Biden Considers Preemptive Pardons Before Trump Takes Office — Here’s Who Is on the List

The list includes names like Anthony Fauci, Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney.

Now, another name has reportedly been added to the potential "preemptive pardon" (as they're calling it) list: Gen. Mark Milley.

As you may recall, Gen. Milley made secret phone calls, behind the president's back, to China just before the 2020 Election and shortly after the January 6th Capitol protests.

He never faced any consequences for this apparent act of treason, and maintains that nothing "inappropriate" was discussed during the phone calls...

And yet, if this were true, why is the Biden regime suddenly discussing a pardon? If he truly did nothing wrong?

Mark Milley engaged in 1 of the purest forms of Treason known to the public

He called China’s military behind the President’s back and said he would not attack them if given the order by the President

That’s effectively a military coup

He needs to be brought to justice pic.twitter.com/3nHi9TqxGW

Come on … you all can see the irony in this … one traitor (@JoeBiden) pardoning another traitor (@DeptofDefense Milley)!

And @BarackObama just gave a speech on how Republicans, who haven’t had the Presidential seat over the past 4 years, are politicizing the legal system.… pic.twitter.com/tqxcNNgC2i

Last year, President Trump called Gen. Milley's secret phone calls to China a "treasonous act" that would have been punished by death in the past!

Here's that post, for reference:

The New York Post reported:

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen. Mark Milley a pre-emptive pardon over fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration will go after the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The potential pardon for Milley, who was the nation’s highest-ranking military officer for part of Trump’s first term, was reported by the Washington Post Thursday.

Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

During a September 2021 congressional grilling, Milley admitted to calling Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army to tell him that he would personally warn China in the event of a US attack during Trump’s waning days in office.

Milley claimed he placed the phone call because US intelligence showed China was worried about an impending strike and he wanted to allay the US adversary’s fears.

Axios added:

Former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Mark Milley is among those the White House is considering for preemptive pardons before President-elect Trump takes office.

The big picture: President Biden has discussed the possibility with staff, Axios is told. But there's no consensus proposal or list. As we told you yesterday, others being mentioned include Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci.

Why it matters: The preemptive move would be a novel and risky use of the president's extraordinary constitutional power, AP reports.

• White House lawyers are discussing pardons for people who haven't even been investigated, let alone charged.
• Biden's team fears Trump and his allies, who have boasted of enemies lists and exacting "retribution," could launch investigations that would be reputationally and financially costly for their targets, even if they don't result in prosecutions.
