President Joe Biden confirmed in an interview with USA Today that he is considering preemptive pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney.
Following Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter (after months of insisting he would not do so), Politico reported that the president was considering pardoning those he thinks President-elect Donald Trump may target, including Fauci, Cheney and Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff. Biden told USA Today that he has not made a decision on whether or not he will pardon them in his last 12 days in office and that it depends on who Trump appoints to his cabinet.

“Well, a little bit of it depends on who he puts in what positions. If in fact, he … here’s how … I was very straightforward with Trump when he got elected. I invited him immediately to the White House. I spent two hours with him,” the president said about the preemptive pardons.
“He talked about, he was very complimentary about some of the economic things I had done. And he talked about − he thought I was leaving with a good record, kind of thing. I tried to make it clear that there was no need, and it was counterintuitive for his interest to go back and try to settle scores,” he added.
USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page asked the president if Trump gave him an answer on what he planned on doing once sworn in to office. Biden said he did not give him an answer and “just basically listened.”
“So you haven’t decided yet. You’re still assessing this issue?” Page asked.
“Well, no, I have not. For example, I think there are certain people like, if he were to, I don’t want to name their names. I’ll tell you off the record. [REDACTED]. But there are other parties that we’re following through on to determine that, rectifying some of the, correcting powder-cocaine difference, things like that,” the president responded. USA Today redacted information told to the outlet off the record.
“More traditional kind of pardons,” Page followed up.
“Yeah,” Biden responded.
A May 2024 report from the House Oversight Committee showed that David Morens, a former senior adviser to Fauci, both deleted emails to evade Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and told people multiple times to contact him at his personal email address to get around such requests. The aide also suggested in his emails, obtained by the House committee, that Fauci uses a private email address to conduct his government business. Similarly, Morens told others to communicate with Fauci at a private email address for similar reasons.

“This is very illegal,” Matthew Hardin, a lawyer specializing in issues related to FOIA, previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“The Federal Records Act has strict requirements for preserving agency records in the agency’s custody for various reasons, including for purposes of facilitating the agency’s compliance with the Freedom of Information Act,” he continued. “This means that anybody conducting agency business through a ‘secret’ back channel or through Gmail is still creating a federal record, even if they are wrongfully concealing that record on a personal account instead of the government’s custody.”

He is just a little shit. He will rot in hell with Joe
Well if they get pardons they must have commented crimes.
No one is above the law??? Well, it sure seems this is NOT true by the number of pardons this puppet is handing out! There must be a way to undo these – Where might we find that information? This is just more reason NOT to trust the people in the government – and BTW STOP calling them “The Honorable”!
The scamdemic goes deeper than the overpaid, corrupt, weasel Fauci. But if he’s pardoned after millions have died from CDC hospital protocols using Remdesivir or the gene therapy jabs masquerading as vaccines, that only indicates they were all guilty of crimes against humanity.
We all see how the federal government is going,wars,corruption, and poor handeling of our money! We all see how our State of Maine is going, poor handling of our tax money, major increase in crime, shootings, illegal weed growing, and poor leadership with illegals voting and no answers from lawmakers. What is in common? Democrats in charge!
Next time vote for any one but a Democrat.
the comments I read are right on point, but here is the real issue votes across the country keep voting in DemocRATs-Communists and all of us are paying for it. Just as Sandy said ” Next time vote for any one but a Democrat.“
Fauci is guilty of crimes against humanity,millions have died from his continuing experiments. This is one man who is not deserving of any kind of pardons from Joe or anybody else.Millions more will die from Mrna gene splicing in the future in a bid to limit population..
Even the senile pedophile knows who is guilty of crimes.
Why would you have to pardon someone that is innocent and has not been charged with any crimes??? Is it because he is guilty of crimes against humanity humanity?
Does a president, including Biden, actually have the authority to grant immunity to someone in advance for a possible legal problem? I doubt it.
Sounds like a preemptive favor for these individuals since he knows they are guilty. Same deal for his son for the “whatever” he did during the last ten+ years. These actions belong in a comedic film noir farce horror film. I know it’s a fanciful genre, but so is Biden.
we know he lied to congress and to the executive branch. But He’ll never be charged
Why??? What did Fauci do?? Guilty of what? Being Mr. Science? Maybe he should pardon himself for showering with his prepubescent daughter. There’s a special place in hell reserved for ole Joe.
