Senate Democrats ponder preemptive pardons for Trump’s political foes

Senate Democrats are weighing whether President Joe Biden should use his final moments of power to issue preemptive pardons to shield those who could receive political retribution from President-elect Donald Trump.

The conversations come against the backdrop of Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail in which he’s threatened to seek revenge on individuals he considers his political foes, referring to them as “enemies from within.”

These concerns have become even more elevated after announcing his picks for attorney general, Pam Bondi, and FBI director, Kash Patel, who have echoed Trump’s promises to imprison and prosecute political enemies who have skirted laws.

“There have certainly been discussions about this among some. How could there not be after all of the threats Trump has issued,” one Senate Democratic aide said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about the situation.

Much as I'd like to see Trump-lawfare-operative who broke laws imprisoned, their having Presidential pardons would be a thick layer of tarnish on their reputations. And since these proposed "preemptive pardons" would be given more widely than simply those who had broken laws, the tarnish would also be more widespread. Not a great consolation prize, but a little better than nothing.

This is hypothetical, of course. Whether LIEden would do this, make it the last and most prominent aspect of his Presidential legacy, he might recoil from that. Or ask for more ice cream.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Can I get (purchase?) a pre-emptive pardon for not paying my Federal taxes in perpetuity?

If Hunter Biden and 10+million illegal immigrants can commit Federal crimes with impunity, why not me and 330+million other Americans?
