What Republicans can do with all those Biden pardons
By George Walsh
Good news!
In the final hours of his failed regime, now ex-president Joe Biden issued pre-emptive pardons to General Mark “white rage” Milley, Liz Cheney, and various other malefactors.
There is no denying that this looks bad and smells worse. It’s a fact that Biden doesn’t know what executive orders are issued in his name, and we don’t know which of the six people issuing executive orders in Joe’s name chose to issue these pardons. Add to this a whiff of corruption. Many wonder if the pardons are intended to sabotage Kash Patel’s effort to investigate the FBI’s illegal activities and other Deep State abuses of power that occurred on Biden’s watch.
The good news is that Team Biden just shot itself in the foot. I am not a lawyer, but simple logic suggests that being relieved of legal responsibility doesn’t mean the people pardoned can’t be questioned about matters they have direct knowledge of. Logic also suggests that since there is no threat of jail time for testifying, none of the pardoned can shelter behind the Fifth Amendment’s protection from self-incrimination. As an added incentive, Biden’s pardons do not cover any new crimes committed after they were issued, such as lying under oath.
