The Biden Administration is considering issuing ‘preemptive pardons’ to the likes of Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci in order to stop president Trump brining indictments against them, according to a POLITICO report.
The report states that Biden’s handlers are “deeply concerned about a range of current and former officials who could find themselves facing inquiries and even indictments” under a Trump presidency.
The report further notes that the concerns have also been heightened by Trump’s announcement that Kash Patel will head up the FBI during his administration.

The White House officials are debating moving to issue issuing blanket pardons for individuals who have not yet been charged with any crimes, but they are debating whether “it could suggest impropriety, only fueling Trump’s criticisms,” as well as whether “those offered preemptive pardons may reject them.”
The report also mentions Democratic Senator Adam Schiff as a potential recipient of a preemptive pardon, but Schiff rejected the notion, stating “I would urge the president not to do that,” explaining “I think it would seem defensive and unnecessary.”
The report further notes that Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle, who is close with Biden, called for blanket pardons Wednesday, stating “This is no hypothetical threat. 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.”
Trump's choice for FBI Director, Kash Patel, has openly published an "enemies list" of people he and Trump plan to investigate and prosecute.

I’m calling on President Biden to issue a blanket pardon for anyone unjustly targeted by this vindictive scheme.

The development follows Biden pardoning his own son after repeatedly vowing not to do so.

So the new Paradigm is
1. Get elected
2. Have your people do all kinds of criminal things
3 Pardon everyone on the way out the door.
That should work out fine for America.
Why would they need pre-emptive pardons if everything they did was on the up and up? If the White House does this, it will prove that everything they did to President Trump and his allies was actually lawfare and treason!

No one is above the law. Except Dems. Not a good precedent for America.
