Pardoning people who haven't been convicted of anything makes a mockery of the idea we're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.

Malloy is an ass.

In hindsight, and considering Donnie and his Barbie AG's vindicative prosecution spree, Biden should have issued MORE pardons.

Also: I don’t think a lot of elite Dems are planning on deflecting hypocrisy charges much when this happens. They are taking it as a given that he’s gonna do blanket federal pardons. They also know that in that case, local and state prosecutions of trump officials et al. are an uphill climb…

Trump was going to do this anyway, and Biden knew he would treat the DOJ as his personal retribution agency, which he has. So two different things entirely. I know it gives Trump an excuse, but since when has a lack of justification stopped him?

Were any of the people Biden pardoned even part of his Administration? That seems like a pretty relevant detail for this both sides garbage.

The blanket of Trump's blanket pardon will bigger than the tarp at Wrigley Field. It will cover every political appointee, plus ICE and other LEOs, and more. Iow, it will cover thousands of people.

(I even started drafting one last year)

Biden wasn't protecting criminal activity. He protected the good people.

Question is, would it be better or worse than if the J6 committee, or Fauci, were incriminated for doing their jobs.
