There’s been a lot of talk about presidential pardon powers. The Constitution arguably failed to properly limit those powers but it did place one clear limitation on them.
The presidential pardon power is not meant to be used in exactly the way that Biden is now trying to use it. Specifically the president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
Biden or rather his advisers and allies are plotting to hand out preemptive pardons.
President Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with the discussions.
The White House officials, however, are carefully weighing the extraordinary step of handing out blanket pardons to those who’ve committed no crimes, both because it could suggest impropriety, only fueling Trump’s criticisms, and because those offered preemptive pardons may reject them.
The deliberations touch on pardoning those currently in office, elected and appointed, as well as former officials who’ve angered Trump and his loyalists.
Democrats, the White House and the media, as well as Joe Biden, assured us that when he gave a full pardon to Hunter Biden, it was just about the gun and tax charges, rather than blanket coverage for all crimes. In fact it was a blanket pardon for all crimes.
Biden associates appear to have used Hunter as a trojan horse to just hand out the same pardons to themselves.
Revealingly, they’re talking about this to each other and the media before even mentioning it to Biden.
The West Wing deliberations have been organized by White House counsel Ed Siskel but include a range of other aides, including chief of staff Jeff Zients. The president himself, who was intensely focused on his son’s pardon, has not been brought into the broader pardon discussions yet, according to people familiar with the deliberations.
Why bother? He’s just the president. He doesn’t need to know until they stick the paper in front of his nose.
This is why there needed to be a 25th amendment intervention. Right now people in the White House can get a man who’s legally the president to sign off on anything and everything… including blanket pardons for all.
That is a violation of the intended purpose of presidential pardon powers.
Specifically, Biden has turned pardons into a “Get out of Jail card” where political officials associated with an administration can’t be arrested or tried for their crimes because they have a political card. This is banana republic stuff, more specifically it’s Tammany Hall stuff.
In my book, ‘Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against The Left’, there’s a scene where a Tammany Hall leader in New York describes just such a card.
Tammany Hall nominations came from “a few unprincipled blackguards” along with “favored thieves who receive indulgences from the police judges and officers to commit a certain number of crimes without molestation, in consideration of the valuable political services which they render” a Tammany political contender claimed in a speech to the organization.
You might have seen this depicted in fiction, but it was real. And the party is trying to bring it back.
This is the same movie played over and over. democrats do something outrageous, suffer no consequences
from republicans, and are emboldened to something else outrageous. Why not just continue doing whatever they want ?
They can get a pardon, but they can’t escape the Karmic consequences of their actions. For me, that includes the painful remembrances of past mistakes and consequences.
But they have no conscience ro speak of. Psychopathy may include fear but not remorse.
Yes, you have to pay for what you do. people think they can get away with their sins but they cannot,
That shit is going to catch up with you,
Treason cannot be pardoned.
Using one’s political office for paid favors to foreign governments is treason.
Yet another example of why GOP was remiss not to impeach Biden when they had the chance.
Trouble in Boston their Mayor is going on about a Sanctuary City and sneering their nose in Trumps Face over this the whole City Council and Mayor of Boston should a ll be arrested and charged with Harboring the Enemy and get Life in Prison
” those offered preemptive pardons may reject them.”
Will the Hunter Biden pardon backfire?

Esteemed Constitutional attorney and professor of law, Alan Dershowitz lays it out – a Presidential Pardon is not what it seems – and one cannot refuse a Presidential Pardon –
Hunter Biden is still not out of the woods –
Pre-emptive Presidential Pardons is not like the “Minority Report” pre-crime – there has to be a conviction with a sentence pending or someone is sentenced and serving time.
Mostly it’s for the latter. Someone is serving time.
Getting real tired of the AI pics. What happened to photography?
Copyright trolls happened.
What the fuck does that mean? You can put up any photo or image you want.
I don’t expect Ole Joe ever reads what he’s signing. For instance, I’m sure in 2021 those multitude of orders Joe signed were never reviewed by him, all he needed to hear was, this voids a Trump order and Biden signed without looking. Now I wonder how many blank pardons he signed. When can we expect to see them on E-Bay with maybe, an order 3 and get one free deal?
All preemptive pardons are unconstitutional thereby illegal. A pardon requires a conviction which is an offense to the laws of the United States Article II, Section 2, Clause 1. Also case law by the court declares this in Young vs. United States, 97 U.S. 39, 66 (1877)-(“But if there is no offense against the laws of the United States, there can be no pardon by the President.”). Trump’s DOJ can and should just appoint Matt Gaetz as Special Prosecutor and investigate thoroughly all crimes by Obama, Biden, Hillary, and all other deep state criminals for the last 16 years of the Obama and Biden administrations. Find a Trump appointed judge and begin the process of indictments that Dems will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Trump will win and their will be a little of jailbirds being hauled away to prison. Do what the Dems did to conservatives. What goes around comes around. Sometimes the only way to stop the weaponization of the federal government agencies and presidents. The difference is these are real crimes against the people of the United States who elected Trump!
We need a NEW AMENDMENT! The ELECTED PRESIDENT should TAKE OFFICE on the Wednesday of November after the First Tuesday after the First Monday! This means that on WEDNESDAY after Tuesday Election Day the ELECTED PRESIDENT takes CHARGE! If the incumbent loses then his authority to do ANYTHING ends! If the incumbent wins then he carries on! This would force an incumbent to make any moves/pardons/wars before Election Day so that the PEOPLE can VOTE knowing the TRUE INTENT of the incumbent! I doubt it will fly, but wait till next time!! If the DEMOcrats think they can steal ANOTHER White House they’ll push the Amendment if the R’s bring it up now!
That’s a clever idea. Would put an end to week long vote counts.
Of Biden is too incompetent to go to court isn’t he too incompetent to be handing out pardons and running the country?
