Pardons could backfire on Cheney, Fauci & others!
Biden Pardons For Cheney, Fauci, Others Could Backfire: Legal Expert
In a round of last-minute pardons aimed at shielding allies from potential reprisals by President-elect Donald Trump, President Joe Biden granted clemency to a select group of individuals—but the move is not without complications for the recipients.
Former Wyoming Republican congresswoman and Jan. 6 Committee co-chair Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci were among the limited list of pardon recipients, a gesture Biden’s aides say was intended to preempt acts of vengeance by Trump or his incoming administration.
However, legal experts were quick to point out that the pardons would not exempt either individual from having to testify under oath if subpoenaed.
Federal litigation attorney Jesse Binnall pointed out that Biden’s pardons do not shield Cheney Fauci from consequences if they lie under oath, should the GOP-controlled Congress subpoena them to testify. In his words, the pardons could be “great news” for anyone seeking to see the two prosecuted.
“The pardons are actually great news. No one who was just pardoned will be able to refuse to testify in a civil, criminal, or congressional proceeding based upon the 5th Amendment,” Binnall wrote on X, before dropping another truth bomb.
“And let’s just be realistic. Most of these disgusting individuals would probably have to be charged in Washington, DC, which doesn’t convict partisan leftists,” Binnall, also a former attorney for President Donald Trump,wrote.
Other X users offered a potential solution to the problem of liberal bias in DC, including retired U.S. Army officer, lawyer, and author Kurt Schlichter.
“This is key – the depositions and the actual testimony must take place outside of Washington DC. Washington DC is a biased venue that will not convict Democrats when they commit perjury. Accordingly, take this show on the road,” he wrote.
Others who received Sunday night pardons were former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman and Army Gen. Mark Milley, who later criticized Trump during his first term and all other members of the J6 committee.
Trump specifically addressed Biden’s pardon of Cheney while he was signing executive orders in the Oval Office on Monday in between inauguration day functions.
“I was going to talk about the things that Joe did today with the pardons of people that were very, very guilty of very bad crimes, like the unselect committee of political folks,” he told assembled reporters, referring to the Jan. 6 panel.
“Why are we doing this? Why are we trying to help a guy like Milley? Why are we helping Liz Cheney?” he asked. “I mean, Liz Cheney is a disaster. She’s a crying lunatic and crying, crying.”

Head em up and move em out!
Make them talk.
Got a tidbit, on 12/22/24 sleepy signed 6 pardons in Washington DC, only problem , he was in the Virgin Islands on 12/22/24, all 6 signatures match identical, they were done with auto pen.
Just wondering. If someone else uses an autopen to sign Biden's name to a document(s) or an order authorizing whatever, would that mean the document(s) or order is invalid because Biden himself never actually signed it? And would the person who did be guilty of forgery?
If that's the case throw trump in jail. Equal justice. Cmon now!!
* If they guilty of a real crime, yep- but going after people on a revenge tour is childish.
LB, this isn't about Trump period. It's about the corruption within the Government and Justice. Maybe you don't care about justice but I'm one who well does!
NG, the aforementioned people are corrupt as the day is long, they don't care about you or I, nor the American people. Too many people have turned their heads the other way when it comes to right or wrong for too long. I won't feel a bit sorry for them when they're brought up on charges. As far as revenge yes, the intimidation is there but it doesn't change the fact that they are corrupt and everyone with a brain can see that.
@ grwurston, that's a good question, and believe me it won't be long before we find out.
What about this news:

* Get Real MD, you tell LB that maybe he doesn�t care about justice, but you do? When law enforcement was attacked at the Capitol with some losing their lives, were you on the front line calling for those folks to be locked up? Were you glad that those same folks were pardoned & then we told maga is all for � law & order?� You have no receipts- kinda like the press secretary telling a reporter that tariffs are on the country that manufacture a goods & when called out on her ignorance asks the reporter � So who are you with?� It�s similar to being stop for running a red light & you ask the cop � so how long have you been a policeman?�
Gr......Libbies can help it....As the tested statement goes..... You want to p*ss off a Conservative Republican, tell him/her a lie. If you want to p*ss off a Liberal Democrat, tell them/they/it the truth.
Yeah CD, not knowing something makes them ignorant, not wanting to find the truth makes them stupid, and you can't fix stupid.
NG, are you that na�ve? if you and your cohorts don't see the set up by the so-called FBI on that day, then I will call you officially dumb! As far as policeman is concerned, I was with the Broward County Sheriffs Dept for two years before being drafted, so yes, I do care about justice not falsehoods as you believe! You are so deeply involved in your hatred towards the President to me, you've lost all credibility to see straight.
Meanwhile president musk I'd going to shut down social security if he gets his way.
The new norm is corruption from Trump and his ilk. Jan 6th, stormy Daniel's, fake electors, now he nosediving the economy and he loves it.
LB, I can see by you spewing your garbage, that you are Blind, Deaf and dumb. Go play in your sandbox before someone else steals your candy.
* l hate stupidity, and our President is stupid. That's not just not me saying it, it's the world. How so? Thanks for..
* If Joe had won re election and...
* Tanked the markets with tariff, started a telling Panama & Greenland & Canada that he wanted to annex them, threw hundreds of vets & federal workers out of work, attacked institutions as being worthless, changed his mind on tariffs, with it's " on & off again" in a span of 24 hours, aligned America with Putin, threw our Allies under the bus & started a trade war-All of you guys would say Biden had lost his marbles & needed to be removed from office. Yet that's exactly what we getting with 47 & you want the world to know that everything is just FINE.
* Did l say stupidity, yeah l think l did. Other nations can tell he's unhinged & they pushing back against he's madness. In his first term, people in his cabinet quit when they saw the madness, this time around he has picked die hard fans & they sticking to the playback on xtreme realty. He blames Joe any chance he gets & even goes after Reagan as though he is better President than of the aforementioned. You following a con mam because the scales haven't fallen from your eyes & we less than 2 months into this mess. History tells us that it's only going to get worse. Hope you paying attention!
