Presidential Preemptive Pardons

The Constitution of the United States

Article II, Section 2, “…..and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”

What we have seen from President Biden during the final days of his presidency was anything but typical, particularly when it comes to issuing Presidential Pardons and Commutations. 

One could argue the legality of Biden’s “Preemptive” Pardons which were issued with Biden’s statement, “should not be mistaken as an acknowledgement that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.” I wouldn’t be surprised if President Trump chose to reverse these “political pardons” by executive action it could go all the way to the United States Supreme Court.

It must be noted that the Democratic Party and the Biden Administration actually conducted political warfare on President Trump, his family and his political (MAGA) supporters unlike anything seen in modern politics.

These preemptive pardons were nothing more than “hail Mary” pardons aimed at “Trump Proofing” anticipated investigations by the Trump administration into the political wrongdoings of elected and appointed officials in particular over their actions of J6, 2021.

What is particularly troubling are Biden’s “I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” statement where he clearly believes that he alone is above the law.

Where was Biden’s sense of justice during his administration’s attacks on Trump and his supporters? Why did Biden not think HIS political warfare was a bit over the line?

President Joe Biden on Monday issued pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, members of Congress who investigated the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and others who he said are under threat of being “baselessly” targeted for political purposes.

“These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions,” Biden said in a press release.

And then Biden went on to issue preemptive pardons to protect his family members from a suspected Trump DOJ investigation. Too bad Joe Biden didn’t issue a pardon for himself?

In my opinion the democrat’s public service went out the window with common sense when Donald Trump came down the escalator in Trump Tower in 2015.

History will remember Joseph R. Biden, Jr. as a bitter man who defeated Donald J. Trump in 2020, even if it was by hook and by crooks. – RTM

I am the Real Truckmaster: 1. I am a born-again Christian (a sinner saved by the grace of God). 2 I am a retired US Army Transportation Sergeant First Class (E-7), my last position of assignment was as the "Truckmaster" of the US Army Transportation Motor Pool in Yokohama Japan (1989-90). 3. I am an amateur military historian. 4. I am a Thailand Veteran of the Vietnam War. 5. I detest "Politics as Usual". 6. I'm pro-life (Abortion is murder) and there is no justification or excuse for it. 7. I believe that we must place the security and welfare of America First! Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion. I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump. There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience. My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!

  2. Jonathan Turley, the grand Pooh-Bah of all things law say’s these preemptive pardons are garbage, a smokescreen in hopes that it will throw the DOJ off the scent. Biden’s entire family was in on the game, and the J6 folks are all criminals for deleting and manufacturing evidence. I say, let the trials begin.
