President Joe Biden on Monday pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential "revenge" by
the incoming Trump administration.
The decision by Biden comes after Donald Trump warned of
an enemies list filled with those who have crossed him politically or sought to hold him accountable for his attempt
to overturn his 2020 election loss and his role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump has selected Cabinet nominees who backed his election lies and who have pledged to punish those involved in efforts to investigate him.
"The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense," Biden said in a statement. "Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country."
The pardons, announced with just hours left in his presidency, have been the subject of heated debate for months at the highest levels of the White House. It's customary for a president to grant clemency at the end of his term, but those acts of mercy are usually offered to Americans who have been convicted of crimes. Biden has used the power in the broadest and most untested way possible: to pardon those who have not even been investigated yet. The decision lays the groundwork for an even more expansive use of pardons by Trump and future presidents.
Comment: Why the last-minute pardons if Covid-19 wasn't an engineered US biological weapon, if Milley didn't organize the January 6th coup to prevent Trump exercising his authority to 'block the steal', and if the J6 Committee didn't slap a pseudo-legal seal on it?
