. . ."The last thing I would do is let congresspeople ask the questions because the politicians will just bloviate and bluster. Instead, Republicans need to find the sharpest, best prosecutors in America to make sure that Fauci, Cheney, Milley, et al. tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, with no hiding behind squirrely language or bad memories."
. . ."Naturally, Biden wrapped the pardons in language saying that the people pardoned would be unfairly persecuted:
Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day. They are the lifeblood of our democracy.
Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties.
In certain cases, some have even been threatened with criminal prosecutions, including General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, and the members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. 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.
"This is rich coming from an administration that, working on its own and in conjunction with corrupt state prosecutors and even corrupt bar associations, did everything possible to destroy anyone who was or worked for Trump. It’s also the same administration that has conducted a Soviet-style purge against almost 2,000 Americans for daring to assemble at the Capitol and, when the Capitol police opened the Capitol’s sealed doors, walking reverently through the building.
"But aside from the disgusting hypocrisy and the problem of pardoning a military officer who could rightly be charged with treason for boasting that he would consult with the Chinese before following an order from his Commander-in-Chief, there’s a greater danger in what Biden did with his preemptive pardons.
"Our nation is founded on the Rule of Law. Our Constitution is the bulwark for a government that is constrained by a contract with the People and the legal principles that flow from that contract. However, Biden created a new precedent that undercuts the rule of law entirely and unleashes the executive branch in a way that threatens to undermine the Constitution." . . .
