President-elect Donald Trump Blows Up Joe Biden’s Pardon Plan
In a recent interview with “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker, Trump was asked if he would seek retribution against his political enemies, including President Joe Biden. Trump responded, “I’m really looking to make our country successful, not to exact vengeance.”
This statement is a blow to President Biden, who had reportedly been considering granting preemptive pardons to a slew of Trump’s adversaries, including Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former NIH Director Dr. Anthony Fauci. These proposed pardons are intended to protect them from potential prosecution and to punish those who dared to challenge Trump.
However, Trump’s statement suggests that he is not interested in seeking retribution, but rather wants to focus on making the country successful. This flies in the face of Democratic suggestions that Trump is bent on vengeance and will use the Department of Justice to punish his enemies.
The article argues that the proposed blanket pardons are an “offensive idea” and a “smokescreen” to distract from the real issues facing the country. It also suggests that Biden may be trying to bury pardons for his family members, including his son Hunter, who was pardoned earlier, and other family members who have been cited by the House Oversight Committee for their involvement in Hunter’s activities.
The article concludes that Trump’s statement poses a significant threat to Biden’s plan and highlights the need for accountability for past wrongdoings. It also criticizes the legacy media for failing to hold government officials to account and for instead operating as “wingmen” for the Democratic National Committee. Finally, it expresses hope that the recent election results will mark a turning point towards greater accountability and justice.
