Biden scorns the rule of law with last-day pardons \u2014 especially for Fauci<\/a><\/h1>\n

\u201cI believe in the rule of law,\u201d President Biden announced Monday morning, but<\/em> \u201cthese are exceptional circumstances<\/a>, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing\u201d \u2014 and so he detonated the rule of law on his last morning in the White House by pardoning every Biden kinfolk with sticky fingers for foreign windfalls, any member of Congress who demagogued on the Jan. 6 committee and retired Gen. Mark Milley.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The family pardons \u2014 for his brother James Biden and his wife, his brother Frank Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband \u2014 are beyond ripe: The exiting prez declared that his relatives have been \u201csubjected to unrelenting attacks and threats,\u00a0motivated solely\u00a0by a desire to hurt me \u2014 the worst kind of partisan politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSolely\u201d?!? The US Treasury Department has received at\u00a0least 150 Suspicious\u00a0Activity Reports on Biden kinfolk\u2019s dubious dealings. The term \u201cBiden Crime Family\u201d is redundant.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the most shocking pardon went to Anthony Fauci.<\/p>\n

Fauci has been widely accused of giving false testimony on Capitol Hill, and it would have been no stunner if Biden gave him a \u201cGet Out of Congressional Lies Free\u201d pass. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

But the now ex-president went further, giving a blanket 10-plus-year whitewash to rival Hunter Biden\u2019s \u2014 \u201cfull and unconditional pardon for any offenses against the United States which he may have committed or taken part in during the periods form January 1, 2014, through the date of his pardon arising from or in any manner related to his service as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force or the White House COVID-19 Response Team, or as Chief Medical Advisor to the President.\u201d<\/p>\n

That presumably covers any funding, licit or illicit, that Fauci helped deliver to the Wuhan Institute of Virology or other laboratories that engaged in risky gain-of-function or bioweapons research \u2014 which the Obama administration banned in 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So Dr. \u201cI Represent Science\u201d Fauci is off the hook for bankrolling reckless research in China, which, thanks to a lab leak, may have resulted in 7 million dead around the world.<\/p>\n

Commented Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY): \u201cIf there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden\u2019s pardon of Fauci forever seals<\/a> the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, Biden on Monday declared that acceptance should not \u201cbe misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet his own Justice Department last month announced that any Jan. 6 defendant who accepts a pardon will be making \u201ca confession of guilt<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fauci is continuing his weasel ways, justifying taking the pardon because the possibility of prosecution \u201ccreates immeasurable and intolerable distress<\/a> on me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

What of the distress suffered by the survivors of the millions who died thanks to the reckless research Fauci bankrolled in China?<\/p>\n

Or those who suffered thanks to policies he supported, from an illegal vaccine mandate and the wrongful firing of scores of thousands of people who chose not to get vaxxed, to school shutdowns that blighted millions of childhoods, to the \u00a0pointless lockdowns that led to soaring rates of suicide, alcoholism and drug abuse? Not to mention the pervasive coverups of other COVID frauds and follies.<\/p>\n

Though Biden subverted justice with his pre-emptive pardon, his decree could pave a path to truth.<\/p>\n

As Politico writers noted, Biden\u2019s pardon recipients \u201cwill actually be more vulnerable<\/a> to being compelled to testify to Congress\u201d since they now can\u2019t plead the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination when they face no criminal peril.<\/p>\n

\u201cImplication is that they needed the pardons,\u201d commented Rep. Chip Roy<\/a> (R-Texas), \u201cSo, let\u2019s call them all before Congress and demand the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the Fauci pardon, Biden bolstered an Impunity Democracy in which government officials pay no price for their crimes.<\/strong> Trump officials and congressional investigators should speedily and ruthlessly open the files to expose any and all of Fauci\u2019s abuses of power.<\/p>\n

Fauci may be legally untouchable, but that can\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t prevent damning revelations that could obliterate Fauci\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

In December 2020, shortly before he was sworn in as president, Joe Biden scorned the idea of preemptive pardons because of the \u201ckind of precedent it sets, and how the rest of the world looks at us as a nation of laws and justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Has any president in history done more than Joe Biden to destroy<\/em> America\u2019s reputation as a nation of laws?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
