President Joe Biden, with just a little over a month to go before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated, just pulled off the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history,” according to the White House itself.“Today, President Biden announced that he is granting clemency to nearly 1,500 Americans — the most ever in a single day — who have shown successful rehabilitation and a strong commitment to making their communities safer,” the White House release boasted.

“The President is commuting the sentences of close to 1,500 individuals who were placed in home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities.“He is also pardoning 39 individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes.“These actions represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.”

This pardon frenzy comes just a little over a week after Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, on Dec. That particular pardon set off a frenzy of criticism, with many pointing out that Biden had long said he would not pardon his son, so that the legal process could play out.(Other critics have also noted that the time frame of Hunter’s sweeping pardon helps cover Joe’s own tracks from when he was a vice president.)Is Biden issuing too many pardons?

The move was an unpopular one across the board, with the Associated Press noting that Hunter’s pardon had a roughly 20 percent approval rating.Despite that unpopularity, the president appears set to double down on the move.The White House release made clear to take a very braggadocious tone.

It would be prudent for Biden to limit any pardons to his immediate family members. During his appearance on NBC News’ Meet journalism on December 8, Trump clarified that he had no strategies to designate a special private investigator to probe Joe Biden, in spite of Biden’s eagerness to browse Mar-a-Lago under the auspices of Jack Smith, the special counsel by the Biden administration to pursue federal charges versus Trump.

Despite the extreme opposition from the Deep State towards Donald Trump given that his very first inauguration in 2017, the Biden administration’s leading authorities are now seeking pardons, exposing their concern that a 2nd Trump presidency will bring responsibility and repercussions for their past actions. Those currently asking for pardons are motivated by their understanding of their own misdeeds and fear that the upcoming release of categorized details by the new Trump administration will expose their misdeeds to the general public.

What Obama fears is that Biden might be persuaded to release a sweeping set of Deep State pardons to a list that would include different high-level Obama administration authorities like former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former Attorney General James Comey who possibly could be required to supply harmful criminal testimony versus him.

A governmental pardon does not waive an individual’s Fifth Amendment right versus self-incrimination for future criminal activities. But an individual accepting a pardon (including Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and Hunter Biden, or anybody else so pardoned) can be forced to affirm truthfully about the pardoned criminal offenses considering that they are no longer at risk of prosecution under federal law. As soon as pardoned, the Fifth Amendment benefit does not apply to providing testimony against others for the pardoned criminal activities given that the pardoned individual no longer needs Fifth Amendment protection from a self-incrimination risk that is no longer appropriate.

To put it simply, just to be clear, please comprehend that by accepting a pardon, a person has admitted guilt to the pardoned criminal offense, a precedent the Supreme Court developed in 1915’s Burdick v. United States. This fact, without any other evidence, provides the DOJ and the FBI a probative cause to begin a new investigation by talking to and questioning the pardoned individual under oath. All a DOJ or FBI official would need to do is to put a notepad in front of the pardoned person and ask that individual to enumerate all crimes committed, plus requiring the pardoned individual to provide the names and details of all criminal accomplices involved.

President Gerald Ford set the precedent for a preemptive pardon (i.e., a pardon before any offense has actually been charged) with his Proclamation 4311, released on September 8, 1974, granting a pardon to his predecessor, Richard Nixon, who resigned in disgrace, ending the Watergate affair, on August 9, 1974. Ford justified the preemptive pardon because Nixon’s trial “might not relatively begin until a year or more has actually elapsed.” Ford reasoned that in that time, “the harmony to which this country has actually been restored by the occasions of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the potential customers of bringing to trial a former President of the United States.”

However the idea of approving a long list of Deep State political actors a blanket pardon for all criminal activities they may have committed, outlined to devote, or contemplated to devote, reaching back to 2009, the year Obama first took office, would extend the precedent of the Nixon pardon back 15 years, to politically unacceptable levels incorporating all the years of Democratic governmental rule considering that President George W. Bush. The tranquility Ford sought to preserve by the Nixon pardon is not suitable with the angry, vituperative reaction a blanket pardon of Obama/Biden operatives may have committed, especially if Hillary and Bill Clinton blanket pardons were to be thrown into the mix.

A four-year-old Law Stack Exchange note argued that “(p)proactively pardoning large swaths of existing and former government officials, relative and other people connected to the Trump administration would be a double-edged sword” because “it might likewise total up to confessing that the Trump administration was essentially a criminal company.”

Wouldn’t the very same logic apply to the Obama and Biden administrations and to the term Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state and Democratic Party governmental candidate? Are previous Presidents Bill Clinton and Joe Biden, previous Vice President Joe Biden, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton all willing to confess their terms in office were criminal affairs?

Other lawfare conversations argued vociferously in 2020 that President Trump did not have the power to release a self-pardon. Nor exists any restriction in the Constitution from impeaching President Biden even though his status is now a lame duck.

A sweeping amnesty initiative aimed at protecting a significant conspiracy within the Deep State might possibly entangle Biden in a perceived continuous and perhaps treasonous plot to subvert the democratic procedure, undermining the result of the current presidential election and the will of the American people.

One constitutional limitation of the presidential pardon authority is that it can not be utilized in impeachment cases. So, in the last analysis, the House of Representatives might impeach Biden for “high criminal offenses and misdemeanors” for abusing the pardon authority, forcing him to stand trial in the Senate (perhaps even after the 2nd Trump inauguration on January 25, 2025).

The truth is that the Deep State went too far in the “woke” enthusiasm that its “fundamental transformation of America” had succeeded, or possibly in just overestimating that the intelligence agencies’ control of the yet continuing mainstream media propaganda “Truman Show” disinformation campaign could win an election for even a candidate as universally unappealing and unaccomplished as Kamala Harris. Perhaps in the final analysis, as masterful Greek playwrights taught us eons ago, the tragic fall always proceeds from hubris.

The harsh reality is that the Obamas and Clintons were misled by their radical ideologies to their downfall, as they overreached and suffered a catastrophic collapse.

All that is left now is for the Antifa/Black Lives Matter chorus to wail in their final song and dance routine to sum up the conclusion of this pathetic treasonous tragedy, stressing for the audience the conclusion that in the end, the brilliance of the Sun remains the antidote in a play where lies are disinfected, justice prevails, and God always wins!
