Ready For Pardonpolooza?

Today’s Washington Post has a front-page, above the fold article titled, “Trump Critics May See Pardons – Cheney, Schiff, Fauci Considered.”

The article confirms what we told you yesterday. It’s not just a rumor. It’s being encouraged by Democrats in Congress and it is actually under consideration by Joe Biden.

I remember when the Democrat Party wanted the entire Cheney family in jail for war crimes! Apparently, opposing Donald Trump covers all sins.

I can see why Cheney and Schiff might need pardons. Cheney hid evidence about January 6^th and tampered with witnesses. Schiff went on every talk show he could and lied for months about Trump colluding with Russia. “The evidence is everywhere. It’s in plain sight,” he claimed.

But how would Biden’s “preemptive pardons” protect our democracy? Why should Cheney or Schiff receive a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card when they haven’t been charged with anything? What are Democrats so afraid of?

They claim they only want to protect these “public servants” from Trump’s “retribution.” That’s absurd.

Think about this: Someone tries to break into your house but is thwarted by a security system. So, he runs off and gets away scot-free. Do you think he’s going to change his behavior? Of course not. He’ll commit more crimes.

But if the thief runs off and is arrested by police an hour later, the arrest is not “retribution.” It’s accountability. It’s justice. Both of which are sorely lacking in Washington, D.C.
