Will Biden Issue Preemptive Blanket Pardons for Schiff, Fauci, and Cheney?

The Deep State is still running rampant in the final days of the Biden-Harris Administration. President Joe Biden could offer preemptive blanket pardons to several people President Donald Trump has criticized, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, and U.S. Senator-elect Adam Schiff (CA). Interestingly enough, President Biden hasn’t even been asked for these preemptive pardons – but senior aides in the White House are discussing the issue.

Constitutional scholars have long debated if U.S. Presidents could preemptively pardon themselves for any actions taken while in office – even if no charges had been brought against them. Of course, President Trump was a major part of that discussion during the impeachment trials, and he never pardoned himself.

And now, ironically, the far Left is looking to “de-weaponize” the DOJ after weaponizing it for years against their political opponents. The ACLJ has 18 ongoing lawsuits against the unlawful Biden-Harris Deep State’s unrelenting attacks on Christians and conservatives. And now that the shoe is on the other foot, the far Left wants to protect itself.

Part of the far Left’s strategy could also be to try to force President Trump to relitigate

battles that he doesn’t need to fight. Also, Biden doesn’t need to issue preemptive pardons to those who haven’t been charged with anything. Even Senator-elect Schiff argued that being pardoned isn’t a good idea.

By raising the issue of Biden needing to offer preemptive pardons, the far Left is attempting to scare the American people into believing that President Trump will be a demagogue who weaponizes the DOJ for his personal gain.

However, what likely gives many Americans pause is the blanket immunity involved in President Biden’s pardon of his son. Hunter’s pardon wasn’t really directed at the gun or tax evasion charges. Rather, he received immunity from any possible wrongdoing that happened or might have happened for a nearly eleven-year span.

Will Biden issue further years-long blanket immunity to key figures of the far Left? It’s hard to believe that Biden would issue pardons to people if doing so doesn’t benefit him personally. On the other hand, the Hunter pardon benefited the President immensely.

Because of the unprecedented broadness of Biden’s pardon of Hunter, Jeff from North Carolina called in to Sekulow to ask if Biden could pardon the illegal aliens in the country.

ACLJ Senior Counsel and Director of Policy Harry Hutchison explained why a presidential pardon would not be sufficient for keeping illegals in the country:

So you don’t have a presumptive legal right to remain in the United States even if you have entered the country legally. So, for instance, someone from France, who, let’s say, had a visa or there’s an agreement between the French government and the American government, could enter the United States legally. But nonetheless, the U.S. government would have the right to remove them. So I don’t think a presidential pardon with respect to illegal immigrants will necessarily prevent President Trump from removing them because they are no longer in this country legally.

I concur with Harry. A blanket pardon for people entering the country illegally doesn’t give them citizenship, even if they can’t be prosecuted. It wouldn’t stop illegal aliens from being removed.

The elites in Washington, D.C., thought they would win this election. They believed the Deep State DOJ would remain on their side. And now they are scrambling – even setting dangerous precedents with a President’s pardoning powers – before the swamp starts to get drained.

Meanwhile, the ACLJ has been busy fighting to defend faith and freedom across America. ACLJ Senior Counsel CeCe Heil joined the broadcast to give updates on our cases.

In our fight to defend school choice in Ohio (where a radical school district is violating state law by refusing to offer bus transportation to students at Christian schools), the court denied our opponent’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. As a result, we have an important brief due the day after Christmas. Our work does not stop even over the holidays.

At a New Mexico hospital, ultrasound technicians are being forced to assist in abortions. We sent an accommodation letter on a worker’s behalf and await the hospital’s response. Also, a fourth worker from this hospital just asked us to defend them.

Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of President Biden possibly issuing presidential pardons to key figures on the Left.
