The Biden White House is reportedly considering issuing preemptive pardons for individuals that President Trump might (rightfully) prosecute when he takes office.

Among the names who Biden could blanket pardon before leaving office are: Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, and Anthony Fauci.

Reportedly, their concerns are even more serious now that Kash Patel has been nominated as the head of the FBI (damn straight!)

Take a look:

Politico reported:

President Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with the discussions.

Biden’s aides are deeply concerned about a range of current and former officials who could find themselves facing inquiries and even indictments, a sense of alarm which has only accelerated since Trump last weekend announced the appointment of Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Patel has publicly vowed to pursue Trump’s critics.

The White House officials, however, are carefully weighing the extraordinary step of handing out blanket pardons to those who’ve committed no crimes, both because it could suggest impropriety, only fueling Trump’s criticisms, and because those offered preemptive pardons may reject them.

The deliberations touch on pardoning those currently in office, elected and appointed, as well as former officials who’ve angered Trump and his loyalists.

Those who could face exposure include such members of Congress’ Jan. 6 Committee as Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Trump has previously said Cheney “should go to Jail along with the rest of the Unselect Committee!” Also mentioned by Biden’s aides for a pardon is Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who became a lightning rod for criticism from the right during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Interestingly, one of the names on Biden’s potential preemptive pardon list, Adam Schiff, is fighting against it.

From The Post Millennial:

Among those who are believed to potentially be targeted under the administration are Senator-elect Adam Schiff, former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney, and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Discussions about blanket pardons also follow Biden’s controversial decision to pardon his son, Hunter, after previously stating he did not plan to do so. Additionally, not all Democrats are on board with the idea. Schiff dismissed the notion of a blanket pardon, saying that he would “urge the president not to do that.”

“I think it would seem defensive and unnecessary,” he said.
