apnews.com
In one of his final acts as president, Joe Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Summary

In his final hours as president, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the Jan. 6 Committee, aiming to shield them from potential retaliation by the incoming Trump administration.

Trump has hinted at targeting those who opposed him or investigated his actions.

Biden stressed that the pardons do not imply wrongdoing but protect reputations and finances from politically motivated investigations.

This unprecedented move reflects concerns about threats to democracy under Trump’s return to power.

            Alright, see. This is the first I’m hearing of any of this.

            I don’t want to be a 2020 maga retard out here falling for their shit, but if I see honest to god evidence of this I’ll say I was wrong.

            Sorry for the use of the out of fashion insult, but I don’t know what else to say to make the point vibrate the brain the way I want it to.
