Biden Issues Preemptive Pardons for Fauci, Other Individuals
ai generated text
US President Joe Biden issued pardons to former COVID-19 adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, and members, staff, and witnesses of a US House committee probing the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack by Donald Trump's supporters.
I do not want to put my family, my friends, and those with whom I served through the resulting distraction, expense, and anxiety.
After forty-three years of faithful service in uniform to our Nation, protecting and defending the Constitution, I do not wish to spend whatever remaining time the Lord grants me fighting those who unjustly might seek retribution for perceived slights.
I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics.
These are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing.
Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families.
Even when individuals have done nothing wrong — and in fact have done the right thing — and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances.
My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me.
Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.
The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgement that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offence.
Let me be perfectly clear, I have committed no crime and there are no possible grounds for any allegation or threat of criminal investigation or prosecution of me.
With the stroke of a pen, he (Biden) unilaterally shielded a group of political cronies from the scales of justice.
