Senate Democrats and senior aides to Joe Biden are reportedly debating if Biden should issue preemptive pardons to numerous current and former public servants. The list of individuals who may receive a preemptive pardon includes: Anthony Fauci Liz Cheney Adam Schiff BREAKING: Biden White House considering preemptive pardons for those in Trump’s crosshairs, including Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney & Anthony Fauci – Politico — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) December 4, 2024 “Biden is doing nothing short of abusing his power to save his political allies from being properly investigated and prosecuted,” journalist Nick Sortor commented.

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. “Senator Rand Paul previously filed a criminal referral over Fauci’s contradictory claims about the origins of COVID,” Collin Rugg wrote. “For his dishonesty, frankly, he should go to prison. If you lie to Congress, and you’re dishonest, and you won’t accept responsibility. For his mistake in judgment, he should just be pilloried. He should never be accepted,” Paul said during a radio interview, according to Rugg. WATCH: REPORT: The Biden White House is considering pardoning Dr. Anthony Fauci, according to Politico. Biden's team is reportedly discussing preemptive pardons to protect certain people from being "targetted" by President-elect Donald Trump.

Ed Markey (D-MA) publicly floated the idea that the president should consider “preemptive pardons” to people Trump has threatened to prosecute. “I think that without question, Trump is going to try to act in a dictatorial way, in a fascistic way, in a revengeful first year at least of his administration toward individuals who he believes harmed him,” Markey said in an interview with Boston Public Radio. “If it’s clear by Jan. 19 that that is his intention, then I would recommend to President Biden that he provide those preemptive pardons to people, because that’s really what our country is going to need next year,” he added. Markey went on to cite Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon over the Watergate scandal in 1974, calling it a way to “close that chapter” and move on “to an agenda that deals with ordinary families.” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) said he’d need more time to think about whether Biden should pursue preemptive pardons, but emphasized he understood why the president recently worked to shield his son. “Let me just talk about the one that’s on everybody’s mind, the one that’s relevant, given the lengths that Donald Trump has gone to politicize the Justice Department, I consider what was done by the president over the weekend as understandable,” Wyden said. However, a majority of Senate Democrats are not on board with Markey’s perspective on “preemptive pardons.” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said the push is something he’d advise Biden “not to do.” Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) said he’d instead urge Trump to vow that he will not go after his political opponents before taking office.
