After all those boasts about how no one is above the law, the Biden team’s plan is to start popping out get-out-of-jail-free cards.

President Biden, January 7, 2021, announcing the nomination of Merrick Garland to be attorney general:

I made it clear from the moment I entered this race that what I believe was at stake. I said there was nothing less at stake than who we are as a nation, what we stand for, what we believe, what we will be. At the center of that belief is one of the oldest principles this nation has long held, where our government of laws, not of men, not of the people, of laws.

Biden also declared “No one is above the law” after the Supreme Court ruled that a president is largely legally immune from official actions taken while in office.

Fast forward to today. President Biden has not only issued his son a full pardon for all potential crimes committed over the course of a decade, he is discussing issuing blanket preemptive pardons to “a range of current and former public officials.” These would presumably be “blanket pardons” like the one to Hunter Biden, except these would apply to individuals have not yet been charged with any crimes. (Because Biden and his team don’t know what crimes the Trump administration DOJ would charge these current and former public officials, the pardons would have to cover everything.)

This would mean, to pick one of the most extreme or absurd examples, that if in the near future, the FBI uncovered evidence that Anthony Fauci and Adam Schiff had teamed up to rob a liquor store during the time period, they could not be prosecuted. After all, the president’s pardon covered all crimes. A bit more realistically, if one of these figures didn’t pay all their taxes during that time, that too would presumably be covered by the pardon. Hired a nanny who’s in the country illegally? Can’t be prosecuted. Committed perjury before Congress or in a courtroom? Just point to the pardon.

After all those boasts about how no one is above the law and we are a government of laws, the Biden administration’s plan is to start popping out get-out-of-jail-free cards like a Pez dispenser.
