Yeah, because he was guarding them against the current administration abusing the Justice Department to go after them. Same reason he pardoned Fauci and others.

And from what we've seen, he was right to do so. Although, they've been angling to declare his pardons void so they can go after whoever they wish.

- collingreen 1y agoThat's nothing like what's being said, I'm really surprised you read it that way.
- AgentME 1y agoBy considering the facts of the matter, sure it's as you said. But if you ignore every detail then it does look like everyone is exactly as bad as each other and it's impossible to say anything is good or bad.
- travisjungroth 1y agoYou have the causality mixed up. It’s not bad because they’re doing it. They’re doing it and it’s bad.

- array_key_first 1y agoWell yes some people commit crimes and others don't. It's not a double standard, it's the same standard.
- jsbg 1y ago> Yeah, because he was guarding them against the current administration abusing the Justice Department to go after them. Same reason he pardoned Fauci and others. Are pre-emptive pardons a common thing for American presidents to do?
- ModernMech 1y agoOnly when the incoming administration labelled your family a "crime family" and led stadiums to chants of "lock them up".
- jyounker 1y agoNo. Absolutely not. I can't think of anyone using a pre-emptive pardon until Trump's first Presidency. Sadly I think Biden's choice was completely rational given how Trump is weaponizing the US justice system.

- kapone 1y ago> Yeah, because he was guarding them against the current administration abusing the Justice Department to go after them Ha ha. They (democrats overall) need to look inwards for that. > Same reason he pardoned Fauci and others. Fauci screwed up our country so bad, it aint even funny. The fact that he needed a PRE-EMPTIVE (i.e. he wasn't even accused of anything at the time) pardon says it all. And the fact that Biden gave it to him, says everything there is to say about Biden. > And from what we've seen, he was right to do so. Not even close. > Although, they've been angling to declare his pardons void so they can go after whoever they wish. They should. - Look at what Biden did to the southern border. And look at it now. - Look at almost any "democrat" run major city. Any. Then look at the crime rates and cost of living. - And the recent farce that was this "No Kings" crap... Trump isn't perfect. Far from it. He's got major flaws, both in character and execution. However, name any major policy initiative that he's undertaken that is bad for the "country". As a whole.
- travisjungroth 1y ago> However, name any major policy initiative that he's undertaken that is bad for the "country". As a whole. This is a ridiculous standard. Each of his policies (individually) only hurting some Americans is not a flex.
- kapone 1y agoEverything, always hurts “someone”. There is no universal good. The totality is what matters, not you, not me.
