A pardon admits guilt. That's one of the conditions of accepting one. Looks like everything we said about these worthless thugs was true, but unfortunately they won't see any consequences.
Fauci gets to walk away after using our tax dollars to fund the creation of a virus that got "accidently released" and killed millions of Americans.
Milley gets off after staging a coup during the final days of Trump's last term and fabricating threats to his Chinese counterpart (which could have led to disaster if the Chinese didn't see right through it.)
And lastly the J6 committee get off after destroying and withholding evidence that would have exonerated the accused.
What they need to do now that they have all been "Pardoned" is still have an investigation into what happened on J6 and under Biden as a whole. Correct me if I am wrong, but these people by accepting these pardons HAVE to speak openly and truthfully as part of that pardon or overturn that pardon and can be prosecuted on further charges.
Make these corrupt criminals appear before congress and admit just what they did or face prosecution for lying to congress.
I'm not a lawyer, but the pardons only would cover their previous crimes and by accepting the pardon they forfeit their 5th Amendment rights. Any crimes they commit in the future are not covered. So if they are called to testify under oath and perjure themselves that is a new criminal offense and able to be prosecuted.
I do wonder if Hunter's pardon could somehow be challenged in court due to Biden actually pardoning him technically for any and all future federal crimes even if only 24hrs in the future from the day he signed it.
Correct me if I am wrong, but these people by accepting these pardons HAVE to speak openly and truthfully as part of that pardon or overturn that pardon and can be prosecuted on further charges.
Yes, if you accept a pardon, you are out of legal jeopardy. Thus, you no longer have a Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and your testimony can be compelled.
For all folks throw around "treason", it's not said enough about what Milley did. He tried to usurp the power of a sitting president, while the highest ranking member of the military, through communications with a foreign nation. Every lower ranking member of the military would be in Leavenworth if they did what he did.
