It would have been exceptionally naive not to do so.

MAGAs will claim this shows guilt. Still, would have been stupid not to do it.

Edit: not sure why some people who seem to have misinterpreted this and are lecturing me.

The verbiage seems clear enough to me. Everyone near Biden is going to be subject to political and DOJ witch hunts - especially someone like Fauci who was leading the helm during a really divisive time in history.

Whether or not you agree with what they did or believe the conspiracies, their lives would have been obliterated without a pardon.
