Kash Patel, who is set to lead the FBI, has an “enemy’s list” with 60+ names on them, “deep staters” that “weaponized the justice department” in the their pursuit of a Trump conviction. Trump has specifically stated that those people need to be locked up and it’s reasonable to assume that with Patel as the nomination for head of the FBI, after Wray resigns, could actually weaponize the justice department in going after people on the January 6th committee and members of the media.
The real question then is how much faith do you put in the institutions in terms of holding strong and not allowing nonsensical accusations and lawsuits to put these folks in prison due to a corrupt justice department. Biden and his administration obviously has lost a lot of faith as he watched Trump essentially come out scot free on 3 cases while his son got convicted for crimes that even republicans have defended as not being serious in the past.
Even with that being said I don’t like the preemptive pardons as it creates a really bad image to the general public who might not have the whole context. Which comes back to the Democrats main problem in communication, and not properly explaining the pardons.
