Everyone seems to be very upset with Biden for pardoning his family members ahead of Trump’s restoration. Considering that Trump made clear that he planned to pardon at least some of the people who tried to overturn the election by storming the capitol as it was counting the electoral votes, you’d think it wouldn’t ‘t really be necessary. He wouldn’t have the balls to go after Biden’s family after that, right? And since he is flamboyantly swallowing a firehouse of corrupt money without even trying to hide it, no one would think it makes sense for him to try to continue the jihad against the Bidens. Well, he went even further and pardoned almost all of them, even the ones who tried to kill cops. And he granted clemency to those who plotted it. Does anything still think he has any limits? Well, not everyone agrees with that. This is from Townhall: Congress should immediately launch an investigation into this, both the House and Senate. Subpoena everyone.
