Biden's 'Pardon' for so many as he leaves office, screams they're 'GUILTY' of course, otherwise, why 'Pardon'? Cheney, Fauci, Hunter, etc., etc., etc. Mass murderers. This doesn't include the 1500 criminals he also pardoned - why? Because he detests the general American public - as well as their Constitution and cares only for filling his pockets and his sperm's as quickly as possible. Just surprised he hasn't pardoned himself.

Your comment made me think of a few questions to ask ChatGPT (where I hoped its inbuilt Narrative would not cloud the answer - you need to craft the questions to avoid that).

In any case the questions get down to the key "rotten" smell to Biden's Pardons

-------

Question:

"In the US the President has the Power to grant pardons; when was this enacted and what was the reasoning behind having this power ?

ChatGPT said:

The power of the U.S. President to grant pardons is granted by the U.S. Constitution in Article II, Section 2. It reads: “The President shall have power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.”

This power was included in the Constitution by the framers, influenced by a desire to ensure that the government could show mercy and correct any injustices that might occur in the legal system. There were a few key reasons for including this power:

Check on the Judicial System: The framers wanted to provide a check on the judiciary, especially since the judicial system may not always be perfect and could potentially convict innocent people or be too harsh in certain circumstances. The pardon power allowed the President to step in and correct these mistakes.

Political Considerations: The power was seen as a way to resolve political disputes or conflicts. For example, after a rebellion or a conflict, a President might use pardons to offer peace and reconciliation.

Humanitarian Mercy: The framers also wanted to ensure that the President could offer mercy in situations where the law was too rigid or unjustly applied. This would allow for clemency in individual cases, especially in circumstances of personal hardship or mitigating factors.

Overall, the pardon power was included as a way to balance justice with mercy, and it serves as a means of preventing overly harsh or flawed applications of the law.

Question:

How can this relate to pre-emptive pardons

ChatGPT said:

Preemptive pardons refer to the idea of a president granting pardons to individuals before they have been formally charged with a crime or convicted, essentially offering protection from future legal consequences. This type of pardon is controversial and has sparked debate about the scope of the presidential pardon power.

The relationship between preemptive pardons and the power granted by the Constitution lies in the broad wording of the presidential pardon power in Article II, Section 2. The Constitution does not specify whether pardons can only be granted after someone has been convicted or even charged with a crime. It simply says the President has the power to grant pardons for “offenses against the United States.” As a result, some legal scholars and politicians argue that the president’s pardon power is expansive enough to cover preemptive pardons.

Here’s how preemptive pardons can relate to the reasoning behind the pardon power:

Mercy and Prevention of Injustice: Just as a post-conviction pardon can serve to correct an unjust legal outcome, a preemptive pardon might be viewed as a way to prevent future injustices—especially in cases where a president believes that a person may be unfairly targeted by legal or political processes.

Political Considerations: In the same way that pardons can be used to resolve political conflicts (such as offering clemency after a rebellion), preemptive pardons could theoretically be used to avoid future political clashes or to prevent legal actions that the president believes might be politically motivated or biased.

Reconciliation and Peace: Some might argue that preemptive pardons could serve a similar function to post-conflict pardons, aiming to prevent division or hostility, particularly in politically charged or contentious situations.

However, preemptive pardons are highly controversial because they challenge the standard view that pardons should be granted after a conviction, and there are concerns about potential abuse of this power. Critics argue that preemptive pardons could undermine the rule of law or be used for corrupt purposes, such as shielding allies or oneself from prosecution. The question of whether preemptive pardons are within the scope of presidential authority remains a subject of legal debate and would likely require judicial clarification if ever challenged in court.

This helped clarify in my mind how to express the concerns about Biden's "Pardons." It is clear (in my mind) that pardons were meant to apply once individuals had faced justice and been convicted. By this time, both the accusations, the test of those accusations, and the conviction were recorded, allowing the President to weigh the evidence of what had transpired and consider extenuating and current circumstances that might justify a decision to pardon someone.

Preemptive pardons take this power into a whole new realm (if allowed to stand). Such pardons prevent people who may have committed crimes from facing justice and suggest that it would be unjust for these individuals to face the justice system to answer for any alleged crimes. This implies that the justice system, going forward, cannot be trusted to deliver justice for these people.

This reveals to me that the Biden administration is accustomed to the justice system being weaponized by the government and expects this to continue.

It also grants an incredibly dangerous power to presidents and their political parties, which was recently well-articulated by Dr. Robert Malone in one of his Substacks. With this power, the government could use and abuse the justice system and/or federal agencies to ensure the continuation of its term in power, with an escape clause for themselves and all involved, should their government fall despite these abuses. The January 6th abuses of justice are one excellent example. On a mass scale, there was a perverted application of the law to rebrand a massive and peaceful demonstration (meant to show the world that the recent election had been rigged) into a violent insurrection. The legacy media and internet platforms, which were 90% "in bed" with the Biden administration, helped rebrand this event.

President Trump's pardons were in the truest sense, as those who were pardoned had already been convicted, and he was able to bring the full facts of any case/pardon up for public scrutiny—these pardons can be judged in context.

I would call upon President Trump to issue a directive that Pardon's can not be applied Pre-Emptively.

In this way, Trump would be recognizing the danger to democracy posed by allowing presidents to have the power to issue preemptive pardons, enabling them to shield themselves, their relatives, their government, and government agencies from being held accountable for potential heinous crimes committed during their time in office.

Of course that election was corrupted. Just had to look at the massive crowds for Trump everywhere he went. Biden supporters barely filled a car park, obvious what the Americans wanted. 4 years previous, no wars. on the contrary relations with China, Russia and even N Korea were improving, why vote for anyone else ? Absolute disgrace what has happened to you, Dr Gold and thousands of others remaining steadfast for the truth and exposing the greatest medical crime in history.

It appeared obvious from respective turn outs and the way the votes were going until the 2 or 3 am precipitous vote count. True representative voting in Democracies is becoming a rare thing with the way the cards are stacked and the use of government agencies, regulatory authorities and Media influence.

With under 37% of the vote, a good example is the re-election of the much despised Victorian Premier Dan Andrews after his ruthless rule during Covid-19.

Adding to the insult to the majority of Victorians is the policy stipulating that any Victorian premier who serves over 3,000 days in office is eligible to have a bronze statue erected in their honor near Treasury Place in Melbourne's CBD

It is yet to be erected though it is worth noting The closest public urinal to Treasury Place in Melbourne's CBD can be found at the intersection of Flinders Street and Batman Avenue. There are historical public urinals, known as pissoirs, which Melbourne has maintained from an earlier era. These are typically cast iron structures that have been updated with modern stainless steel urinals. I am sure they could make an exception and create a new one from Bronze.

Despise that excuse for a man dan andrews and that horse from New Zealand. Reading reports, Putin wants Fauci to stand trial in Russia for crimes against humanity as part of a Ukraine peace deal with Trump. I have stood up for that snake mentioning respect for Presidential pardon from that other snake Biden. I feel the wind is changing as more and more who have lost Loved ones are waking up. Rejoiced when they freed the Jan 6 ers, I hope Trump is on our side, common sense is being restored, just need it to happen here in the UK.
