I’ve brought up before the thought that pardoning for any crime before the investigation even begins may be a mistake, but President Biden, in the last hours of his Administration, did it. But President Trump thinks that he’s spotted a mistake:
“Joe Biden has very bad advisers,” Trump said. “Somebody advised Joe Biden to give pardons to everybody but him.”
“And you know, the funny thing — maybe the sad thing — is he didn’t give himself a pardon,” Trump said. “And if you look at it, it all had to do with him. I mean, the money went to him.”
“He pardoned everybody, but he didn’t pardon himself,” Trump added at another point. “And remember this: Those people that he pardoned are now mandated, because they got a pardon, to testify. And they can’t take the Fifth.” [WaPo]
Thing is, for all the pundits who think President Biden is feeble-minded, I’m not so sure. Is this the angler fish ploy?
Put a lure out and see what foolishly ventures a bite? Trump thinks he’s smart, but if Biden isn’t feeble-minded then he has the experience to be be an absolute terror to some amateur like Trump.
We’ll see what happens. A lot has to go right for Biden, I’m sure.
