Former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty said Tuesday that former President Joe Biden’s preemptive pardon of former National Institute of Allergy

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, responded to President Joe Biden issuing him a preemptive pardon on Monday.

Biden Monday issued several preemptive pardons, some to family members. Following the transition of power, Trump wielded his own clemency power.

As for Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons, they did not reek any less for being utterly predictable. The former president set the works in motion last month with the shameful pardon of his son. Hunter Biden had been the point man in the decades-long Biden family business of selling access to his father and his political influence to agents of corrupt and anti-American foreign regimes,

In addition to Fauci, Biden also granted pardons to General Mark Milley, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, and the US Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.

The statement stressed that the pardons "should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.

A day that began with the outgoing president’s pardon of lawmakers and his own family ended with the incoming president’s pardon of supporters who attacked the U.S.

The outgoing president acted to short-circuit incoming President Trump’s stated plans to exact retribution from perceived enemies.

With just a few hours remaining in his presidency, Joe Biden preemptively pardoned Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley and members of the January 6th Committee and their staffs, amid concerns that they would be targets of investigation by the incoming administration.

Joe Biden has issued preemptive pardons to Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley and more just hours before Donald Trump's inauguration.

Biden also issued pardons for former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and Liz Cheney and other former members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
