Biden Goes Out with a Bang: Pardons, Family Drama, and Fauci!

In a last-minute twist worthy of a political soap opera, Joe Biden pardons family and Fauci before heading out! What’s the scoop?

In a dramatic twist befitting the ending of a high-stakes political thriller, outgoing US President Joe Biden has granted preemptive pardons to a slew of family members and key allies just hours before his presidency came to a close. Among those receiving a pardon is the famed immunologist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who became a household name during the COVID-19 pandemic. This unexpected move has stirred both applause and discord, causing the political temperature to rise as his decision goes against the norm of leaving office quietly. With faces of key political figures adding to this spectacle, it’s a whirlwind finale to Biden’s term.

But wait, there’s more! Biden has embraced his protective instincts, issuing pardons to former Joint Chief of Staff Mark Milley and Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney, who have both been pivotal in navigating the turbulent waters of American politics. The Pardons, referred to as "preemptive" by critics, arise in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s threats to retaliate against perceived enemies from his time in the Oval Office. What could be more captivating than this unfolding drama, full of secret alliances and political maneuvering?

As the dust begins to settle, House Committee Chairman James Comer has voiced strong objections against Biden’s actions, dubbing the pardons a desperate attempt to protect family and allies alike from potential legal repercussions. The ruckus surrounding these actions showcases how polarized American politics has become. Can anyone get a moment of peace in this circus of scandal? Or will the next chapter consist of even more political theatrics?

In an interesting twist, political pardons aren’t unheard of in American history; presidents such as Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter also issued controversial pardons in their final days. And speaking of Fauci, did you know he’s been called the ‘father of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ for his pivotal role in managing and coordinating national health policy? Buckle up, readers; politics never seems to run short of riveting tales!
