A great man once observed, "Never underestimate Joe's ability to fu(k things up" .
True words were never spoken, even if it wasn't said Joe whose ability it was. Brandon was legendary for his hatred of "the smart guys" quite likely because if he was in a room with someone, they were smarter that he.
With this in mind, we turn to today's lesson. Nitwit's pre-emptive pardons have a couple of holes in them. First, as noted by better minds than mine, they only apply to Federal crimes. Second, (and this is the good one) there's a 1915 SCOTUS ruling that states acceptance of a pardon is an admission of guilt.
So, if the recipient of one of those pardons was brought up on charges in a state court, he has already admitted his guilt.
I believe the old Klingon proverb goes, revenge is a dish best served cold.

J Turley today sums it up with this: "Biden sealed his legacy with a finality that escapes most presidents. While his diminished mental capacity will remain an issue for historians, his longstanding lack of ethics was conclusively established with these pardons. It was Biden’s final act of corruption."
