TODAY is the day Biden must act to pre-emptively pardon the J6 Committee and all others involved, including witnesses

If he fails to do this, then I was wrong about him from the beginning.
Biden should celebrate January 6 by pardoning all those who fought for the preservation of our Constitution and our freedoms. To do less, is a travesty of the American experiment.

1. I tend to agree. Just as he protected his son from frivolous prosecution, he should protect them as well.

Though there is absolutely no urgency in it being today.

8. Thank-you. If President Biden did that, the rethugs would immediately say that is "proof" that the January 6th

hearings were illegal, which they weren't, and it would expose the deviant political party they call republican, as the fascist authoritarians they are.

6. Exactly. In fact, I believe that if these reTHUGS actually try to go after members it WILL backfire on them

magnificently, especially since there is no evidence of any wrong doing from any of the January 6th committee members.

What it will do though is bring out even more incriminating evidence against the retag insurrectionists in congress.

5. Agreed.. he should pardon anyone who either Djt has named as a target or by their action would likely become a target!

Do it now for their sake and the country's ability to ignore his threats as part of the daily rant.

On his way out the door, Biden would miss the best opportunity to say a final FU.

This DUer would likely renew his Star status early. Join me in that pledge; other DUers

9. I agree they are heroes and did nothing wrong. But without a pardon Trump will break them economically and spiritually.

They will have to spend huge sums of money fighting the vengeful Trump and his wealthy MAGA cult. I do not want them to have to pay a price for doing what was right and honorable. It is just too easy to protect them from this monster cult. Damn what the MAGAs will say. They are going to lie and say what they want anyway. At least the Dems should protect their supporters as much as Trump is going protect the insurrectionists.
