Supercut: Democrats and Their MSM Media Mouthpieces Had Strong Opinions on ‘Preemptive Pardons’ and Presidents Pardoning Their Family Members in 2020

Reid: “Have you ever heard of somebody getting a preemptive pardon who was innocent of all crime, who’s just an innocent person? Have you ever heard of that? Just somebody getting a blanket pardon and they’re an innocent person.”
Schiff: “No, it’s the president’s own family. It’s people that have been covering up for the president in addition to his own family.”
(...)
WILLIAMS: “Is there an innocent explanation for someone to seek preemptive pardons for family members? Would you do that if you knew you were innocent and just worried about outside forces?”
WEISSMANN: “The answer to that is going to be no. If you haven’t done anything wrong, you sit there and go, what do you need a preemptive pardon for?”
(...)
UNKNOWN FEMALE 1: “If he pardons people preemptively, he’s essentially telling the public that these people have committed crimes. And we may not be aware of what they are, but the pardon is clear evidence that crimes have been committed.”
(...)
KUCINICH: “I imagine if he decides to issue these preemptive pardons, it will be cast in a way that he is protecting his family and protecting their reputations from, you know, villainous exterior forces that are against him.”
(...)
Vance: “First off, we should just take a deep breath and acknowledge the audacity of a president who’s so clearly concerned about his own criminal culpability and that of his family members that pardons are a major obsession with him.”
(...)
HAYES: “The idea of a kind of prospective pardon, this sort of permanent federal get-out-of-jail-free card, that — that seems to be what we’re talking about in the case of this, right, with Giuliani and his three eldest children who, as far as we know, have not been convicted of a crime. Maybe they’ve committed a lot and they don’t want to face action. I don’t know. It’s weird. I wouldn’t ask for a pardon. I don’t think I deserve one because I don’t think I’ve done anything criminal. But, like, where does that come from? That concept, you can just kind of wave your magic pardon wand.”
(...)
MYSTAL: “We have Tish James. We have Xavier Becerra. Mimi Roca is literally my PA in my town. There — there will be opportunities to prosecute these people, regardless if they — if they abuse the pardon power as they are thinking.”
HOST: “Hopefully, Elie, there will be a skyfall on this entire crime family, and there will be another day for them to die.”
(...)
BLITZER: “The president does indeed pardon, let’s say, Rudy Giuliani or any members of his family. Would you see that — and I asked Preet Bharara this question — as essentially an admission of guilt?”
Schiff: “I certainly would view it that way. I think millions of Americans would view it that way. If there was no belief in criminality, why would he think a pardon was necessary?”
Reporter: “CNN has learned President Biden will pardon his son, Hunter Biden.”
