president Donald Trump tries to lift the preventive pardoning that he members of the committee of January 6th had granted and that he supposedly wants to pursue criminal law.
“The pardons that the sleepy Joe biden has granted the committee for political rackets and many others, I hereby declare for void, free and without further effect ”, wrote Trump in the early morning hours of Monday on Truth Social.
The president tries to justify his social media proclamation. He claims that the pardon enacted by bids are invalid because “he wrote them with a pens”. The accusation is based on viral but unfounded claims on social media that The Heritage Foundation had set up.
The “Causa ballpoint pen”
This claimed that she had analyzed a number of bidens signatures. And found that they are identical. Regardless of bidens alleged use of a ballpoint pen (that President Use the pardon of a president since Thomas Jefferson’s term) is practically undisputed. And there is no constitutional provision that allows future presidents to revoke pardon enacted by their predecessors.
Trump also claimed that bidges were the pardoning that he was the members of the Jan. 6-Committees -including Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), The MP Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) And Pete Augilar (D-Calif.) As well as the former MP Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) And Adam Kinzinger (R-ILL.)-not only granted “not signed”. But “even more important: he didn’t know anything about it!”
“Witch hunt” against Trump
“The necessary pardoning documents have not been explained or he approved them,” added Trump. “He didn’t know anything about her. And the people who knew about it may have committed a crime. Therefore, those in the committee should fully understand that they are the subject of an examination at the highest level. It is about those who have received, destroyed and deleted all the evidence they received during their two -year witch hunt against me and many other innocent people. ”
In the drafting of the article, the president – intentionally or unintentionally – emphasized exactly why the members of the committee were granted a preventive pardon. He has long said that the committee members must be investigated (or worse). And it accuses them of crime for no reason, while generally threatens with retaliation against those he sees as his political enemies.
After Trump’s election victory last November, Biden issued A record -breaking wave of conversions and pardon. Mainly for people who were convicted of non -violent drug offenses. Biden also issued one Series of pardonto protect high -ranking legislators and members of his government. They run the risk of being used by the Trump government because of the various legal cases and law enforcement, which were elevated between his two terms against Trump between his two terms.
Trump angry
“These are extraordinary circumstances. I can’t do anything with a clear conscience, ”wrote Biden in a statement in which he announced the pardon. “Groundless and politically motivated investigations have devastating effects on life. On the safety and financial security of the data subjects and their families. ”
“The granting of these pardons should not be misunderstood as recognition that a person was involved in misconduct. The assumption should still be misunderstood as an admission of guilt for a crime. ”
Trump was angry. He had repeatedly indicated or openly threatenedto pursue those under criminal law and even toto which bids had granted protection. On Monday, Trump went so far to say that the pardoned “were probably responsible for the documents who were signed in their name without the knowledge or approval of the worst president in the history of our country”.
While he spoke to reporters in the Air Force One, gave Trump toothat he too uses a ballpoint pen. “I mean, for example, we can use it to send a letter to a young person,” he said. “He is practical. And we receive thousands and thousands of letters and support letters for young people. For people who are not doing well, etc. but pardoning and all the things he has signed with a ballpoint pen are to sign a shame. “
