Posts by Mark Alexander (The Patriot Post) and Connor O'Keeffe (Mises Wire – Mises Institute) focus on the Biden Crime Family mass-criminal pardons. The O’Keeffe post hones specifically on Anthony Fauci (perhaps the 21st century Mengele).
Alexander is critical of Commutations/Pardons of so-called violent J6ers allegedly engaging with violence against the Capitol Police. I don’t know about you, but I’ve watched video feeds of the J6 Protests. Any violence taking place was instigated by Capitol/DC Police provocations and FBI Plant Provocateurs. As far as I’m concerned, the huge President Trump Pardons and Commutations was justified.
O’Keeffe has a great theory for the reasoning behind Biden Puppeteers pardoning Fauci, but O’Keeffe fails to mention the crimes of lying to Congress.

Joe Biden’s Disgraceful Departure
To clean up the mess Biden made, Trump must also clean up the mess that made Biden.

“Ignorance will be the dupe of cunning; and passion the slave of sophistry and declamation.” —James Madison
As Donald Trump was preparing to leave office in January 2021, it was clear that Joe Biden’s “victory” in the 2020 election was fabricated from three dark political strategies.
The first was collaboration between Democrat Party socialists and their deep state operatives to undermine Trump’s presidency — seeded by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton hacks even before Trump’s 2016 election. The second factor was the Demos’ successful strategy to ignite and choreograph their constituents’ violent “summer of rage” riots nationwide three months before the election, based on the deceit of their “systemic racism” lie. The third and most effective was the Demos’ strategy to use the ChiCom Virus pandemic to justify their massive bulk-mail ballot fraud strategy.
This trio combined as a three-strike Trump takedown.
For this reason, I have argued since Trump’s historic 2024 comeback, that he and JD Vance would be tasked with more than the formidable challenge of cleaning up the domestic and foreign policy mess that Biden and Harris made. In order to restore Trump’s successful domestic and foreign policy strategies, Trump will also have to clean up the mess that made Biden and Harris.
Biden’s final actions while exiting the White House exemplified the corruption of his entire presidency. It is no small irony that Biden would leave office on Martin Luther King Day because, over the past five decades, Biden and his fellow Democrats have turned MLK’s dream into a nightmare for tens of millions of Americans.
Biden’s dark “oligarchy” farewell address was a bookend to a career of unmitigated lies, including the BIG Lie that Trump was backed by more billionaires than Harris. In fact, according to a pre-election review of federal election records, “At least 83 billionaires — two of them centibillionaires with a net worth of more than $100 billion each — are supporting Harris, while 52 billionaires, one a centibillionaire, back Trump.”
Then there was all the dark money funneled into the Harris campaign by billionaire leftist George Soros and others who backed her after Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrat power-brokers booted Biden to the curb.
Biden’s farewell remarks were a metaphorical caricature of the rise of a thuggish political oligarch on the public dole. Likewise, the Oval Office exit interview that followed was equally infused with lies.
There were his delusional claims, including this whopper: “Compared to four years ago, America is stronger. … During my presidency, I’ve increased America’s power in every dimension.”
A day later, “President Democracy” attempted to rewrite our Constitution with a bizarre claim crafted by his leftist puppeteers that the Equal Rights Amendment is now the “law of the land.”

But it was Biden’s unpardonable pardons issued in his final weeks — and final minutes in office — that have drawn the most attention and fire.
Over the last 30 days, when most of the Leftmedia talkingheads and scribes were focused on whether Donald Trump would issue pardons to January 6 protesters, Joe Biden started his pardon party by issuing a get-out-of-jail-free card to Hunter Biden, despite repeatedly promising he would never do that because “No one is above the law.”
That was just another entry to the bottomless list of Biden lies over the course of his last 50 years.
Then, Biden commuted the sentences of 1,499 people and pardoned another 39 convicts to divert the news cycle attention from the corrupt pardon favor for his son. That was followed just before Christmas with his commuting the sentences of 37 of 40 federal death row inmates, some being the most evil people in federal custody.
Biden began the New Year commuting another 2,500 sentences.
Hours before leaving office, despite warnings from Demos not to issue preemptive pardons, Biden issued preemptive pardons for Anthony Fauci, GEN Mark Milley, and the J6 inquisitors, including witness-tampering former Rep. Liz Cheney. “I believe in the rule of law,” said Biden, “but these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing.”
Finally, just minutes before Trump took his oath of office, Biden extended pardons to his immediate family members — to the astonishment of many of Biden’s Leftmedia defenders, including even CNN leftist Jake Tapper. Apparently, this exceeded even Tapper’s tolerance for hypocrisy. He posted combined links to the Biden family pardons with a link to a 2020 CNN article just before Trump left office, about Biden’s concern that Trump might issue preemptive pardons to family members (which he did not do). According to Biden then: “It concerns me in terms of what kind of precedent it sets and how the rest of the world looks (at) us as a nation of laws and justice. … You’re not going to see, uh, um, in our administration, that kind of approach to pardons.”

Recall also that Trump’s most vociferous critic, then-House member Adam Schiff (D-CA), also voiced in 2020 his concern that Trump would pardon family members, declaring that innocent people don’t need preemptive pardons.
Clearly, the last-minute pardons of Biden’s immediate family members indicate that he was the godfather of the Biden family crime syndicate, and he issued pardons to those closest to him to protect himself.
Of that unprecedented action, political analyst Buck Sexton concluded, “Biden pardoning his whole crime family on the way out the door is the perfect ending to this fetid, corrupt, failed presidency.”
Over the last four years, Biden has now issued pardons and clemencies to more than 10,500 criminals, which is, as he proudly declared, “more individual pardons and commutations than any president in U.S. history.” (For context, Donald Trump issued a total of 237 pardons and clemencies in his first term.)
The big pardon and clemency giveaway was much like his last-minute presidential medals extravaganza when he awarded numerous “trophies” mostly to his disreputable political benefactors.
All this from a man who just claimed, “Telling the truth matters.”
Now, I had hoped to end this assessment of pardons with the above summary of Biden’s actions, which set even leftist heads on fire, but alas, on his first day in office, Trump diverted all the attention from Biden’s pardons to his own.
What happened?
After his inauguration celebration, Trump brilliantly used a political rally to begin signing an extraordinary list of executive orders, first among them being an EO rescinding 78 “Harmful Executive Orders and Actions” by the Biden/Harris regime.
In total, he signed 26 executive orders, 12 memos, and four proclamations.
Of these actions, Trump promised, “We will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense.”
All was well and good until after the rally, when Trump signed a proclamation providing blanket pardons and commutations for almost all of those with charges or convictions related to the riot on January 6, 2021.
And just like that, “the revolution of common sense” hit a wall after Trump did what he occasionally does: He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with an unforced error of the type I first wrote about shortly after Trump took office in 2017.
We all anticipated that Trump would issue pardons for the J6 protesters charged or convicted of nonviolent offenses. Trump said last week, “A vast majority should not be in jail,” and he was correct. He earlier insisted, “If they were nonviolent, I think they’ve been greatly punished.” Again, correct.
Trump then sent JD Vance out to rebut claims that he would pardon those convicted of violent attacks against police. Vance was clear: “Look, if you protested peacefully on January the 6th, and you’ve had Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed violence on that day, obviously, you shouldn’t be pardoned.”
His attorney general nominee also declared that Trump would not release violent offenders, declaring, “I condemn any violence on a law enforcement officer in this country,” adding, “The president does not like people who abuse police officers, either.”
They just got their first taste of what it’s like carrying water for Trump.
Of the 1,583 defendants charged after the January 6 riot, 1,230 had already entered guilty pleas or been convicted — and almost 200 pleas and 220 convictions were for felonies that included assault on police officers.
It’s hard to claim you’re the “Party of Law and Order” after this action, and Republicans were stunned by Trump’s decision. For his part, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said the decision fit with his “ethos” and “worldview,” which is that “we believe in redemption, we believe in second chances.” He added: “The president’s made a decision. We move forward. There are better days ahead of us.”
Notably, U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, who led the J6 prosecutions, said: “A pardon does not wipe away what occurred. There will always be a record of what occurred. There will always be vindication of rule of law, and there’s been substantial accountability for hundreds of people involved in illegal conduct that day.”
Why did Trump order the release of violent felony offenders among all the other nonviolent offenders — and in the process, divert attention from Biden’s pardons?
First, I think Trump’s concern was that the continued prosecution (persecution?) of hundreds of protesters, who have been charged but have yet to enter pleas or be convicted, would keep the Demos’ J6 inquisition going for at least another year. Trump wanted to put it behind and, as Johnson said, “move forward.”
Additionally, I think Trump’s decision was a smackdown of his House arch nemesis, Nancy Pelosi, for her histrionic “insurrection inquisition,” and a smackdown of Demos who refused to prosecute, much less even allow a public investigation of, Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who killed Ashli Babbitt — the only deadly confrontation that day.
Finally, back to bidding Biden bye-bye.
I am going to end one last time with these words to those who supported the Biden/Harris regime.
The slaughter of tens of thousands of men, women, and children by Islamic extremists in Afghanistan, by Russians attacking Ukraine, and of civilian victims in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is the direct result of Biden’s lethal foreign policy ineptitude.
The violent assaults on thousands of Americans by criminal illegal immigrants are the direct result of “Border Czar” Harris’s lethal open border policy. The drugs flooding across our southern border, resulting in the overdose deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, is also the direct result of the Biden/Harris open border policy.
The dramatic surge of violent crime across America since 2020 is the direct result of the Biden/Harris appeasement of violent criminals and their defund-police campaign.
The blood of all those victims is indisputably and irrevocably on their hands and those of their dullard supporters who are the staple of the Democrat Party’s “confederacy of dunces.”
Thankfully, America has been “unburdened from what has been!”

Why Joe Biden Had to Pardon Anthony Fauci

January 22, 2025
Mises Wire (of Mises Institute)
On Monday, in their final hours in office, former President Biden’s team chose to issue a blanket pardon to a number of close political allies and family members. Among that group was former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Anthony Fauci.
Fauci was pardoned “for any offense against the United States which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through the date of [the] pardon” relating in any way to his time as NIAID Director, on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, the White House covid-19 response team, or as Biden’s Chief Medical Advisor.
In the letter explaining the pardons, Biden defended the choice, saying, “baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families.” Even when those individuals have done nothing wrong, Biden’s ghostwriters reason, “the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances.”
Setting aside the fact that this was the exact tactic the political establishment used to try and tarnish Trump’s reputation, it’s revealing that the primary public reason presented for the pardons was to avoid investigations.
There are, of course, plenty of unseemly details about Fauci’s career that the political establishment would not like to see resurface in either the court of law or the court of public opinion. Many were detailed in RFK Jr.’s book The Real Anthony Fauci, such as the secretive and deadly drug experiments on hundreds of HIV-positive foster children at New York City’s Incarnation Children’s Center between 1988 and 2002 and the experiment that locked the heads of Beagle puppies into cages full of flesh-eating insects.
If Fauci had come under the federal government’s microscope, episodes like those could have done much to stain the name of the man Biden recently dubbed “a true hero.”
The same goes for Fauci’s completely inaccurate projection of the danger posed by a strain of swine flu in the 1970s, along with the millions of dollars of damages the government had to pay out due to injuries sustained in the related swine flu vaccine experiments.
Fauci also made similar failed projections relating to the 2005 bird flu, the 2009 swine flu, and the 2016 Zika virus. In all these cases, the virus was nowhere near as dangerous as Fauci had claimed it would be. But his warnings did result in his department and other parts of Washington’s public health bureaucracy getting billions of dollars in new funding.
Of course, these episodes pale in comparison to what Fauci is now most famous for: overseeing the covid pandemic.
Early on, Fauci famously explained on TV that cloth masks cannot stop people infected with covid from filling the air around them with virus particles. He then completely reversed his stance and advocated for universal masking and government mask mandates.
He later claimed his earlier comments on television had been lies meant to trick the public into not buying masks to protect the supply of masks for healthcare workers who, in fact, used a different kind of mask. He then acted confused when much of the public stopped trusting him.
Fauci also went on record in early April 2020 calling for nationwide lockdowns—something he would later deny doing. When some states like Florida started to reopen months later, Fauci warned the governors they were taking “a really significant risk.”
It quickly became obvious to anyone who was actually looking that Fauci was completely wrong about the effectiveness of masking and lockdowns. But Fauci ignored the data and kept pushing for these measures into 2021, after the vaccines had become available.
Another fact that had become obvious early in the pandemic was that children posed little risk of contracting and spreading covid. Yet, Fauci pushed for school closures and later school masking long after both were clearly shown to be unnecessary.
Finally, Fauci made several high-profile claims about the covid vaccines that would quickly prove false.
But making bad projections and giving bad advice isn’t a crime. So why was the political class worried about Fauci being investigated by the Department of Justice? Because a federal investigation would likely have related to the speculation that Fauci played a role in bringing the pandemic about in the first place.
One controversial method for studying viruses involves artificially making the virus more transmissible or virulent. This so-called “gain-of-function” research allows for virus mutation or possible treatments to be analyzed much more quickly, but it brings the risk of a much more dangerous genetically-engineered virus infecting people if a sample leaks out.
We know that an NGO that gets funding from Fauci’s department bankrolled gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses at the laboratory in Wuhan, China, in 2017 and 2018. And that the same NGO had received federal funding while conducting gain-of-function research going back to 2014, when a three-year ban on using federal funds for such experiments had been implemented and when Fauci’s pardon happens to come into effect.
While there is no evidence that these experiments are related to the coronavirus that would eventually spread out of Wuhan in late 2019 and early 2020, there is still much we do not know about the extent of US involvement in similar experiments at the Wuhan lab around the time covid started to spread.
That fact, paired with the panicked and secretive behavior of Fauci and his colleagues after the first reports of covid started to emerge, has raised suspicion about the possibility of US government involvement in covid’s origin. Biden’s DOJ refused to investigate these matters. But after Senator Rand Paul got Fauci to explicitly deny, under oath, that his department had funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, an investigation into the truth of the claim to determine if Fauci had committed perjury remained a possibility.
That was until Biden pardoned him Monday morning.
A federal investigation would have all but forced the media to revisit many of Fauci’s unseemly actions, failures, and possible crimes. That would have been uncomfortable for a political establishment that has embraced and celebrated Fauci for decades.
But the real danger of a high-profile Fauci investigation, from the political class’s perspective, would come if the public started to ask themselves why a bureaucrat with such a long track record of failure was embraced and celebrated by those in power. And why he enjoyed so much professional success before retiring with a net worth of more than $11 million.
Such questions could lead people to consider that maybe the decades of mistakes that transferred hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to public health agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and the crony healthcare system as a whole were not mistakes after all. That, perhaps, the federal public health apparatus is nothing more than a racket and that officials are professionally rewarded, not for keeping us safe, but for protecting and expanding that racket.
Those are the questions that could well have arisen had a federal investigation prompted a retrospective and examination of the career and conduct of Anthony Fauci. And that is why Biden had no choice but to pardon him.
