It was enough to prompt Biden to offer a pardon. But it won’t protect him from State or civil suits. It actually puts him in a box. He can be brought in for further questioning, under oath, without the ability to claim 5th Amendment rights against self incrimination.

Fauci? A congressional referral was sent to the DoJ for perjury regarding statements he made in reference to his support, direction, and funding of the Gain of Function research that spawned Covid 19. And his monetary gains from the response he directed.

That’s right. Covid 19 was engineered and created to be deadly, it didn’t evolve from natural mutation. The common cold is also a coronavirus and people still die from it every year. But it is neither feasible nor desirable to develop a vaccine or inoculate for it. Immunology and nature need to take their course. Even the early strains of Covid 19 weren’t very deadly for healthy people, but combined with the wrong medical procedures, were deadly to the already compromised. My instruction in microbiology and immunology was a long time ago, but I recognized that everything that was pushed by the government , from masking, to shutdowns, to vaccinations, flew in the face of what we were taught. In fact, it closely resembled what was laid out in the Great Barrington Declaration. Which was shunned by the government and Pharma.

Anyone think we should have a game for true second?

Good find. From the discussions I’ve heard the presidential pardon doesn’t apply to State, lower court, or civil cases.

Also pardoned are the ex-capitol police officers who have been perjuring their way through the J6 trials.

I don’t know if it will come to bear, but the person taking a pardon can be called to testify in the matter at hand, cannot invoke 5th Amendment rights, and if found to be perjuring themself, be subject to those charges.

Is this a conspiracy theory?

Today feels like New Year’s. The country gets to turn the page, gets a restart. And there’s football.

There are and there aren’t. As I understand it. There are federal laws that say illegals can be deported for sex crimes, this one said they shall be. As crazy as it sounds, there have been instances where they weren’t.

Jake Tapper joins little Georgie Stepinawfulstuff.

It’s likely that they are hearing the feedback on their ridiculous rantings in the earlier hearings. I expect them to try to formulate their last gasp for Kennedy and Gabbard.

Is Bartlett colorblind? Shoes?

You guys can learn to address him as Secretary Hegseth.

Not a good idea.

Because people keep recognizing his leadership qualities.

He’s not considered a backbencher by anyone not afflicted with TDS. Quite the opposite, he’s been considered an up and coming, promising candidate for bigger and better positions for years. You’ve never met him, have you? You don’t know him, do you. You just allow your affliction to take over and spout off revelations of your own ignorance, dragging your own shredded credibility down further.

I’ve been hearing Pete Hegseth’s accolades for better than two years. He’s been a guest on many shows that I don’t suppose you watch. A recurring theme is his being a soldier’s soldier and an excellent candidate for a high position, especially involving the military. We’d be better off with a drunk Hegseth than a sober Loyd Austin, who was AWOL and unreachable for at least two extended periods during his term. When Lincoln received reports that Grant was a drunk, he said find out what he’s drinking and send some to all my generals. Your opinion that he’s a nobody, a backbencher, picked for his looks, is entirely fabricated and you couldn’t support it if you had to.

I didn’t see property, sales, car tags, excise, licensing and permitting, etc, on the list.

I can’t see that anything has changed.

I’m not a lawyer either, but I read a lot on it and listen to podcasts where lawyers discuss both current and historic cases. The one line that I keep in the back of my mind, forget who it is attributed to, is you might not get justice, but you will get a decision. Byron York reports that the Smith report admits that he wasn’t sure he could get a conviction on insurrection, even in an adversarial DC court, so he didn’t charge anyone with it.

I can assure you, Jack Smith is not a straight shooter. Turley is, to a fault. It would be my preference to read opinions of lawyers who have taken cases before the Supreme Court and won, not one who has been rejected unanimously.

Jack Smith and his associates misrepresented facts and evidence in the proceedings, and lied to the judge. What do you think he did in his ‘report?

I caught her telling Shiff he was doing the same thing he’d been censured for.
