Biden Mulls Preemptive Pardons for Trump's Potential Targets

TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration is considering preemptive pardons for figures like Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley, Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney, who may face retribution from the incoming Trump administration. This unprecedented move is being discussed amid concerns over Trump's potential use of the Justice Department for political revenge. While some Democrats support the pardons to protect against politically motivated prosecutions, others worry it could set a dangerous precedent. The discussions follow Biden's controversial pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, and reflect broader concerns about the politicization of the legal system.
