President Joe Biden will present the Presidential Citizens Medal to former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson for their work on the January 6th committee. The ceremony will also honor 18 other individuals for their contributions to American society.
President Joe Biden will give January 6 committee leaders former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson the Presidential Citizens Medal today at 5:00 PM ET. Biden will award the Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 people in a ceremony Thursday at the White House, including Americans who fought for marriage equality, a pioneer in treating wounded soldiers, and two of the president’s longtime friends, former Sens. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn.
“President Biden believes these Americans are bonded by their common decency and commitment to serving others,” the White House said in a statement. “The country is better because of their dedication and sacrifice.”Trump “and conservative lawyer John Eastman for criminal prosecution because of their alleged efforts to subvert the peaceful transfer of presidential power on Jan. 6.”she “has raised her voice — and reached across the aisle—to defend our Nation and the ideals we stand for: Freedom.
Mr. Biden is considering blanket preemptive pardons for prominent critics of Trump from both parties to protect them from possible “retribution” or legal prosecution by the incoming administration, multiple people familiar with the ongoing discussions told CBS News earlier this month. Among those who were under consideration are Cheney, Sen. Adam Schiff of California, who served on the Jan.
I suspect at some point, for reasons articulated in Dobbs, SCOTUS will take back certain pardons finding no intent on the part of the founders to enable a premeditated crime spreeHypothetically, lets say Trump gets to the end of his 4 year term and offers blanket pardons to everyone who was in his administration. Think of the howling coming from the democrats.
Alternatively, Trump could instruct his appointees to push through his policies by hook or crook with the promise of pardons to cover everything.
