Liz Peek believes President Joe Biden will absolve his corrupt cronies with "preemptive pardons" before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in the hopes of staving off investigations, the Fox News contributor said in her opinion piece. Meanwhile, Peek thinks Trump's "retribution will be his success" as Democrats face backlash.
Biden has been issuing "blanket pardons" for many in his administration and family members. He is working under the assumption that Trump will be looking to use the Justice Department against his political adversaries "because that’s what they have done," Peek noted.
Trump has already said that he's not out for his pound of flesh. "I’m really looking to make our country successful," Trump told Kristen Welker on Meet the Press.
"But here is the truth: Trump supporters – or at least this Trump supporter – don’t want vengeance. We want accountability," Peek wrote.
Peek believes that the strategy Biden is employing will be the Democrats' undoing. "Top Democrats have reportedly encouraged the president to grant preemptive blanket pardons to a slew of Trump’s adversaries, including Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former NIH Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, supposedly to protect them from his wrath," Peek wrote.
"They suggest that the nominations of Kash Patel to head the FBI and Pam Bondi for attorney general endanger the former president’s political foes, and that Trump World is bent on vengeance. Democrat leaders want Biden to protect them with a wave of his pardon wand," she continued.
"Issuing preemptive pardons is an offensive idea, but also so outlandish that it must be a smokescreen," Peek said. She believes that "Biden hopes to bury pardons of his family members among many others, hoping...they will not notice Jim or Hallie Biden on the list."
Besides his son Hunter Biden, whom the president already pardoned, other family members "cited by the House Oversight Committee as pocketing money from Hunter’s activities" may also receive the same treatment. "The more immunities granted, the fewer investigations and the safer Joe Biden himself will be," Peek continued.
However, Democrats are under the misguided belief that "Trump and his appointees will use the Department of Justice to punish some of the perpetrators of the years-long attacks on him, because that’s what they have done." Instead, it's voters who will be looking to hold these people accountable.
Peek believes the worst people in the Biden orbit have escaped consequences primarily due to media malpractice. "In the past, Americans counted on an ambitious press to hold government officials to account for such misdeeds; today, they cannot," Peek wrote.
"Few in the legacy media pursued credible reports of Biden family corruption, even though the infamous laptop (authenticated and held by the FBI for more than a year before the 2020 election) provided plenty of damaging information," she continued. The laptop also tracked how Joe Biden benefitted from his son's shady dealings.
"When the president pardoned his son, he was actually pardoning himself," Peek added. Even the Justice Department has skewed in favor of Democrats as "more than 1,100 Trump supporters who protested the 2020 election on January 6 have been rounded up, and over 600 sentenced to prison" while "there have been few prosecutions for the riots that took place after the murder of George Floyd," Peek noted.
The tide is turning, however. "It is infuriating that the Left has been winning so many rounds; on November 5 they began what we hope will be a long losing streak. Trump is right: his retribution will be his success. I cannot wait," Peek concluded.
Peek is correct that the entirety of Joe Biden's strategy centers on keeping him, his family, and his cronies out of the law enforcement spotlight. Unfortunately, that will do nothing to stop the political and electoral reckoning against the left that has already begun.
