Former President Bill Clinton called out President Joe Biden for potentially issuing preemptive pardons to his wife and other alleged political targets of President-elect Donald Trump. Speaking on “The View,” Clinton expressed his hope that Biden would not waste time attempting to get even with his opponents through presidential pardons, calling it a “fool’s errand.”
When co-host Sunny Hostin asked about the possibility of pardoning Hillary Clinton, who has been targeted by Trump and his supporters for her use of a private email server while serving as Secretary of State, Bill Clinton defended his wife, stating that she did nothing wrong and followed all the rules. He also pointed to a State Department investigation that found no evidence of deliberate mishandling of classified information.
But Clinton’s concern goes beyond just his wife. Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, has suggested that numerous current and former officials, including Hillary Clinton, could face criminal investigation for potential crimes. However, Clinton maintains that going after political opponents is a waste of time and that Biden should not use his pardon power for such purposes.
Meanwhile, Biden has already issued a preemptive pardon to his own son, Hunter Biden, for any potential convictions, investigations, or charges that may arise between 2014 and 2024. This sparked speculation that Biden may be considering extending similar pardons to other potential targets of the Trump administration. While White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that Biden is reviewing other pardons and commutations, Clinton’s remarks serve as a cautionary reminder against abusing the pardon power.
As the liberal media continues to stir up controversy and division, Bill Clinton’s words stand as a rare example of bipartisan reason and caution. With Trump’s term coming to an end, it is important for Biden to prioritize healing and unity rather than seeking retribution against his opponents. Such actions would only serve to deepen the political divide in an already divided nation.
