I think the opportunity we're maybe missing in all these pardons - or preemptive pardons - even is how useful they'll be in providing transparency for investigators. A pardoned person no longer has a 5th Amendment protection, since they're not at risk of prosecution... So drag them into Congress (or even grand juries) and ask for the allocution. What exactly have you been pardoned for? And with whom have you committed these crimes? And let's see all the documentation in regards to the activity you've been pardoned for.

I don't think it's important to prosecute Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton or even Dr. Fauci ... But it is vitally important to get their minions and co-conspirators to understand what they conspired to do.

These pardons, while corrupt, gross and indefensible, do provide a refreshing starting point for transparency.

    You have the right idea. Give them good reasons not to trust each other.

    I am not worried about breaking up the gang with some kind of psyop. The gang is out of business, laying low, plotting.

    If we get the minions, have their actions publicly known - if they're not criminal, they're sleazy. Hopefully that makes their further political career more difficult or outright ends it. The democrat's professional political class would be seriously degraded if the investigations show even 1/2 of what we suspect.

    There are several avenues of interest:

    1. The Biden Cover up.
    2. Big City Democrat Machine politicians.
    3. J6 instigators, prosecutors and judges...
    4. Deep State and DNC ties and directives to the media industrial complex. To violate civil rights and slander citizens.

    I like that 1500 J6 protesters were pardoned today.

    Part of me wants to just move on and let them go, living the rest of their lives with their reputations forever compromised as they dwindle into nothing.

    But it’s possible that your idea is a good one. Make it worse for them, drag them each into court to testify—reminding them that perjury would be a new crime, fully prosecutable—and don’t stop until they have told all. Then fully prosecute anyone they implicate who those behind-the-scenes Biden operators forgot to have him pardon.

    Make a huge, relentless splash of it. And never let them off the hook, make them and everyone involved regret ever trying this new preemptive pardon business. That may be the only way to nip this nasty nonsense in the bud.

    You can call it a psyop, but it's an ancient method that has met with much success for thousands of years. Don't disdain an available weapon and thereby make your job more difficult than it needs to be. Rush Limbaugh could operate with half his brain tied behind his back, but I don't recommend it for the rest of us. It gave the other side a sporting chance that I'm not willing to give them.
