Recent pardons issued by President Joe Biden may have unintentionally opened the door for renewed scrutiny rather than shielding the individuals involved. Among those reportedly granted clemency were Dr. Anthony Fauci, former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, and others connected to controversial investigations and actions during Trump’s presidency.

The pardons may have eliminated important legal protections even though they were meant to provide protection. If a pardonee is asked to appear before Congress or a grand jury, they can no longer use the Fifth Amendment to avoid self-incrimination, according to legal experts. However, lying under oath would not be exempt from the pardons and would still be punishable under law.

Journalist Matt Taibbi, speaking on the matter, noted that the pardons could prove counterproductive. Legal conversations with both current and former Senate investigators, as well as criminal defense attorneys, have suggested that issuing a pardon in such a context raises questions about what might be uncovered.

It was explained by Taibbi that the only logical reason for a pardon to be granted under such circumstances might be linked to the potential exposure of extremely serious crimes. The decision was suggested to either be the result of a strategic misstep or to indicate deeper issues that may not yet have come to light. 4o

Attorney Jesse Binnall, who previously served as legal counsel for President Donald Trump, echoed similar concerns. In remarks shared on X, Binnall emphasized that those pardoned now face compulsory testimony and cannot refuse to appear before legal or congressional proceedings. He described the move as potentially great news for efforts to hold certain figures accountable.

Yet, skepticism remains regarding the venue in which legal actions would unfold. Washington, D.C., long criticized for political bias in judicial proceedings, is viewed by many on the right as unlikely to convict left-leaning figures, even when evidence is strong. Some have proposed relocating investigations and depositions outside the capital to ensure fair trials.

Among those urging that approach was retired U.S. Army officer and lawyer Kurt Schlichter, who said that because of what he called “systemic partisan bias,” proceedings ought to take place outside of D.C. Biden’s late-night pardons also included members of the January 6 Committee and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, who Trump and his allies have often lambasted for their participation in sabotaging the former president’s agenda.

In recent remarks from the Oval Office, Trump directly addressed the pardon of Cheney, calling her a disaster and questioning why Biden would extend clemency to figures heavily involved in what he described as politically motivated actions. Referring to the January 6 Committee as a “group of political folks,” Trump underscored his disapproval of the pardons, calling them a move that benefits individuals tied to what many view as partisan overreach. The legal and political consequences of these pardons are now expected to intensify as GOP-led investigations prepare to press forward with subpoenas, testimony, and potentially, accountability.
