According to Politico:
“Those who could face exposure include such members of Congress’ Jan. 6 Committee as Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Trump has previously said Cheney ‘should go to Jail along with the rest of the Unselect Committee!’”
The inclusion of Fauci in these considerations stems from his controversial leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, which drew sharp criticism from conservative voices. Fauci’s handling of public health messaging, particularly on masks and lockdowns, and his department’s involvement in gain-of-function research have fueled allegations of misconduct.
Support for the idea of preemptive pardons appears to be growing within Democratic ranks. Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey openly endorsed the concept, telling WGBH:
“If it’s clear by January 19 that revenge is his (Trump’s) intention, then I would recommend to President Biden that he provide those preemptive pardons to people, because that’s really what our country is going to need next year.”
Markey’s statement reflects fears within the Democratic Party that a second Trump presidency could bring sweeping investigations targeting their allies.
For those following the unfolding drama, this development is no surprise. As previously reported by The Gateway Pundit, Biden was likely to use his executive authority to issue more pardons to shield allies from future legal consequences. The potential recipients, however, represent some of the most polarizing figures in recent political memory:
- Liz Cheney: Criticized for suppressing evidence that Donald Trump authorized National Guard deployment during the Capitol protests.
- Adam Schiff: A central figure in perpetuating the Russia collusion narrative and leading Trump’s first impeachment.
- Anthony Fauci: Accused of misrepresenting key facts during the pandemic and overseeing ethically dubious research practices.
Despite facing legal risks, Schiff himself has expressed reservations about accepting a pardon, stating:
“I would urge the president not to do that. I think it would seem defensive and unnecessary.”
His hesitancy underscores the contentious nature of these potential pardons and raises questions about their political optics.

Critics argue that preemptive pardons would undermine the rule of law, creating an elite class above accountability. For conservatives, this move would be seen as a blatant attempt to shield political allies from investigations that could expose their wrongdoing.
As this story develops, one thing is clear: the Biden administration’s potential use of pardons will ignite fierce debates over justice, accountability, and the proper use of presidential power.
