Donald Trump grumbled that he’s unable to “go after” the members of the House select committee that investigated the events surrounding the January 6 riots because of Joe Biden’s preemptive pardon, which the former president said he issued to prevent his successor from prosecuting them.

Besides raging about his inability to exact retribution on the lawmakers who probed the attempted insurrection and his role in inciting the rioters, Trump also patted himself on the back for pardoning most of those convicted of crimes related to the Capitol attack.

    No see, this makes sense. If this administration is ever going to end, you know his last action will be pardoning everyone, and he doesn’t want the precedent of pardons being ignored.

      I don’t disagree, but are they acting like they think they’ll never be out of power again?
