Adam Schiff said one word that just came back to haunt him

Jan 24, 2025

Adam Schiff began the second Trump administration off on the wrong foot.

Schiff made a bad mistake in front of the entire world.

And Adam Schiff said one word that just came back to haunt him.

Adam Schiff’s previous comments on preemptive pardons embarrass Democrats 

When Donald Trump prepared to leave office following the 2020 election, the media invented an entire scandal about Trump issuing preemptive pardons for himself, his family members, and his political allies.

Trump did no such thing.

But Joe Biden did.

On his way out the door, Biden pardoned his brothers and their spouses, his son Hunter, the members of the January 6 Committee, the Capitol Hill Police Officers who testified before the committee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and General Mark Milley.

When the media whipped up a frenzy about Trump supposedly considering preemptive pardons, then Congressman Adam Schiff made sure to race to their nearest television camera to get his digs in.

In December 2020, MSNBC host Joy Reid asked Schiff if innocent people required a pardon.

“Have you ever heard of somebody getting a preemptive pardon who is an innocent person?” Reid inquired.

“No,” Schiff matter of factly responded.

Adam Schiff is now a United States Senator and the recipient of a preemptive pardon by Joe Biden due to his work on the January 6 Committee.

Members of the committee stand accused of doctoring evidence.

A House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report also accused the committee of destroying records.

Joe Biden tried to claim that issuing these pardons was no commentary on the recipients’ guilt.

The Supreme Court and the Justice Department – including when it was under Joe Biden’s control – beg to differ.

In the case of Burdick v. United States, the Supreme Court held that a pardon carries with it an “an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it.”

A 2006 Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel memo stated that “a pardon … does not erase the conviction as a historical fact or justify the fiction that the pardoned individual did not engage in criminal conduct.” 

And Joe Biden’s own Justice Department argued in front of a federal judge that pardons don’t erase guilt.

“[A] pardon at some unspecified date in the future … would not unring the bell of conviction,” Biden’s prosecutors contended. “In fact, quite the opposite. The defendant would first have to accept the pardon, which necessitates a confession of guilt.”

No matter what Joe Biden, Adam Schiff, or their allies in the press say, the law is clear.

Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt for the crimes the President granted clemency for.

Adam Schiff knew this to be true in 2020 when he railed against fictional claims Donald Trump planned preemptive pardons that the media invented.

Now Adam Schiff and the rest of the Democrat Party got hung on their own petard?
