In the final hours of his presidency, Joe Biden issued pardons to people who committed no crimes: the members of the January 6th House Select Committee like Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney, police officers who testified at the J6th congressional hearings, Harry Dunn, Mike Fanone, Aquilino Gonell, and others, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Millie, several of Biden's family members and others.
