Fixed Jim Biden

@Gabrielle Thank you.

@JeffBerman

That is why I am exercising my power under the Constitution to pardon James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.

Probably need a @mods to fix the resolution. Sadly I'll take a loss on it being reversed to YES but it's the right thing.

@EBSnyder @mods

Thank you. Missed this story and moved too quickly. Need to correct resolution to change Jim Biden to YES.

@JeffBerman

In preemptively pardoning the full membership of the bipartisan House Jan. 6 panel, Biden issued broad immunity for the nine representatives, and multiple staffers, who led the investigation into the violent attack on the Capitol

Is there a story about another round of pardons? Late Sunday night or Monday morning?

Last ones were today

@EBSnyder Yeah it just seems like there is an expected additional round. Either today or Monday. Otherwise prediction market odds would be much closer to 0%.

Did he pre-emptively pardon anyone yet? (Who else implies this). Curious about this and the general question of what presidents have premptively pardoned someone (Ford pardoning Nixon is the famous example - are there others?)

@MaybeNotDepends Hunter Biden was kind of a mix of past charges and pre-emptively pardoning any new possible charges within the time frame Biden laid out.
