It is important to consider the implications of the incoming Trump administration’s statements regarding their intentions to target individuals in the media, the January 6 committee, and create an enemies list upon taking office.
If we take them at their word, these pardons would protect individuals who have exercised their first amendment rights and acted in what they believed to be the best interest of America. These individuals may face scrutiny from the new administration, including a potentially biased FBI director, and be at risk of government overreach and prosecution.
Therefore, pardons for individuals who have not been found guilty of any wrongdoing may be necessary to protect them from unjust persecution. Just as we immunize ourselves against the flu annually, these pardons would serve as a safeguard against the incoming administration’s potential efforts to unfairly target and prosecute individuals. It is crucial for Americans to be aware of these risks and take action to protect their rights.
