TWEETS OF NOTE

• (@WhitlockJason) The preemptive pardons... unprecedented? That's the new standard? Presidents can hire people to commit crimes with the promise of a preemptive pardon? This is how you save democracy? Tweet.
• (@RandPaul) If there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden’s pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal. As Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed. Fauci’s pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception. Ignominious! Anthony Fauci will go down in history as the first government scientist to be preemptively pardoned for a crime Tweet.
