One effect of Biden's pardons is that these people cannot plead the 5th if subpoenaed to testify about their pertinent activities and involvement. In addition, I don't think their pardons exempt them from conviction for perjury or contempt.

Accordingly, President Trump, his merry Trumpsters in Congress and their henchmen in the right-wing media should put up or shut up. Whenever they refer to "the Biden crime family" or the weaponized FBI and DOJ, they should immediately be cut-off and told that they should push for Congressional investigations into their demagoguery.

Oh, wait minute. Congressional Trumpsters conducted a lengthy investigation into the Biden family's financial activities and involvements. What did they find? Bupkis, O'Reilly likes to say.

Oh, wait another minute. Trump-appointed special counsel John Durham spent more than three years investigating the DOJ and the DOJ. There was only one conviction, that of an FBI guy for altering an e-mail that was used in a submission to the FISA Court. There were two acquittals after quick deliberations - oh yes, I forgot that was the jury's fault. Although critical of the FBI and the DOJ, Durham did not find weaponization of the DOJ or FBI.

The so-called liberal news media has done a poor job of rubbing the right-winger's faces into all this whenever they raise these battle cries.

Perhaps the players and their cheerleaders should be urged to push for supplemental investigations now that Biden cleared the way for pertinent testimony. Dare they?

President Trump, his Bootlickers and loyalists have given new meaning to the Freudian defense mechanism of projection.
