Matt Taibbi: Biden Pardoning Fauci and Others Could Be a Good Thing, Once the Pardon’s Delivered, the Person Can’t Plead the Fifth

EXCERPT:

TAIBBI: "Because now, once the pardon's delivered, the person can’t plead the Fifth. If they are brought before a grand jury, they cant take the Fifth anymore, or if they're brought before a congressional committee, they can't evoke their right against self-incrimination, so they have to say something. And this is what’s so interesting, because I’ve been talking to criminal defense attorneys, people who are former Senate investigators, some current Senate investigators, and they all kind of said the same thing. It’s So illogical to give somebody a pardon if you’re trying to cover up things, that the only reason you would really do it is if there serious crimes involved, right? So that's a red flag for us. When we see somebody getting a pardon, we think, well, why would they do that unless there’s something really bad there, right?"
