Democrats and their media echo chamber are in full panic mode, demanding preemptive pardons for their political allies before Donald Trump even steps into the Oval Office again. The left-wing hysteria has reached such fevered levels that figures like Sen. Ed Markey and MSNBC regular Jill Wine-Banks are essentially begging President Joe Biden to hand out “get out of jail free” cards to everyone on Trump’s so-called “enemies list.”
Democrats are calling for Joe Biden to pardon his entire administration

From FBI Director Christopher Wray to Liz Cheney and even Biden himself, the left is treating preemptive pardons as their new safety blanket, insisting it’s the only way to fend off Trump’s alleged “revenge tour.” Never mind that issuing preemptive pardons implies guilt—something the Democrats seem to conveniently overlook as they spin tales of Trump transforming the Department of Justice into his personal vendetta machine.
Wine-Banks went so far as to praise Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden, calling it a “relief” and “thrilling.” She suggested Biden extend this courtesy to nearly everyone who’s ever worked against Trump, including special counsel Jack Smith and his entire staff. “He will need a pardon because he is going to be harassed and charged for no crimes whatsoever,” Wine-Banks claimed, ignoring the irony of her statement as she defended the man whose DOJ has spent years targeting Trump.
The Daily Beast’s Eleanor Clift, never one to miss out on melodrama, argued Biden must act immediately to “safeguard a lengthening list of people who are on the receiving end of Trump’s threats.” According to Clift and her allies, preemptive pardons are essential to protect those who have done “nothing wrong” but find themselves quaking in fear of accountability.

Let’s be honest—what they really fear isn’t revenge; it’s accountability. The administrative state, or “deep state,” as it’s often called, has operated with impunity for decades, wielding unelected power to push its own agenda. This includes burying stories like Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” to protect Joe Biden in 2020. The infamous letter signed by 51 intel officials suggesting the laptop was Russian disinformation? That wasn’t a mistake—it was a calculated move to mislead voters, all while the FBI sat on the laptop itself.
Now, as Trump prepares to return to the White House, unelected bureaucrats and Democrats alike are terrified that the gravy train of unaccountability is about to derail. Trump has made it clear that the administrative state is overdue for a purge, and that has the left scrambling to protect their insiders. They frame their fear as a concern over “politicizing” jobs, but the reality is they’re petrified of losing their ability to act as an unaccountable fourth branch of government.
Trump’s focus on dismantling the administrative state is not a “revenge tour,” as the left hysterically claims. It’s a promise to restore accountability and transparency to a government that has run amok. If unelected bureaucrats are afraid of being replaced by people who will actually do their jobs, that’s a reflection of their failures—not Trump’s agenda.
