Does anybody really believe that Adam Schiff doesn’t want a preemptive pardon?
That’s what he claims, and that’s what he said. But he didn’t say he doesn’t want a pardon—he just doesn’t want a preemptive one. That’s like saying, “I’m not going to eat the cake right now… but leave it on the counter. Just in case.”
Schiff conveniently leaked this morsel during an interview with George Stephanopoulos, another maestro of moral posturing. Stephanopoulos—whose journalistic credibility is rivaled only by his ability to sidestep Clinton-era scandals—asked Schiff if he thought Trump might prosecute members of the Jan. 6 committee.
“We don’t need pardons because we’re proud of our work.” Schiff replied.
Oh, really? Proud of the committee’s work? Work that included hiding exculpatory evidence, cherry-picking videos, and pushing a narrative so flimsy it makes Biden’s staircase skills look stable?
Schiff has claimed that pardons set a bad precedent. And well, Shifty can’t have his reputation impugned with the specter of a pardon. Who could blame him though for not wanting a pardon from Biden. That’s one complete list of scoundrels. Clearly, Shifty wants us to know that he’s got principles. He likes his pardon served fresh, not pre-packaged.
The Benny Hill Moment
Here’s where the comedy ramps up. While Schiff was pretending to be the virtuous hero of this melodrama, Rep. Bennie Thompson, the former Jan. 6 committee chair, was busy saying, “Sure, I’d take a preemptive pardon!” He even called it Biden’s prerogative. Prerogative? Sure. But the moment you accept a pardon, you’re basically hanging a neon “I’m guilty” sign around your neck.
This brings us to Adam Kinzinger, Schiff’s ex-committee buddy, who once declared, “The only reason I know to ask for a pardon is you think you committed a crime.”

Kinzinger’s words aged like a room-temperature tuna sandwich. Maybe these two need to get with Bennie Johnson before they lock in their final answers.
The Insurrection That Wasn’t
Let’s not forget why Schiff and his crew are squirming in the first place. The Jan. 6 narrative was their crown jewel—a supposed coup attempt that turned out to be more of a Capitol-themed field trip. When the footage finally emerged, it didn’t show rampaging hordes. Instead, we watched patriots meandering through the Capital as if it were The Louvre. One guy even stopped to straighten some papers.
That’s the Left’s big insurrection, that they compared to the Civil War and the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.
They called Trump treasonous in his non-actions. But speaking of treason, Schiff’s team conveniently deleted mountains of data related to their “findings.” How many guesses do you need to understand why?
Their accusations against Trump and the protesters wouldn’t survive a light breeze, let alone real Department of Justice scrutiny.
Schiff’s Private Pardon Chat with Biden
While Schiff claims he doesn’t need a pardon, he spoke with Biden for exactly that reason. The two discussed J6, because Joe Biden is planning to pardon the entire committee. Because they are guilty.
Why would Stephanopoulos even broach the subject, if this weren’t a reasonable consideration?
The January 6 Committee was a total farce. The people selectively chosen. After their kangaroo court investigation, they reported what they were told to report. In truth, they lied about evidence. Then, they buried exonerating footage for years. Now they obviously have media minions running interference for them.
For years, Schiff painted Trump as the villain of democracy. But now, he’s the one looking for a legal life raft. The irony is thicker than Hunter Biden’s tax evasion file. Nobody believes Schiff doesn’t want a pardon. Doublespeak about as convincing as Bill Clinton’s wedding vows.
