Op-ed: 

Circumnavigating a Presidential Pardon...Maybe 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.  

“Nothing in life is absolute except birth, death, and taxes” as the old saying goes. But regarding absolutes I'll add to those words that neither are our federal, state, or local laws for even the Constitution itself has been amended time and time again; Supreme Court decisions have been overturned; and laws ranging across all government levels have been overturned, amended or totally rewritten when legal “loopholes” were found.

In the early morning hours of January 20, 2025...the very day Donald J. Trump was to be sworn in as America's 47th president...then still President Joe Biden issued “preemptive pardons” to Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley,* Liz Cheney and other members of the House Select Committee's investigation into the January 6th, what was never an “insurrection.” Then just minutes before he officially was to leave office, Biden did what just days before he said he would not do, as in he issued “preemptive” pardons for his brother James Biden and his wife Sara; his sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband John; and his youngest brother Francis for “unspecified crimes.”   

But ”unspecified crimes” is quite the misnomer for many of us are well aware of what said crimes might actually be, in fact there's a multitude of crimes to chose from. But for now we simply don't know exactly which crimes, if any, the Bidens might have committed that they deserved being pardoned for.

So here let's first discuss what I believe these family pardons were issued for.

During questioning by reporters regarding these pardons Joe Biden claimed that for him not to do so would have left his family open to “politically motivated investigations” after he's left office...as in “revenge” by the now Trump administration...the very thing Biden and his people relished in doing to Trump and his family before, during, and after the 2020 election. In fact, these particular “preemptive pardons” were not coincidentally issued...and this key...because they were issued only after House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer publicly announced and requested that Donald Trump's incoming Department of Justice investigate, and if enough evidence was found, to then move forward with prosecuting Biden's family members now pardoned regarding their allegedly making “false statements to Congress” during what was then an ongoing “impeachment” inquiry regarding President Joe Biden himself.

In fact, when further questioned about these pardons specifically relating to “unspecified crimes,” Joe Biden arrogantly stated that, “The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.” And while that might be true to some legal extent, the fact does remain that while “specificity” is but an unsaid requirement for a presidential pardon, many legal and Constitutional scholars...Alexander Hamilton himself being one...have stated in their writings that regardless of what amounts to the “unrestricted and vague language in the Constitution’s pardon clause” our “Framers” knew well that there should be “specificity”...as in naming charges leveled...regarding any pardons issued.

And how do we know this...because the historical analysis and commentary from those persons stated above do tend to agree that the Constitution's “Framers” based presidential pardon power on the British monarch's power to pardon...as it was a well-established practice at the time the Constitution was being written...along with the fact that it was not objected to at the time.

A simple oversight on our “Framers” part perhaps, but the fact remains that presidential pardons do extend to all “federal criminal offenses,” and that said offenses... whether one is formally charged or not...are usually named either before, during, or after an official federal investigation or inquiry has takes place, especially one that does involve the possible “impeachment” of a then sitting U.S. president. Now here also know that the Constitution's “pardon clause” specifically provides for but two limits on said power with the first being that “clemency”...as in a pardon...may only be granted for “Offenses against the United States,”...meaning state “criminal offenses” and federal or state civil claims are not covered by said pardon; and second that a president’s “clemency” (pardon) authority cannot ever be used in “Cases of Impeachment,” but nowhere does the Constitution give a time frame nor a time limit for when an inquiry or actual “impeachment” proceedings must take place.

In fact, Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution clearly states that, “he (meaning the president) shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” And it's here where the timing of Biden's family pardons also comes into play along with its corresponding “cause and effect” clearly relating back to what was an official federal inquiry regarding the possible “impeachment” of Joe Biden himself, the very thing which presidential pardons...as in presidential “clemency” authority...cannot ever be issued for...that cannot be repeated enough.

Simply, the “preemptive pardons” Biden gave to his family not only goes against the Constitution's own words, “except in Cases of Impeachment,” but the Bidens believed to be “false statements” were given during what was an official “impeachment” inquiry thus it directly relates to the very thing the Constitution forbids any president from doing. And while no court or Congress can overturn a presidential pardon...an act of “clemency” in showing “mercy, compassion, or forgiveness” to one who has gone through the legal system...as in those who have been charged, tried, convicted, with sentence adjudicated for a “federal criminal offense” committed...no formal charges against the Bidens...to date...have been leveled against them. 

And yet Comer still wants the matter looked into for charges of “impeachment” can still be leveled against Joe Biden even after the fact that he's no longer in office, for again, the Constitution gives no time limit for when an “impeachment” inquiry, charges being leveled, or an actual “impeachment” trial must take place,

Again, another possible oversight by our “Framers,” but one that can actually work to help negate Biden's family pardons issued if, and I only say if, Trump's incoming DOJ and its new AG Pam Bondi do decide there's validity to HOC Chair Comer's request to look into what's believed to be the “false statements to Congress” made by Biden's family members during what was an official “impeachment”  inquiry. And if found to be true then Joe Biden himself might well be in deep trouble what with both chambers of Congress having the power to proceed, at any time, with an “impeachment” inquiry, hearing, and trial against any executive branch official, including an ex-president, that has either resigned from office or left office as per term limits.

Now here I know that some will say that I am playing a misplaced game of “word semantics” in regards to the word “impeachment”...which is the very heart of the matter...as well as what I've presented being but mere conjecture on my part, but with Joe Biden's ever so convenient timing regarding the issuance of said family pardons being anything but a coincidence, and with his having added the word “preemptive” to these pardons, the fact remains that what Biden has actually done is to put the final nail in his own legacy's coffin for he pardoned those who seemingly (and I believe deliberately) made “false statements to Congress” during what was an official “impeachment” inquiry.

But here let's circle back for a bit to the specific word “preemptive” for “pre” anything means before the fact or before an action is taken, And while, in this case, no action was taken at that time to move forward with charges of “impeachment,” that in no way negates the fact that the Biden family were believed to have given “false statements” during what was an official House “impeachment” inquiry, a criminal offense under the U.S. Code of Laws.

In fact, false statement charges under 18 USC Section 1001 may be brought against someone who makes a “false statement” to an agent or agency of the federal government (the House Oversight Committee and/or James Comer himself likely meets the broad sense of this definition), and did so in connection with a federal matter...which an “impeachment” inquiry surely is. And while said statement must be “materially” false to be illegal...as in it having a “natural tendency to influence or is capable of influencing” the agent the statement is made to...as well as it being relevant to finding, charging, or convicting the one being looked into...as in Joe Biden...in my opinion any “false statements” made by Biden's family would obviously be made to try and stop Joe Biden's “impeachment” inquiry from moving forward.

In other words, if someone willfully gives a knowingly “false statement”...a“material statement”...and it meets the element of “materiality”...which I believe is what James Comer now might suspect is what these “unspecified crimes" relates to...and if the right attorneys are involved...attorneys who can “dot all the I's and cross all the legal T's”...nothing will negate the fact that the inquiry in question would surely expose wrongdoing by Biden's family in that it revolved around the word “impeachment,” the very thing which Joe Biden cannot Constitutionally pardon anyone for. 

 

So logic then dictates that with the process having legally been played out, it would show these pardons to be “invalid,” and therefore would not “stand.” And who knows, but maybe in the end both Joe Biden and his family members could possibly be staring at four walls. 

Now as for Dr. Anthony Fauci, whose pardon does have a time frame attached to it as it's backdated to 2014 the year a U.S. ban on “gain of function virus research” took effect...the very research Fauci has been rightfully accused of outsourcing to China...that does not negate the fact that an actual presidential pardon, as per Constitutional law, can only relate to federal criminal “offenses against the United States”... which Fauci's actions clearly make a case of being.

So while Joe Biden’s pardon, unfortunately, does protect Fauci from immediate “criminal prosecution,” it does not garner him a “get out of jail free” card for it does not pardon Fauci for any future crimes he might commit nor will said pardon stop any Department of Justice investigation from going forward if they so choose to do so. In fact, Fauci's pardon, as written, also leaves the door open for state and/or individual charges, as well as civil lawsuits to be leveled against him.

Remember, states have the authority and the right to pursue “charges” against Fauci, and then prosecute him under their own state laws especially if a state's AG can prove “fraud” in that Dr. Fauci did knowingly misrepresent facts to influence state decisions which, in turn, led them to spend “unnecessary amounts” of taxpayer monies for “fraudulent reasons.” Also, civil lawsuits initiated by private citizens can, and hopefully soon will...be filed by those who were directly harmed by Fauci’s “fraudulent decisions”...decisions enacted that directly led to a loved ones suffering and/or death; his causing what is legally known as “reckless endangerment” regarding harmful government policies enacted on his recommendations; and in certain cases by individuals being forced by Fauci's policies to get “jabbed” or lose their job and income.

And dare not forget that foreign governments and/or its citizens can also bring charges against Dr. Fauci for crimes committed against their countries and people. In fact, the Constitution in Article III, Section II, Clause I, authorizes the federal courts to hear certain cases that involve foreign states, but does not expressly provide foreign states a right of access to U.S. federal courts. However...and this is key...the U.S. Supreme Court has held that “a foreign sovereign, as well as any other foreign person, who has a demand of a civil nature against any person here, may prosecute it in our courts.” And this ruling was based upon general international law principles of comity,* and in part on the fact that the Constitution expressly extends the judicial power to controversies between a “State, or citizens thereof,” and “foreign States, citizens, or subjects,” without reference to the subject-matter of the controversy.

And lastly, remember, Fauci not only repeatedly made public statements about treatments, vaccines, boosters, and pandemic policies that have proven to be inaccurate, misleading, or even outright lies, but that he also perjured himself on numerous occasions during the pandemic itself. And most importantly, the ever vile Dr. Anthony Fauci has yet to come clean about the true nature of both his and the NIAIs ties to China's infamous “Wuhan Lab of Virology”...the very lab that through “gain of function research”...which Fauci approved U.S. grant monies for...took what was a naturally occurring bat virus and genetically manipulated it into becoming Covid-19, or what I believe was actually a bio-weapon released...accidentally released a bit too early perhaps...but with its intended purpose achieved...which the over seven plus million** victims families can surely attest to.

Simply, Biden's pardon was given to a man who stills claims he did nothing wrong...so why then did he accept said pardon? I guess that when one is stuck between a legal “rock and a hard place“ of their own doing even minimal protection is better than none. 

And in regards to both Joe Biden's family pardons and Dr. Anthony Fauci's pardon, remember as I stated in the beginning of this article, “nothing is legally absolute.” And to that I do say, cases closed.

Investigative Report:
Emails, Servers, Leaks, and Cover-Ups...
Part 2 of 2
By: Craig Andresen and Diane Sori / Right Side Patriots on www.cprworldwidemedia.net

Yesterday, in Part 1 of 'Emails, Servers, Leaks, and Cover-Ups' (http://thepatriotfactor.blogspot.com/201...) we outlined the more than suspicious nature of Platte River Networks, the company that has been in charge of Hillary Clinton’s private email accounts and server since 2013. Given how deep the scandal goes, not to mention the cover-up of the entire situation from alpha to omega...it should not be a bit surprising that the Director of Sales and Marketing for Platte River Networks, one David DeCamillis was once accused of 14 counts of fraud while raking in $1.5 million dollars as an executive for $500 million dollar Ponzi scam artist Lou Pearlman. DeCamillis then took the position at Platte River Networks and declared bankruptcy owing some $24 million dollars in debts.

All of this, along with the disclosures we related in Part 1 of this 2-part report leads one to wonder just what sort of background checks or vetting was done by Hillary Clinton before striking the deal with Platte River Networks. Easy money would say none, but if you were going to violate the Espionage Act of 1917 and knew you would have a great deal to hide...would you go with an above-board company or with an outfit like Platte River which is looking none too good right now?

And who do you suppose paid for the wiping of those servers? We suspect it was Arab monies...via donations to and possibly laundered through the Clinton Foundation...that picked up that tab.

Let's now get down to the emails of Hillary's that we actually know of, who leaked them and why.
 

Last Tuesday, with a wink and a nod, Hillary finally agreed to turn over her private server to the FBI. Why...because she had ample time to wipe it completely clean and sanitize whatever was there that forensic analysts would have found.

What was on that private server when the FBI finally got their hands on it?

Op-ed: 

Is the key to the IRS scandal hiding in Russia...part 2 of 3

By: Diane Sori


As we all know Obama and his cronies are currently plagued by many scandals, and the IRS scandal is one of the most grievous of all facing him and his administration today.

As I wrote earlier this week concerning the missing IRS e-mails, Craig Andresen...my RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS partner...and I both believe they went missing because they show Barack HUSSEIN Obama to be the one who ordered Lois Lerner to award 501(c)(3) status to known terrorist front groups, including to Da'wa, where his brother, Malik Obama, was its secretary at the time the status was given. But this affront is just the beginning of how deep the missing e-mail trail might go.

As Craig presented on Wednesday in part 1 (http://www.thenationalpatriot.com/2014/06/24/is-the-key-to-the-irs-scandal-hiding-in-russia-part-1/) of our 3-part investigative series it's our belief that Edward Snowden...the man who blew the whistle on the NSA spying on 'We the People' by bringing to light an eavesdropping operation that included the phone metadata program; the NSA questioning and tapping into internet communications through companies like Google and Facebook; and with the widespread tapping of international communication networks...that this very man just might hold the key to the missing e-mails. A key that includes his being able to either retrieve them or that he might actually be in possession of them...a scenario that is more likely.

And now word has been circulating through cyberspace that Edward Snowden wants to come home to America but can't for once he sets foot on American soil the DOJ has said he will be arrested under the Espionage Act of 1917.

Simply, the Espionage Act of 1917 (ch. 30, tit. I § 3, 40 Stat. 217, 219), and an amendment to it known as the Sedition Act, was Woodrow Wilson's response to World War I's so-called "warfare by propaganda" and had parts to it that infringed upon freedom of speech. The parts dealing with espionage contained standard clauses criminalizing "obtaining information respecting the national defense with intent or reason to believe that the information to be obtained is to be used to the injury of the United States" and it deems a criminal anyone who, "when the United States is at war, shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States or to promote the success of its enemies and whoever when the United States is at war..."

Remember, the U.S. was at war...and still is...when Snowden became a whistleblower, and that the feds still claim that what Snowden divulged in regards to the NSA 'supposedly' spying on American citizens is simply NOT true, and that by doing what he did he jeopardized national security.

And while these charges against Snowden...in our opinion...are totally without basis as the NSA did indeed spy on 'We the People' and continues to do so, we believe the only tangible threat to America's national security comes from Obama himself along with his administration and NOT from the man being charged in absentia.

So while it's Craig's and my belief that charging Snowden with spying as per the Espionage Act is ludicrous at best, what's even more ludicrous is the feds adding "aiding and abetting" the enemy to the original charges, as Snowden did NO such thing. What Snowden did was inform 'We the People, about the illegal activities this administration, courtesy of the NSA, had done and continues to do. And how can what he did be considered espionage for if anyone had been spying and garnering information for an enemy logic would dictate that he would have 'sold' what he found to whomever he was spying for, and Eric Snowden did NO such thing.

Edward Snowden was a whistleblower and NOTHING more nor NOTHING less...a whistleblower who exposed illegal goings on in one branch of this corrupt Obama administration...in an administration that has NO respect for our nation's rule of law...has NO respect for the U.S. Constitution. And for that matter, the highest court in our land...the U.S. Supreme Court...NEVER ruled on the constitutionality or lack thereof of the Espionage Act of 1917 as it currently applies or does NOT apply to whisleblowers. So until they do, the Espionage Act as it now stands actually violates the First Amendment rights of those exposing corrupt acts done by our federal government.

So while the DOJ claims Snowden would be arrested if he ever returned to the U.S. said arrest itself would be questionable for without a SCOTUS ruling on whistleblowers the DOJ themselves could be breaking the law by the very act of arresting him...especially arresting him under the Espionage Act of 1917. And while some are calling for Snowden to be given immunity from prosecution what is NOT understood is that for one to be given immunity under our existing laws one has to be either a witness...which Snowden is NOT as he is the one being charged...or one has to a person who has committed and is being charged with said minor crime in order to entice that person to testify against someone who has committed a more grievous crime...like murder or kidnapping. And since Snowden did neither, giving him immunity from prosecution technically does NOT apply in his case.

However, there are a few ways that Snowden could return home and NOT be arrested, and that is by either offering him a plea bargain, granting him clemency, or giving him a presidential pardon under Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution for what is believed to be Snowden's offenses against the United States. But the question is why would the feds want to do any of that when it's the federal government's wrongdoings that Snowden has exposed and could expose even more of.

Why...because by doing so would be in the feds best interest as any deal secured for Snowden NOT to be prosecuted would surely require him to answer questions that the feds really need answers to...questions like what is the full extent of the information he was able to obtain; how was he able to do what he did when he did NOT possess certain security clearances needed to do so; how could future systems be made more secure; and what else does he know that he has NOT yet divulged...especially any information he may have on other federal agencies besides the NSA. And most importantly of all...does he have anything on the IRS and the missing e-mails that can be traced directly back to Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Craig and I both believe he does for simple common sense assures that Edward Snowden must have known that if all was NOT right with the NSA things had to be NOT right in other federal agencies as well. And smart man that he is, you have to know that Eric Snowden would find a way to garner that information...incriminating information...that he is waiting for just the right time to release.

Remember, if Snowden has more information...and some believe he might be in possession of up to 1.5 million YES million documents...in that information could be proof positive that the Obama government NOT only broke the law under the Fourth Amendment (which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause) by spying on American citizens who posed NO threat whatsoever to national security, but information that could also directly tie Barack HUSSEIN Obama into the act of "aiding and abetting" the enemy during a time of war.

So if I was the feds I would tread very carefully with Edward Snowden...a man who should be hailed a hero...for without his disclosures we would still NOT know the extent of the grievous abuses of power our federal government is perpetrating against 'We the People.' And if I was the feds I would stop threatening to arrest him because what Snowdon might possibly be in possession of...in addition to the fact that Lois Lerner herself granted 501(c)(3) status to terrorist supporting groups... could very well be the final key that unlocks the door into bringing this whole damn corrupt Obama government down.

Just saying.

*********************************

In Monday's part 3 of our 3-part investigative report on the IRS scandal, Craig and I will tie up the so-called missing links...links that are NOT really missing per se, but are links that Obama and crew do NOT under any circumstances want the American people to know about.
