I was just thinking that myself. These people didn't perform their various pardon-worthy shenanigans in a vacuum. Some tech was told to delete files. Someone was told to ignore test results or data. Someone who didn't get a pardon and wasn't happy about being pressured into doing something unethical and/or illegal. The sort of someone who could now be persuaded to speak out.
A preemptive pardon puts a cloud of suspicion over these guys. The new DOJ may not be able to prosecute them, but they can lay out in the court of public opinion the evidence of what they did and why they should have been prosecuted, and that these are very real scandals that Biden deliberately shielded from justice quite literally on his way out of the White House door. The stench of corruption will dog his legacy and the people he pardoned.
Amazing clip on the preemptive pardons. I’ve never seen that one before. It certainly puts his actions in an even harsher light than I would’ve ever thought possible.
The preemptive pardons may be the worst thing those who received them ever got. Be careful what you wish for...

Don't know if you saw this but SOMEONE isn't happy that she/they didn't get a pardon - a tear 😢
