Trump & Xi Meeting + Fauci’s COVID Coverup | PBD #799
"Supreme Court said in 1914 that the acceptance of a pardon is an admission of guilt. It's what consoled Gerald Ford when he pardoned Richard Nixon. And so I'm not guilty. I am innocent. So I wouldn't be accepting any pardons. I'm just telling you what the Supreme Court said. By accepting a pardon, it's an admission of guilt."
Former FBI Director James Comey stated he would never accept a preemptive pardon because acceptance legally constitutes an admission of guilt, indirectly implicating Dr. Fauci who accepted Biden's preemptive pardon. When asked if those who accepted Biden's pardons are guilty, Comey repeated the Supreme Court precedent, delivering a veiled rebuke to Fauci and others who sought clemency.
