And they did lie.
Many people were upset by Biden’s ( Or whoever used his autopen) pardons of Dr Faucistein and Liz Cheney, but if Republicans grow a spine then this could be a good thing. Since they have received a pardon, they can no longer hide behind the Fifth Amendment. In other words, they must answer all questions truthfully. If they don’t, they are guilty of perjury and that is not covered by their pardons.
Even if they tell the truth and cannot be tried for any crimes they committed the ensuing full knowledge of the scandals would be fierce and the lapdog media could not cover it up or spin it. Cheney could no longer behind the destruction of evidence committed by the crooked J6 committee. And furthermore, with the truth coming out it will be possible to imprison people not granted immunity. Before the granting of the pardons, it was nearly impossible to get at the truth.
Journalist Matt Taibbi said:
“The thing is, about these pardons, they’re a mistake. If you want to know what’s happening, they just made it a lot easier for us to find out.”
“Now, once the pardon’s delivered, the person can’t plead the Fifth. If they are brought before a grand jury, they can’t take the Fifth anymore, or if they’re brought before a congressional committee, they can’t evoke their right against self-incrimination, so they have to say something.”
“And this is what’s so interesting because I’ve been talking to criminal defense attorneys, people who are former Senate investigators, some current Senate investigators, and they all kind of said the same thing. It’s so illogical to give somebody a pardon if you’re trying to cover up things that the only reason you would really do it is if there are very serious crimes involved, right?”
