Liz Cheney thought she had gotten away clean with her anti-Trump vendetta.
The former Wyoming Representative has been counting on immunity since being booted from office by her own constituents.
But Liz Cheney just got blindsided when investigators uncovered this damning fact about Biden’s pardons.
Former prosecutor launches corruption investigation
Outgoing interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin is digging into the unprecedented pardons Joe Biden issued in his final hours as president.
Martin told Daily Caller editorial director Vince Coglianese on Monday that his office is investigating potential corruption surrounding Biden’s controversial end-of-administration pardons.
“It looks at least like something that you could be corrupt,” Martin explained during the interview.
Biden’s eleventh-hour pardons raised eyebrows across Washington when he not only pardoned his son Hunter and other family members, but also gave sweeping immunity to the entire January 6 Select Committee – including Republican turncoats Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
Suspicious pardon patterns emerge
“When [former President] Bill Clinton pardoned Mark Rich, and it turned out that Mark Rich had paid a boat load of money to one of Clinton’s friend’s lawyers. That’s not corrupt, it’s not criminal, because the plenary power of the pardon,” Martin said.
“But in the case of Joe Biden and his pardons, they were so specific. Back 14 years, covering everything you’ve ever done. And when I say specific, they were broad, but they had time stuff on them,” he continued.
The timing and specificity of these pardons has Martin’s office asking serious questions about what exactly Cheney and the committee members might have been doing.
“And that at least leads to questions, because the plenary power’s true. But the question is what is going on here and I did get responses from some of them and those questions are ongoing,” Martin revealed.
The Biden family pardon blitz
For months, Biden had insisted he would not pardon his scandal-plagued son Hunter. Then on December 1, he did exactly that, covering any possible crime committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.
The sweeping pardon effectively wiped away Hunter’s gun conviction from June 2024, when a Delaware jury found him guilty of knowingly possessing a firearm while addicted to drugs. It also neutralized the $1.4 million tax evasion case against him involving nine separate charges alleging he failed to pay taxes between 2016 and 2019.
Biden didn’t stop with Hunter, extending his pardon pen to his brothers James and Frank, along with in-laws who had been connected to various Biden family business dealings.
January 6 Committee gets special treatment
But what’s raising the most significant questions is why Biden included Cheney and other January 6 committee members in his pardon spree.
Critics argue the committee’s work was riddled with procedural irregularities, selective evidence presentation, and potential abuses of power – all of which could now be shielded from proper oversight.
Cheney’s shocking immunity deal
The former Wyoming congresswoman, who based her entire political identity on opposing Donald Trump, appeared to have accepted Biden’s pardon – a stunning reversal for someone who once presented herself as a principled conservative.
Martin’s investigation threatens to uncover why Biden felt Cheney and the committee needed presidential immunity in the first place.
His office has reportedly received responses from some of the pardoned individuals, suggesting this investigation is far from over.
“I did get responses from some of them and those questions are ongoing,” Martin revealed.
For Cheney, who has portrayed herself as an ethical crusader since leaving office, the scrutiny of her apparent pardon acceptance could raise serious questions about her role on the committee.
