Senator Adam Schiff, a California Democrat notorious for his morally questionable antics, is having a moment of clarity, albeit a confusing one. After years of engaging in the swampy machinations of Washington, including leading two fruitless impeachment trials against Donald Trump, Schiff has decided to express discomfort at something even he finds appalling—Joe Biden’s recent wave of pardons related to the now-defunct January 6 Committee. This revelation comes as a surprise and a bit of dark humor, as it highlights that even the most ethically challenged can occasionally see the light.
Biden’s last-minute pardon spree has caught many off guard, and Schiff’s comments reflect a rare instance of bipartisan disgust. He described the pardons as “unnecessary” and “unwise,” which is rich coming from someone whose political career has been built on a foundation of relentless partisanship and accusations against Trump without substantial evidence. Schiff’s previous actions—including his baseless claims of collusion—have effectively neutered any moral high ground he might attempt to stand upon now.
What’s particularly amusing is Schiff’s insistence that his committee’s work was “important.” If it was indeed such pivotal work, why the need for the pardons in the first place? If their findings held any validity, they wouldn’t be threatened by legal ramifications. Instead, Biden’s desperate preemptive strike suggests a recognition of the committee’s questionable legitimacy and the fact that it failed to substantiate any of its conclusions. One can’t help but chuckle at the irony of Schiff now trying to salvage some integrity at the expense of Biden’s glaring misjudgment.
In an almost comedic twist, Schiff attempted to shift blame for the pardons onto Trump and the GOP, citing “baseless threats” as justification for Biden’s actions. Yet, this defensive posture only underscores the Democrats’ panic. If the Biden administration believes that pardons are needed to protect its allies from the consequences of their own questionable actions, that reflects poorly not just on the pardoned, but on Biden himself. One might even suggest that these moves illustrate just how cutthroat and opportunistic he truly is—traits that have characterized his entire political career.

It’s a delightful irony that even Schiff, often dubbed “Shifty Schiff,” recognizes the ethical depths to which the Biden presidency has sunk. Biden’s unprecedented abuse of presidential pardoning power leaves a toxic legacy, one that not only maligns the rule of law but also tarnishes the very fabric of American governance. As the curtain falls on Biden’s presidency, it’s evident he has not only squandered potential but also left a significant mess for the incoming administration to clean up.
In summary, when one of Congress’s most ethically challenged figures laments the actions of a sitting president, it’s a sign that the rot runs deep. Biden’s late-game pardons may be a clear indicator of desperation, underscoring the corrupt nature of his administration. For those watching from the sidelines, the ongoing saga of political mischief in Washington continues to entertain, as both parties grapple with the fallout of their leaders’ questionable ethics.
