Former President Bill Clinton expressed his opposition to the idea of President Joe Biden issuing preemptive pardons for his wife, Hillary Clinton, or others who might be the subject of investigations under the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump.
“I hope he won’t do that,” Clinton said during an appearance on The View on Dec. 11 when asked if Biden should consider pardons for Hillary Clinton or others supposedly at risk of prosecution under the Trump administration.
“Most of us get out of this world ahead of where we'd get if all we got was simple justice,” he said. “[It’s] normally a fool’s errand to spend a lot of time trying to get even.”
