Transcript of the interview:
QUESTIONER: Would you be willing to commit to not pulling a President [Gerald] Ford and giving Donald Trump a pardon under the pretense of healing the nation? In other words, are you willing to commit to the American ideal that no one is above the law?
JOE BIDEN: Absolutely, yes. I commit.
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: And this is helping us get in all the more questions. So, that’s a commitment. Mr. Vice President, you’re saying that where ever the investigative trail might lead, whether that be an investigative trail pursued by the Justice Department against Trump officials, Trump associates, administration officials — whether those are congressional investigations — that’s hands-off for you, you’re not going to say, “Let’s just let bygones be bygones”?
BIDEN: It’s hands-off, completely.Look, the attorney general of the United States is not the president’s lawyer — it’s the people’s lawyer. And you remember when you were there with Pat Moynihan. We never saw anything like the prostitution of that office, like we see it today. It is not something the president is entitled to do, to direct a prosecution and/or decide to drop a case. That’s not the president’s role or responsibility. It’s a dereliction of his duty.

Reap as you sow ,creepy Joe
Your not even elected yet joe, and anyone with a brain that is not made out of jello knows you and he are both on the same side and that is Satan’s, you are both doing his work as minions and I hope you both are hung by the neck with a good hemp rope until dead. Now let me satisfy the goons by saying upon conviction.
Trump won’t Pardon Criminal Obama. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c6a3dd4b825008757b93fa3bfb423e3facc4f035bb9aaec8d44ee78a421ad8b5.jpg
One has to be convicted of something before a pardon is issued.
PONDER THIS FOLKS! The DNC has stated that Biden will not be their nominee this November. However, think of this scenario, they let Biden be the nominee, on the condition that they tell him who to select as his VP, and, if he is lucky enough to win, he must resign within 24 hours after being sworn in, thereby, their VP becomes President, and if he refuses after being sworn in, the DNC will declare him unfit to govern and forcefully remove him by whatever means.
I think ol’ Quid-Pro-Groper-Rapist-Joe better be worrying about a pardon for himself!!
