On. Monday morning President Joe Biden offered a wide array of preemptive pardons to enemies of Donald Trump which led two GOP lawmakers to issue statements that they have no intention of backing off holding investigations.
That, in turn, led to a denunciation by MSNBC's Joe Scarbrough that they will be making a huge mistake that will come back to haunt them one day.
Addressing comments made by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) that those who received pardons, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and retired United States Army General Mark Milley, still face GOP-led congressional hearings, the Morning Joe host launched into a scathing response.

"I can't sit here and listen to statements like that from these members of Congress," he began. "And it's as if, like me, of course when I first got to Washington, they just fell off a turnip truck. And they don't realize, like old people like me who have seen this happen time and time and time again, that what goes around comes around."
"Oh, you want to do that to these people who have been pardoned?" he suggested. "Let's wait for the Democrats two years from now, and let's wait and see what those hearings are going to be like for every single January 6th convicted felon or someone convicted of misdemeanors that will be hauled before the Democratic committee two years from now."
"I hear these statements and I'm like, seriously? Do you not think what you dish out, you're going to get?" he asked.
