They don’t want any one digging deeper into the 8,000 (a new world record) pardons by Biden, just like they don’t want anyone mentioning the 14 million votes that up and vanished this election cycle.

He's forcing the Dem's to publicly defend these shady as fuck pardons. While at the same time putting the s[spotlight on what they actually did with regards to Covid and the Jan 6 riots, that required that they be "pardoned". It's effectively a No Lose situation for Trump. What's the worst case? That he forces the Supreme Court to weigh in on at a minimum the processes and procedures surrounding Presidential Pardons? To voice an opinion on "Presumptive Pardons" without an underlying defined crime? To shine more light on just how mentally unfit Biden was and force the issue of "who was really in charge during the Biden Presidency" out into the open?
Eisenhower had a lot more political freedom on what he could use the military for than most Presidents after him. That's like saying "Man I sure do wish Trump would arrest a state legislature for not voting the way he wants like Lincoln did" ignoring that Lincoln was able to do so because of circumstances Trump doesn't have.
Was Eisenhower's own Defense Secretary pushing back on his decisions and plans?
It fulfills a few purposes.
Right? People ignore that Trump's admin was full of people who didn't want Trump to succeed
I think the 4d chess is real to some extent but I think you're giving Trump way too much credit for this one. It's a stupid move no matter how you cut it and Dems aren't going to suddenly realize their pardons are immoral—they already knew that. They're going to attack Trump for going after the Constitution, which he quite literally is this time around.
Even if it's fake, it reminds me of how people in America can be over politics - I've seen plenty of people leave the GOP, become Democrats, and believe the exact opposite of every last talking point they used to support and double down in doing so. Even if the Democratic Underground post is fake, situations like that actually do happen irl. Like just throw out the baby with the bathwater instead of looking into other branches of right wing politics.
Worse than a professor, she's a medical doctor.
All they need to do is to get Biden to announce that he did have those pardons signed under his authority and the entire case disappears. How much money do you think Biden would take to do so? We all know he takes bribes.
I think you are right. It will get squashed in the first day it hits the courts. But until then, the prosecutors have an excuse to investigate, collect evidence, announce what facts they have found to the public, submit charging documents to the court.
If the president can just do things, or things can just be done his name, then what makes Trump different from Biden?
