In a stunner of an interview on Monday, March 17, former RINO congressman Adam Kinzinger declared to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tapper’s “The Lead” program that he would, if given the opportunity, “crush” President Trump lawfare. Kinzinger’s on-air meltdown was sparked by President Trump’s announcement in the wee hours of the morning on March 17 that he was considering former President Biden’s pardons of the J6 Committee members void because of Biden’s use of an autopen and seeming lack of knowledge about who or what he was pardoning.
For reference, President Trump announced that in a post on Truth Social. In it, he began by saying, calling out Biden’s issues in preparing the pardons, “The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.”
He then added that the pardons are invalid and those involved in the lawfare against him are going to face the judicial consequences. He said, “Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!”
In any case, during the CNN interview, Tapper broached the issue with Kinzinger by asking, “You were pardoned. You didn’t ask for a pardon. It was preemptive just in case Trump’s Justice Department goes after you and other members of the January 6 Committee. What was your reaction when you saw Trump’s post last night, declaring your preemptive pardon void and vacant?”
Responding, the notoriously anti-Trump RINO first told Tapper that he thinks Trump is trying to use the pardon issue to distract from something bigger. He said, “Well first off, I’m trying to figure out what he’s trying to distract from because all this is always a distraction to try to get people’s attention. Or maybe he hasn’t felt like he’s gotten enough attention.”
Continuing, he feigned bravado and told Trump and the DOJ to “bring it on” because he wants to fight over January 6. He said, “But look, Jake. it’s like, bring it on. like, honestly. So you know, we had an election. I fought against Donald Trump. I wanted Kamala Harris to win. January 6 was a big thing, but America made a different choice. Fine. I’m ready to move on. I’m like, look, we made it very clear what happened on January 6. America made a decision.”
Kinzinger then was quite funny by accident, as he ranted and raved about Trump in obsessed fashion while claiming Trump is obsessed with him. He said, “There is one person that’s obsessed about the six because he still has been basically deemed guilty in the court of public opinion, and that’s Donald Trump. And he can’t handle it. He obsesses about it. so my reaction to him is like, you know what?”

Concluding, Kinzinger kept repeating his “bring it” line, then added his comment about wanting to “crush” President Trump. He said, “Then bring it. Stop talking about it. Stop being all verbose. Stop pretending like you’re tough. Bring the charges then if you really want to do it because we will crush you in court.”
