| Hunter Biden's Pardon Is All About Protecting Joe Biden, Not His Son |
| 2024-12-04 |
| [Federalist] President Joe Biden didn’t pardon Hunter because he’s a loving father who thinks his drug addict son was treated unfairly by the Justice Department. He pardoned Hunter to help cover up his own crimes, just as he’ll likely pardon other members of his family before he leaves office in January. He’s trying to protect himself, and this is one of the only ways he has left to do it. After all, President Biden is the one at the center of the influence-peddling and bribery schemes that Hunter ran while Biden was vice president. Joe, not Hunter, was the one being bribed. It was his influence, not Hunter’s, that was being purchased by Ukrainian oligarchs and Chinese businessmen, both during and after Biden was vice president. There’s no Biden family business without "the big guy." Focusing on Hunter’s crimes, and his pardon, is a distraction from the far more serious crimes his father committed. Even Hunter’s prosecution wasn’t really about him or his misdeeds. The tax and gun charges were about protecting him from being indicted for more serious charges that would have implicated the president and forced him to answer questions about his involvement in Hunter’s overseas business deals. That’s why Special Counsel David Weiss never indicted the younger Biden for failing to register as a foreign agent, allowing the statute of limitations to expire on that and other serious crimes, and then trying to engineer a sweetheart plea deal that would have granted him blanket immunity — immunity he’s now gotten from his father in the form of a pardon that covers a jaw-dropping eleven years. Why did Weiss do this? Because Hunter’s real tax crimes stem from failing to disclose the tens of millions he and his family raked in from the Biden family’s overseas influence-peddling operations in Ukraine and China. Weiss scrupulously avoided any investigation into those business dealings, and the tax fraud that resulted from them, because such an investigation would have obviously implicated President Biden. |

| #8 The 25th wouldn't prevent pardons that can be issued within minutes. |

| #7 I wonder if the 25th amendment by the cabinet may already be prepared by the Obama minions And put Kamala in charge - even for a month? |

| #6 Jill knows Jojo needs to remain in office to have the power to exercise the pardons for the rest of the family and unnamed co-conspirators before 20 January. Conversely, I wonder if the 25th amendment by the cabinet may already be prepared by the Obama minions as a counter-force to Jojo's increasingly suspect behaviors, the only deterrence to that being the rapid final confirmation by the campaign of Kamala's really suspect behaviors and unfathomable incompetence? It seems we are a nation adrift with a senile fool using the national checkbook like a drunken sailor while his wife splurges on senseless travel and cheezy Christmas decorations, a government on full bureaucratic auto-pilot, and a number two who scares the crap out of even the most rabid partisan progressive should she actually ever be given real Presidential power. Thank God Trump is already being considered the de-facto President by foreign allies and adversaries alike, but this opportunity window for the next month and a half is very troubling, especially for those in our own government who want to leave wreckage everywhere as Trump takes over. |

| #4 /\ I doubt he'll ever see old age, or anything close. Locking him up might have saved him. |

| #3 I read somewhere that Dr. Jill really pushed Joe for the pardon over the previous weekend. Apparently she's a fierce advocate for her stepson, and I imagine the president no longer has the ability to withstand her arguments. |

| #2 I expect more pardons for those involved in the family enterprise including Joe himself. I don’t expect him to cover all the clowns involved in other Dem political shenanigans. They burned that bridge when they took Joe off the ballot. |

| #1 Given JB's lack of Mental planning. I have to feel it is far more than JB seeking to CYA his ass. Besides, Hunter can now be called to testify, as who was involved in the DC pay to play game now with immunity. So the question becomes. Does an Epstein or Seth Rich solution await Hunter and others, because of their inter-trusted circle knowledge of the LSD 2019-2024 Coup? |
