Biden pardons Hunter despite lying pledges not to
[ABC] Lying POS, but not unexpected
President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, on Sunday night, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family.
"My word as a Biden"
The Democratic president had previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California. The move comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case and guilty plea on tax charges, and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House.

It caps a long-running legal saga for the younger Biden, who publicly disclosed he was under federal investigation in December 2020 — a month after his father’s 2020 victory — and casts a pall over the elder Biden's legacy.

Biden, who time and again pledged to Americans that he would restore norms and respect for the rule of law after Trump's first term in office, ultimately used his position to help his son, breaking his public pledge to Americans that he would do no such thing.

In a statement released Sunday evening, Biden said, “I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice.”

The president's sweeping pardon covers not just the gun and tax offenses against the younger Biden, but also any other “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”

No surprise, as it was predicted here, what? 3+ years ago, on the RB?
Once again, the so-called Tinfoil Hats were right month/years ahead of the real truth.

BUT THE PARDON IS ALSO A WIN.

Hunter now, cannot plea the 5th, or lie with cover.
When he is questioned about WHO was involved in the Obama/Biden Coup's voter fraud, various coverups, pay to play, bribery, kickbacks, special DOJ treatments, and etc.
He will have to name names. Otherwise, he can and will be charged with a collection of related Felonies.

In short, we now have an inside man as to what he saw and/or was a part of, or handled. When questioned we'll know which WH staff, MSM, _ _ _'s, RINO's and various DC staff were involved. Just the laptop or the $ million for paintings, bribery cover-ups investigations alone, should be worth some serious DC names.

Then those guilty parties will likely seek plea deals and more names and crimes will be uncovered.

The Epstein control process can only be used so much.

#6 The pardon only goes through actions Hunter took before 1 Jan 2025 so

- he can commit lots of crimes this month
- starting next year, it is a different story and if he is caught tax evading or drug dealing or sex trafficing, it is bad time for him

#7 I guess he figured, after pardoning the turkeys, what's one more?
It will be interesting, if there's a inquiry into Joe's dealings, because Hunter won't be able to plead the 5th.

#8 I wouldn't count on much coming out of Hunter testifying.

Although he may not plead the 5th, he can say he doesn't remember or he wasn't of sound mind at the time.

#9 Maybe I'm the first to bring up the distinct possibility of Joe Biden pardoning everyone who has worked for him or supported him in the same exact way he pardoned his son. Imagine Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, Fauci, the entire FBI and DOJ, etc. etc. There's nothing and no one to stop him between now and January 2025.

#10 Trump better keep far, far away from Hunter Biden for the rest of the year. Hunter is now a "known wolf".

#11 I was mildly surprised that the pardon went all the way back to 1/1/2014.

Hopefully Hunter will be forced to testify against others.

#12 It will be even more interesting who Biden does NOT pardon and lets get prosecuted.

#13 As if we didn't already, but we now know what "My word as a Biden" is worth.

#16  Sequoia’s Shaun Maguire: Hunter Biden Tried to Pay $300k in Back Rent With ‘Art Made From His Own Feces’

Following the news Sunday evening that Joe Biden had pardoned his son Hunter, Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire claimed in a bombshell series of posts on X that the younger Biden had once tried to pay back rent for a property his family owns in California with “art made from his own feces.”

Maguire said renting to Hunter “was a big mistake” and called him an “absolute shit bag.”

The venture capitalist revealed that the deadbeat still owed his family $300,000 in back rent for the Venice, California, home he lived in from 2019 to 2020.

After hearing that Biden pardoned his son for all crimes he may have committed spanning 11 years, Maguire posted on X: “So what happens to the $300k+ in back pay rent that Hunter Biden owes my family from 2019-2020? Is that pardoned now? Thanks Joe.”

#17 As it has been noted, this isn't about the lying liar Brandon lying, that was to be expected.

It is yet another indictment against those who screened that it would be otherwise.

#19 Just curious - if he isn’t going to be prosecuted for anything is there a reason the investigation files can’t be released to the public?
