In December, Biden issued a “full and unconditional pardon” of his son, Hunter Biden, regarding “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.”
The relationship between President Joe Biden and House Democrats appears to have grown strained after the president backtracked on his previous refusal to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.
President Joe Biden is right about one thing. His son Hunter Biden has always been “treated differently.”
If Hunter Biden had a different last name, he would never have been able to launch a career in corrupt influence peddling or launder millions through his “art” or write a self-serving memoir about crack-fueled whoremongering or dump a gun next to a high school without any real consequences.
If the Bidens want to escape legal accountability for their pay-for-play operation, Joe better be ready to pardon the whole family.
Despite Biden and his staff repeatedly insisting that Hunter would not be pardoned for his tax fraud and felony gun charges, the president announced Sunday his decision to clear Hunter’s record.
The California district court in Hunter’s prosecution for tax evasion certainly thought that Joe’s explanation was insulting. That judge wrote a short order Tuesday in which (after tweaking Hunter’s counsel for filing an informal, internet-based copy of the pardon) he called Joe to account for the liberties that he took with the truth in his pardon explanation Sunday.
Timing of Hunter Biden’s pardon has political drawbacks for Democrats, but benefits the family ahead of his court proceedings
Ordinary Americans are held accountable when they defraud the IRS. Not the president’s son.
The White House’s story on Hunter Biden keeps changing. The president supposedly had no knowledge of his son’s business, then no involvement in it, then no financial benefit from it.
The Biden family has been embroiled in scandals and foreign entanglements since at least 2014 — the first year of Hunter Biden’s pardon.
By pardoning his son for more than a decade of potential crimes, the president is protecting himself above all.
