Reports are beginning to emerge to suggest that Democrat President Joe Biden is planning to issue a presidential pardon for his son Hunter before he leaves office.
Such a move would explain why Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) appears to be rushing charges through against the first son before the 2024 election.
President Biden has repeatedly said, and the White House has likewise reiterated, that he won’t use his power of executive clemency to issue a pardon for his son.
Hunter Biden is currently facing mounting legal woes and possible time in federal prison.
Yet, not everyone believes Biden will refrain from pardoning his son eventually.
Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow thinks a pardon is inevitable.
Hunter has been given “a green light to commit all the crimes between now and November,” Marlow warns.
The president’s son has already been criminally indicted on federal gun and tax charges and could potentially also face prosecution if held in contempt of Congress for blatantly defying a House committee subpoena to testify in a deposition to instead hold a press conference in front of the Capitol building.
Breitbart’s Marlow appeared Monday on Fox Business with host Larry Kudlow and was asked for his thoughts on Hunter Biden’s decision to skip the closed-door deposition for which he’d been subpoenaed and instead hold a controversial press conference.
“I don’t think he did himself anything good with the press conference — which was in front of the Senate, by the way, not the House where he was supposed to show up to be deposed,” Kudlow said at one point.
“But also as you noted in your column on this, Hunter now came out with a new standard, new goalpost.
“It’s not only the father didn’t know about the business, or the father was not engaged in the business, now the father was not engaged in any financing measures of the business.
“We all know that not to be true,” the host added.
“That’s gonna be a big problem.
“Financing is the name of the game here.”
“Yeah, so what the key moment of the whole press conference was Hunter saying my family was not financially involved or my father was not financially involved in my businesses,” Marlow said.
“This is all code — it means Joe was involved.
“He just maybe didn’t get a direct check on certain things but we all know Hunter’s business model involves Joe.
“That explains the whole Burisma, where Joe is firing the prosecutor while Hunter is bagging a million bucks.”
“Joe is keeping Hunter’s business associates off his sanctions list that is growing. Joe helping broker a deal with the Bank of China, while Hunter is cutting a deal with the equity company that is controlled by the Bank of China,” he continued.
“It all has to do with Joe.
“It is a matter of time before Hunter incriminates him.”
Kudlow asked Marlow if he thought the Justice Department would actually prosecute a contempt of Congress referral.
“I don’t know,” Marlow replied.
“I think Hunter is just gonna keep evading as long as he can.
“I think the House, it behooves them to do that, but if you look at it, Joe is just gonna pardon Hunter for everything.”
“This is something that is really fascinating — Hunter has a green light to commit all the crimes between now and November,” he added.
“Joe will pardon him after the election.”

NBC News reported last week that despite the repeated insistence from President Biden and the White House that no clemency would be extended to benefit the president’s troubled son, most Americans simply aren’t buying that denial and even several elected Democrats have gone on record to preemptively express their disapproval and discouragement of a presidential pardon for Hunter Biden.
Such a pardon may prove necessary if the president’s son is convicted of and sentenced for the criminal charges against him.
The Associated Press reported that the charges include nine tax law violations, three of which are felonies, plus three firearms felonies which, if given the maximum punishments for each charge, could land him behind bars for decades.
There is also the legitimate possibility that Hunter could get hit with a contempt of Congress charge over his stunt last week in which he blatantly defied a lawful congressional subpoena to testify and instead trolled Republicans and federal investigators with his public press conference in front of the Capitol building, according to The Hill.
...and the GOP just sits there with its thumb up its...
Certainly won’t help his poll numbers. With anyone.
It’s going to take an independent party to dish out the punishment this slimeball very much deserves.
Talk about “Democratic” Party privilege. This will piss backs off big time.
Of course he will pardon the prick.
Can a President issue a pardon where there has not been a conviction?
If not, then Hunter would need a kitchen sink of charges, plead guilty, get pardoned.
POTUS cannot pardon State charges...............
Joe Biden tried to sneak parasite Hunter off tax-paid Marine One copter…
He’s in contempt of Congress, wife and son all gorging off the taxpayers’ dime

As for WH visitors’ logs, Hunter evading the law, ensconced at the WH, sucking at the public teat, is an outrage. Biden’s Secret Service detail say they dont have records of Joe Biden’s Delaware visitor’s logs.
WASHINGTON — The Secret Service said Monday it does not track who comes and goes from President Biden’s Delaware residence where classified documents were improperly stored — despite the 80-year-old commander-in-chief using the home as a weekend White House.
Since taking office in January 2021, Biden has made 52 trips to the Wilmington house (as of 1/16/23 ), spending all or part of 167 days there, according to a tally by The Post.
Despite the frequency of the president’s trips home, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told FoxNews.com that “we don’t independently maintain our own visitor logs because it’s a private residence.”
A spokesman for the White House counsel’s office added to the outlet, “Like every president in decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal.”
Guglielmi’s statement goes beyond two previous claims made by the Secret Service last year to The Post in response to records requests for visitor information at Biden’s Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach homes.
In April, the agency said “no records were located” in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. In late September, the Secret Service denied a FOIA appeal, telling The Post again that “no responsive records” were found after an “additional search of relevant program offices.”
The Post subsequently filed on Oct. 10 a more broadly worded FOIA request asking the Secret Service for “[e]mails that refer to visitors to President Biden’s residences” during his time in office. The agency acknowledged the request but has not yet provided a substantive reply.
It’s unclear if there truly is no centralized record of who visits Biden in Wilmington, where he’s been nearly one-fourth of his days since taking office. At the White House complex itself, a computer system known as WAVES (Worker and Visitor Entry System) keeps tabs on visits.

I’d love to see Ashley Moody hang something on him 😏
“President Biden has repeatedly said, and the White House has likewise reiterated, that he won’t use his power of executive clemency to issue a pardon for his son.”
HAHAHAHA. Yeah. We can always trust the word of the Chomo in Chief.
“I grew up in a black church”
“After black church I went to Synagogue”
“I grew up in the Puerto Rican neighborhood”
“I graduated top of my class”
“I never had anything to do with Hunter’s business dealings”
Pick up the phone Mr. Chomo. Corn Pop is on line 2
No problem!!
Hunter has been breaking many laws; some of the same ones over and over, and different ones as well. Save a few of the flagrant ones and charge him with those after Biden is out of office.
The Big Guy will pardon Hunter. That is why Hunter is so arrogant. He knows he can get away with his crimes.
Will Biden pardon himself for possessing classified documents while Vice-President and keeping them?
Will Biden pardon himself for taking money for himself and his family?
Will Biden do a blanket pardon for all the Russia Gate mess?
Will Biden.....................Fill in the blank.
A president’s power of pardon is nearly absolute.
He can pardon anybody for nearly anything:
United States Constitution Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, excerpt:
“...and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
In the grave, a pardon is irrelevant
Not if you got one from Jesus...................
