The Biden Crime Family is real and Joe Biden proved that when he preemptively pardoned members of his family who participated in his influence-peddling scheme.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Republican lawmakers are going to investigate Joe Biden’s family pardons.
After pardoning his son Hunter, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to five members of his family: Sister Valerie Biden, her husband John Owens, brother Jim Biden, brother Frank Biden, sister-in-law Sara Biden.
Johnson said GOP lawmakers are going to look into the pardons.
“They call it the Biden crime family, if they weren’t the crime family why do they need pardons? We will be looking at it as well.”

Would the crime be listed in the Pardon ?LOL
Way to go, Johnson!!
there should be a list of what they are getting off of.
Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915) -
"Agree pardons can’t be issued until someone has been convicted of a crime!"
DJT’s justice department should take this to court. Blanket pardons for every crime a person has not been charged with or accused of can’t be allowed.
Again, “Pardons impute guilt, and accepting them, confesses guilt!”

If the crime family is as extended as many of us think it is there is still a long list of criminals who were not pardoned.
That’s way too simplistic an statement about pardons. If you say it about the Biden clan then you can say it about the Jan 6 protestors.
In fact, the motivations for issuing, as well as accepting, pardons must be considered individually.
I messaged Spkr Johnson and suggested he investigate passing an annual budget; investigate profligate deficit spending; investigate balancing the budget; investigate stopping Continuing Resolutions!
D.C. is loosing touch with the people that they represent!
I think in order to issue a valid pardon, you must specify the crime of which they are being pardoned.
For all we know, the Biden’s who were pardoned may have the bodies of 25 kidnapped children buried in their basement? If they dig up dead children in their basement, are they immune from Justice?
Yeah, they need to challenge these blanket pardons. They cannot possibly be valid.
burn them
The Biden Crime Family Is Above the Law

President Joe Biden is right about one thing. Hunter Biden has always been “treated differently.” If Hunter 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 Hunter’s last name weren’t “Biden,” special counsel David Weiss would never have let him get away with failing to register as a foreign agent or avoid paying millions in taxes that flowed from his foreign arrangements. If your name isn’t Biden, don’t try writing off your hookers and crack as tax deductions.
If Hunter had been treated like anyone else, the Justice Department wouldn’t have tried to give him blanket immunity not only on gun and tax charges but on a slew of uninvestigated potential offenses, including bribery and corruption. If it hadn’t been for a principled judge named Maryellen Noreika, asking the government’s so-called prosecutors if they could provide a single precedent in which immunity was offered to a person for “crimes in a different case” (they could not), Hunter Biden would have walked last year. The DOJ was trying to pardon Hunter Biden long before Donald Trump won the presidency.
Then again, if it weren’t for the congressional testimony of Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, it’s highly unlikely Hunter Biden would have ever been charged even with those two piddling misdemeanor counts. Because for four years, Merrick Garland and the DOJ acted as the Praetorian Guard of the Biden crime syndicate, doing everything possible to keep Hunter Biden out of a courtroom and then dragging their feet to ensure that the statute of limitations on the most serious potential crimes ran out.
Yes, Joe Biden lied on numerous occasions about never having discussed the family business with his son. Joe Biden also lied when he told the country he would never pardon his son. But the pardon letter itself is also a lie. Like the president, many media outlets framed Joe Biden’s pardon as shielding Hunter Biden from specific gun and tax charges when it is a pardon for all federal crimes committed over the past decade, which includes the times Joe Biden was the vice president and president.
Any genuine investigation into the family’s $17 million foreign influence-peddling business would necessitate deposing the president of the United States and compelling him to answer numerous difficult queries about his connections to disreputable authoritarian regimes. Being a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” will only get you so far.
Hunter Biden’s laptop, despite censorious efforts of the press and social media platforms, was real and spectacular. It was filled with messages referencing his father’s role in securing the money and taking cuts from the business, not to mention the witnesses who said that the “Big Guy” had a part in that outfit or the checks referring to Joe Biden.
If Hunter Biden hadn’t been treated differently by the government, he would have had to answer for the 20-plus shell companies he helped set up with his uncle James Biden. Indeed, the pardon’s decade-plus time frame is tremendously convenient, considering it coincides with Hunter Biden first pulling in $50,000-$83,000 per month as a board member of Burisma in 2014, just as his father was forging policy in that country for the Obama administration.
The pardon extends to 2015, when Hunter Biden received emails from a Ukrainian businessman thanking him for the chance to meet with Joe Biden when the latter was vice president.
It extends to 2017, when we have an email proposing an equity breakdown of a venture with Chicom energy concerns, which included the line, “10 held by H for the big guy?” It is the same year Hunter Biden threatened his Chinese partner Raymond Zhao with the words, “I am sitting here with my father.” Even the Obama administration was worried about Biden Inc.
The pardon also extends to 2019, when Hunter Biden received two wire transfers totaling $260,000 from Beijing with the president’s Delaware home listed as the beneficiary address. The “perception of access” can be quite lucrative.
As always, many of the president’s defenders leaned into emotional appeals regarding the older Biden.
“Any loving father would have pardoned his once-addicted son” – who is actually a privileged, middle-aged, Yale-educated lawyer and international lobbyist who is constantly being portrayed as a child. One could argue that a good father would never have enabled his drug-addicted son to engage in influence peddling.

Investigate. Issue subpoenas to all those pardoned. If they testify falsely about their crimes, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
Biden excused any backlash he might face by the pardon of Hunter,
falsely claiming his son was “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
However, his corrupt son wasn’t unfairly targeted.
Hunter broke the law— plain and simple.
<><>He was caught making false statements while purchasing a firearm,
<><>he provided inaccurate information that is required to be kept by a federally licensed gun dealer,
<><>and he illegally possessed a firearm despite knowingly being addicted to drugs.
<><>He pled guilty—admitting not paying federal income taxes on over $1.5M in 2017 and 2018
<><>this was money he earned through shady overseas business dealings.
Hunter’s pardon protected Biden himself from accountability for the Biden Crime
Family’s corruption, pedaling Biden’s influence to foreigners needing a favor.
Biden pardoned Hunter of all crimes, known or unknown, from January 1, 2014.
Not coincidentally, 2014 was the year Hunter started “working” as a million dollar a year board member at Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, Burisma’s first outside board member.
Hunter’s corrupt global influence-peddling of his father was well known. When foreign figures were giving him millions of dollars, Hunter admits to breaking the law, that he was a crack addict and alcoholic, writing in his book that “Drinking a quart of vodka a day by yourself in a room is absolutely, completely debilitating” as was “smoking crack around the clock.”
Yet Hunter was not some hapless junkie in Times Square snatching purses to feed his addiction.
<><>he is the son of the most powerful man on the globe
<><>he was flying around the world free, mooching off taxpayers on dad’s plane, AF Two,
<><>he has a tax-funded Secret Service detail
<><>he was vacuuming up millions selling dad’s influence
<><>he was allegedly distributing the money to various Biden family members
<><>he was organizing a labyrinth of shell companies and LLC money laundries
<><>he was selling out America left and right.
<><>he was undermining American families’ safety and security.
Trump needs to determine if Biden put Hunter, drjill, and
the money hungry Biden Crime Family on the public payroll.....
<><>pocketing pensions, perks, stipends, bonuses, expense accounts,
<><>govt credit cards, Cadillac health and life insurance,
<><>housing subsidies, tax paid utility bills,
<><>several Social Security plans,
<><>government checks, payments, loans,
<><>no-show salaries, consultancies,
<><>billed as strategists, operations directors, R and D managers,
<><>and so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
Hunter pled guilty——admitting that he engaged in tax evasion
<><>by wrongfully deducting as business expenses items he knew were personal expenses,
<><>including luxury clothing, escort services, and his daughter’s law school tuition.
<><>he admitted that he “had sufficient funds available to pay some or all of his outstanding taxes
<><>but did not make payments well after he had regained his sobriety,
<><>he elected to “spend large sums to maintain his depraved lifestyle.”
“They call it the Biden crime family, if they weren’t the crime family why do they need pardons?”
In general, because as they say, the process is the punishment. Innocent people might want a pardon to avoid the undeserved punishment of subjugation to the process.
Of course, I believe the Biden family is guilty.
“Pardons impute guilt, and accepting them, confesses guilt!”
That’s a legal fiction, because as they say, the process is the punishment. Innocent people might want a pardon to avoid the undeserved punishment of subjugation to the process.
The corruption runs deep and we’ve yet to see how the deep state pushes back. Lots of rep’s will go down with the dem’s during an investigation - the corruption is not a one-sided.
They aren’t. The ONLY mention of Presidential pardons that is found in the Constitution are those FOR offenses committed. If it isn’t in the Constitution, it exist ONLY at the state level and isn’t a Presidential power. Biden himself issued these “pardons” on the basis that no offenses were committed and that no offenses were to be assumed to have been committed. The Constitution plainly ONLY allows pardons FOR offenses thus these are unconstitutional.
So, a bit of forensic accounting can show massive income from criminal activity, and the Feds can seize it, right?
Pay-per-view $$$ from public hearings on the now-pardoned Bidens (who cannot assert “the 5th”) would put a dent in the deficit.
