President Biden’s pardoning of his son shatters the moral pretensions of the establishment.
And just like that, the virtuous come crashing back down to Earth. For months, US president Joe Biden said he would not pardon his son, Hunter. We the high-minded do not play such low games, he said. We respect juries. We respect the law of the land. Look how different we are to Donald Trump, how so much more morally spotless, cried the Dems’ acolytes in the legacy media. Where Trump handed out pardons like candy to his crooked associates, we the righteous few, the ‘adults in the room’, would never dream of exonerating bent friends at the expense of the integrity of the republic. We are better than that, they said. Over and over and over.
Yet now, lo, a pardon has been issued. Biden has gone back on his word. Juries, it seems, don’t count for much after all. The law of the land must play second fiddle to Hunter’s freedom. And the preening elites who held up their non-pardoning president as proof that they are a better moral breed than Trump and the plebs who vote for him now find themselves in the dirt with the rest of us. The magnitude of what Biden has done feels positively dizzying. In so spectacularly breaking his own promise, in spending his last few weeks in this decaying administration issuing emperor-like decrees of liberty to his own kin, he has shattered the moral pretensions of his presidency, his party and arguably his entire class.
The pardon is extraordinary. Hunter was due to be sentenced this month on his convictions for illegal gun possession and tax evasion. He was the first child of a serving president to be convicted of a crime...

crooks pardoning themselves is an American tradition...for crooks.
Criminal son numero one.
Criminal son numero one.
So now the media can’t howl when Trump pardons J6er’s.
Wait, they will howl but nobody will listen.
The left can’t say ONE DAMN WORD about whatever Trump does for J6 or anyone else...they won’t even try because they know they’ll NEVER live this down.
Biden’s revenge for the DNC firing them.
Now looking forward to Obama and Pelosi’s remarks on this development...
With a full federal pardon now in effect, Hunter Biden has zero legal basis for refusing to testify to Congress about his foreign racketeering schemes.
If you can’t be federally charged, you can’t plead the Fifth.
Somehow I doubt it...
The aholes will be back.
BURISMA
So it's Trumps fault Joe Biden has to become a lying cheat. I had no idea Twinky Cohen would come up with something so commonplace among democratic administrations in how they treat their political opponents. He openly admitted how they run the country. Cohen projected exactly the lawfare weaponry they themselves engage in so freely and without consequences. .
“With a full federal pardon now in effect, Hunter Biden has zero legal basis for refusing to testify to Congress about his foreign racketeering schemes.”
Former FBI director James Comey testified. I can’t recall the actual number, but he said, “I can’t recall,” to virtually every important question. That’s all Hunter has to do.
Hunter was not alone in this. He’s too stupid. Find the people he was fronting for and nail them to the cross. At least Hunter’s crimes will be exposed for all to see.
What annoys me is he’ll have Secret Service protection forever. They’ll have to babysit him when he’s too stoned to be by himself. That job would be horrible.
“So now the media can’t howl when Trump pardons J6er’s.”

Yes absolutely.
Thus, in this updated reality, Joe Biden’s pardon of his son is a massive political gift to Trump.
Hunter promised that he would wash and wax his dad’s corvette for a year.
SS protection for all of the Biden family Gang?
He will do it anyway. Maybe he will say, he is not pleading the 5th. He is simply not going to answer any questions. 😀
insulates joe and the biden crime family
The upside is Hunter is a spendthrift, degenerate drug addict. Within a few years he’ll be broke and dead. Hopefully He and Jill end up in court over Biden’s ill gotten fortune.
Not true. Under the Former Presidents Act of 1997 only former presidents and their spouses get lifetime Secret Service protuction. Children only til age 16.
I do balk at considering the phony charges levied against Trump identical to actual tax evasion and weapons violation - they're not the same thing however you squint your eyes and pretend. Hunter was not a "victim of lawfare", he is a genuine criminal, caught, and let off.
