Hunter Biden Pardon Starting From 2014 Raises Burisma Questions
Newsweek ^ | 12-2-24 | Ewan Palmer

Posted on 12/02/2024 5:34:59 PM PST by bimboeruption

A number of Joe Biden critics have questioned why the president's pardoning of his son Hunter Biden goes back to 2014.

President Biden announced on Sunday that he signed a full and unconditional pardon for his son over federal tax and gun crimes, for which Hunter Biden was due to be sentenced this month. The pardon covers offenses he "has committed or may have committed or taken part in" between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024.

Several MAGA figures have noted that 2014 is the year the younger Biden joined the board at Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Republicans have frequently accused Biden of personally benefiting from and influencing his son's foreign business deals in Ukraine and China while he was vice president. Both the White House and Hunter Biden's lawyers have refuted these claims.

House Republicans tried to impeach Biden over claims of corruption, but did not produce any meaningful evidence to back up the allegations.

Right-wing political commentator Liz Wheeler suggested the president was also pardoning his son for alleged crimes committed during his time at Burisma. Wheeler also suggested that President Biden issued the pardon because he is "protecting himself from Kash Patel," the Donald Trump loyalist whom the president-elect has tapped to be the next FBI director.

"Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma in 2014. By pardoning Hunter for any crimes he 'may have committed' from 2014 to 2024, Joe Biden is protecting his family's criminal cartel. Wow, this pardon isn't about the gun charge," Wheeler posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.

Newsweek has contacted the White House and Hunter Biden's lawyers for comment via email outside of regular office hours.

2014 the critical year when the “Deep State” coup overthrew Ukraine’s elected government triggering Vladimir Putin’s actions since then.

"One of my questions is ... who else is involved?"

Seriously?

"On Sept. 29, 2019 — just as the impeachment saga began and shortly after the whistleblower report became public — the American Thinker, a lesser-known conservative opinion site, wrote a story highlighting the fact that Joseph Cofer Black, a former CIA agent and a national security adviser for Romney’s 2012 campaign, just so happened to be a board member of the Ukrainian energy company [Burisma] under scrutiny by far-right factions of the GOP."

Joe had to pardon Hunter. If Hunter was about to go to jail he would talk about Joe trying to cut a deal for a reduced sentence. Joe is not protecting Hunter. Joe is protecting Joe. Joe knows what Hunter did as Joe told him to do it.

How likely is it that Biden will pardon himself before he leaves office? If the Trump DOJ decides to go after him, I’m sure they could nail his hide to the wall.

Exactly. Why is no one talking about this. I think Hunter told Joe and Jill exactly what he wanted Joe to do or else.

Biden’s ungodly use of presidential power is a huge red
flag——this demented nincompoop is capable of anything.

Trump needs to determine if Biden put Hunter, drjill, and
the money hungry Biden Crime Family on the public payroll.....

Hey, jackleg, did you seriously try to pimp this fallacy on two different threads?

"And if you are referring to this numbnuts Sean O'Driscoll clickbait piece where Hunter supposedly 'retired his right' to 5A refuge with his Pardon? Just goes to show how many people on Free Republic swear they hate the MSM and yet dispose their brains to be filled with MSM mush to the minute, to the second...!"

“Hunter is an important witness against his father, so the pardon becomes a BRIBE & obstructs justice. In 2020, Merrick Garland obstructed justice & violated Michael Flynn’s civil rights in taking an “appeal” by biased, crazed judge Emmitt Sullivan against an order by a higher court. Garland’s interference was unprecedented, was tantamount to a cover up of Joe Biden’s crime of espionage against Trump, being that it was Biden’s order to get Flynn that Comey and McCabe obeyed on January 12, 2017-—after Trump was certified president. Garland had life tenure on the DC Circuit that Obama stacked and Trump should unstack........but he inexplicably quit his position on a high court to be Biden’s wing man, attack dog, and personal protector......and we can guess what his deal was with Biden for helping Biden win, then be his AG-—a Supreme Court appointment.....another bribe by Biden to have Garland turn a blind eye and conspire to cover up for Biden and prosecute Trump.....thus does Garland become also a bribed witness and co conspirator........which also.....according to Democrats—makes hearsay testimony legal and justified to use against them. Jack Smith also used torture , threats and bribes and counted on hearsay, illegal subpoenas and illegal general warrants and did things such as illegally steal Trump’s passport. Somebody should pull Jack Smith’s passport before he gets away....”
