President Trump criticized former President Biden for pardoning several members of his family during his last moments as commander in chief, with Trump arguing the actions make “him look very guilty.”
“That makes him look very guilty,” Trump said while speaking to reporters late Monday in the Oval Office as he signed a number of executive orders.
“I could have pardoned my family. I could have pardoned myself and my family,” he said. “I said, ‘If I do that, it’s going to make me look very guilty’ – I don’t think I’d be sitting here, frankly.”
Trump also said the pardons announced before he was sworn in create an “unbelievable” precedent for a sitting president.
“Now maybe every president that leaves office, they’re going to pardon every person they’ve ever met,” he said.

Who Is Sara Biden? Joe’s In-Law Emerges as Central Figure in Foreign Cash Deals

Trouble has followed Sara Catherine Jones since she married into the Biden family almost three decades ago. Not long after her 1995 wedding to Jim Biden, she took a job with one of his brother Joe’s Senate donors, who later accused her of “fraud” and “unjust enrichment,” according to court records reviewed by RealClearInvestigations.
In the years since, she and her husband have been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes, court and property records show. Like their nephew, first son Hunter Biden, they have reportedly sold the promise of access to their powerful relative to companies, several of which have gone bankrupt, some of which are tied to foreign countries hostile to the United States.
Now, Sara Jones Biden has emerged as a key figure in the mushrooming Biden foreign influence-peddling scandal.
GOP lawmakers seek to question the 64-year-old licensed attorney as part of their investigation of President Biden for possible impeachable offenses, including bribery. They are especially interested in subpoenaed bank records that include almost a quarter million dollars in checks Sara Biden wrote to her brother-in-law Joe, conspicuously marking them as “loan repayment.”
Republicans want to ask her about the origin of those loans and whether checks “were funded by Biden influence-peddling schemes with China.”
“The Committees require you to provide details of these payments and other related matters,” the chairmen of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees said in a joint letter they sent to her last month demanding she make herself available for a transcribed interview. In addition, they sent a subpoena to her husband for testimony and information.
Although Hunter and Jim Biden’s questionable business dealings – and their possible blessing from the president – are drawing increasing scrutiny, Sara Biden has drawn little attention until now. But court records and other documents show she has been a central player in the Biden family business for decades.
They show how her and her husband’s desire for a lifestyle they could not quite afford has repeatedly led them to form relationships with shady figures and enterprises that often ended in lawsuits and even criminal investigations.
Looming over it all is Joe Biden. Documents recently obtained by government watchdog America First Legal, under a Freedom of Information Act request, reveal that Sara and Jim’s main business, the Lion Hall Group, shows up in more than 3,735 emails generated by the former Vice President Biden’s office.
The sheer volume of communications concerning his brother and sister-in-law’s business appears to contradict Biden’s repeated claims over the years that he was never involved in, or even aware of, his family’s business dealings.

Absolutely.
Ya think?
Joe Biden donor with Ukraine ties helped Sara and James Biden buy posh Fla home.
As crooked as a dog’s hind leg.
That’s right. Biden has the mentality of a Mafioso.
Preemptive pardons are void.
The Supreme Court:
the pardon is void being outside power of the Pres under the Constitution because it was issued before accusation or conviction or admission of an offense.
Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S.
79 (1915)
again I think trump should offer immunity to those left out of the biden blanket pardon put them before a congressional hearing and have it televised prime time for all of America to see
I’m betting Congress is on it...They can still be subpeoned and IIRC, they can’t take the fifth.
I still don’t see how you pardon ANYONE who has not been convicted yet of a crime.
The family pardons put into focus Biden’s disregard for the law. He reveled in the exercise of power. Biden, himself, did not get a pardon. The DOJ should prosecute him for influence peddling.
There still may be some tax issues, personal and for shell entities - income taxes, gift taxes, foreign bank account reporting.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck and moves like a duck.....it is a duck...same for Biden’s family.
Launch a thorough and complete investigation to discover and expose the TRUTH about all illegal activities and all corruption in the Federal Government, its employees, and its agents.
Establish TRUTH.
Then let TRUTH be the judge and the chronicle history the penalty.
History is written by the victors. Trump is here for only four years.
History can’t be relied on for truth
Trump needs to announce he was going to not investigate any Bidenistas who were pardoned for the good of the country but since they have nothing to hide now he will unleash the hounds on them to expose all they have to hide. Starting with Schiff.
