White House: Joe Biden Might Commute Hunter Biden’s Pending Sentence
Breitbart ^ | 06/12/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

The White House left open the idea that President Joe Biden might commute Hunter Biden’s pending federal sentence following his gun-related conviction.

There is no immediate date scheduled for Hunter’s sentencing. A two to three-month delay between conviction and sentencing is typical in the federal system.

“As we all know, the sentencing hasn’t even been scheduled yet,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.

Joe Biden told ABC News last week that he would not pardon his son.

Not a good idea but what does Biden have to lose?

The problem is, as I understand it, there are more charges coming down the road.

How could this be a surprise to anyone?

Why does sentencing take so long?

We can only hope.

“Nursing Home” Joe......the most anti 2nd Amendment President in history.....bails out his son on Federal firearm charges.

He will wait until he loses the election and then pardon between November 5th and January 20th, 2025.

“Biden does not have the power to commute Trump’s sentence.”

Are you really confident that the NY judiciary would put a stop to it if it was done by the top Democrat?

Is there any title he would be ashamed of? Given the right circumstances, I bet he would sleep with Jill.

Given her extensive interest in the trial, including Jill flying from France to Delaware for one day, then back to France again, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's already happened.

Pardons do not have to be specific. Biden could issue a pardon to Hunter for any and all federal crimes he (Hunter) *might* have committed in the past 40 years.

Ford’s pardon of Nixon was something like that. It covered all crimes that Nixon might have committed from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.

The New York Judiciary wouldn’t have to do anything as the hypothetical Biden commutation would be void ab initio.

Biden cannot pardon Trump under any circumstances.

But Biden and the DNC can pressure New York Governor Hochul to pardon Trump. I don’t see that happening.

But who knows? If the Deep State decides that pardoning Trump will help the Democrats, Hochul will do it.

“Nice state you got there, Gov. Hochul. Be a shame if anything happened to it.”

It might be the out for the Biden family to get something in exchange for Joe’s exit from the presidential race. There will be an uproar, and for the sake of party unity or some other bs reason Joe withdraws. He gets to quit with a shred of dignity, as opposed to being simply discarded, and the party gets to nominate someone with a prayer of winning.

Biden won’t even mention Trump by name. Almost like he’s Voltermort and his name can not be said aloud for the fear it brings them.

It wouldn’t be the NY judiciary putting a stop to it. There is simply no legal way for anyone other than the governor to issue a pardon or clemency in the state cases, no matter what a president or anyone else may want.

Not a chance for Trump. The Rats don’t want to end this for Trump.

Biden win out two ways. His spawn doesn’t go to jail and the case is not appealed on Unconditional grounds regarding 2nd amendment.
