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

Posted on 06/12/2024 10:41:23 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.

This will not play well with the populace. Meanwhile, wasn’t Hunter essentially convicted of improperly participating in the infringement of his own 2A rights? I don’t expect the Left to mention that angle.

What happens if the NY Supreme Court rules the pardon is valid?

More likely Biden is pressuring Merchan to send Trump to prison on July 11th.

A pardon expunges the felony conviction. A commutation leaves the conviction in place, but reduces the sentence. Hunter will still be a convicted felon prohibited from owning or possessing firearms.

Is he dying?

My guess is the pardon is already signed and dated and sitting in a vault in case he drops dead.

But otherwise he will be President until January.

he might not be president within the month

In this case, Jill is concerned so maybe she wants to make sure that Hunter is taken care of so he does not have to worry about bis legal troubles?

“come on folks, surely you knew that was going to happen”

Of course, on what planet could Joek allow the smartest man he knows go to Prison?

It would seem Humpers charges and conviction are a lot worst than PDT. Come on man, no lie, spread the commutations around JoeK! Assuming PDT can still appeal his Political show trial conviction after a commutation?

“Hunter will still be a convicted felon prohibited from owning or possessing firearms”

No biggie, he doesn’t need a gun, the Bidens have enough cash squirreled away in offshore accounts to hire penciled neck geek Zuckerberg type security for decades.

Even Bill Clinton broke promises.
