Just How Stupid Do They Think We Are?

The more I think about Joe Biden's pardon of his bagman/tax-cheat son, Hunter, the angrier I get — but maybe not for the reason you think.

As I'm sure you're well aware by now, père Biden's blanket pardon forgives all of Hunter's transgressions going back ten years, when father (then vice president) and son were both playing footsie with Vladimir Putin's old cronies in Kyiv. Burisma? Pardoned. Million-dollar tax evasion? Ditto. Gun offenses, all of it.

Then there's the Big Lie because it isn't Joe Biden without one.

"No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son," Biden said in a statement on Sunday, "and that is wrong."

Oh, please. Hunter was guilty of far more than he was ever convicted of. The Biden DOJ dragged its feet and let the worst offenses slip under the statute of limitations and only brought him to court after whistleblowers blew up the DOJ's sweetheart plea deal. If Joe had gotten his way — and he nearly did — there would have been no need for pardon.

And as my colleague Matt Margolis wrote earlier today, the pardon was just as much about protecting père as it was about forgiving son — "it was about preventing exposure of the Biden crime family's influence-peddling schemes."

Donald Trump called it "an abuse and miscarriage of Justice." Legal scholar Jonathan Turley wrote that Biden has "shredded any residue of veracity and credibility as president." In all fairness to Turley, did Biden ever have enough veracity and credibility to leave so much as a residue?

But here's the thing. The president's constitutional power to pardon for federal offenses is effectively unlimited. POTUS can pardon anyone for anything at

The Three Stooges handled that kind of question.

Landlord: What kind of a fool do you think I am?”

Curly: “I didn’t realize that there is more than one kind!”

They think we are as stupid as the people that actually voted for Joe.

Being pardoned, he can be compelled to testify. The Fifth Amendment is no protection, since he cannot incriminate himself even if he admits to doing things that are serious violations of the law. Drag him in front of congress, compel him to testify. Jail him for contempt if he refuses, put him on trial for perjury if he lies.

Because of the pardon, Hunter can move longer plead the fifth.

Time for congress to haul him in and put him on the hot seat.

Isn't it normally part of a pardon that the defendant has to disclose all the details of each and every crime he has committed?

I should think there should be a full, detailed, in-depth investigation of everything Hunter Biden did, including his father's involvement in his criminal activity.

Of course, any steps taken — by either the defendant or his father — to suppress or impede that investigation would could be prosecuted as an obstruction of justice.

Is there enough time to impeach Biden and remove their SS protection? You know Litte Crack Head is going to be living with them and receiving SS protection until the day Dr. Strangelove Jill dies, right?

Everyone step back. Take a deep breath and look to the future.

Does anyone think the Biden Crime Syndicate will end on January 20? An admission of guilt by Hunter in taking this pardon will result in his owing Three Million Dollars in back IRS taxes.

Money he can not pay from his criminal enterprises unless he wants to open a new investigation for crimes committed post pardon.

And will Pedo Pete pardon James and Sarah? They were very much involved in the money laundering between Burisma, the CCP and others.

Look. There will be every possibility and every opportunity for Bondi to go after Joe and Hunter. After Inauguration Day. After the pardon expires and yet criminal actions continue.

All he has to do is, ala James Comey, answer every question with "I can't recall."

I suspect the bigger crime is their being under the control of China for the bribes and blackmail.

True, but I don’t think he has the discipline to keep up with it - sooner or later he’d crack.

Example: when does he become guilty for evading 2024 taxes? That would be due after the pardoned boundary, right?

No worries.

Hunter can sell some of his shit art and cover that default before penalties and interest.

This is the best Christmas present Biden could have possibly given us - just wait and see.
