That the pardon goes back to 2014 is revealing and damning. .
Joe Biden could have commuted the sentence of Hunter Biden. A commutation is less than a full pardon, it maintains the conviction but spares Hunter prison. That would have been the way to maintain respect for norms while playing the sentimentality card, and I'm sure the Bidens were advised to do this.
The full pardon goes back to 2014. The statute of limitations for tax fraud is 6 years, and for most other federal offenses like money laundering, it's 5 years. More serious crimes like murder and underage sex trafficking have no statute of limitations.
Hence the pardon should have ended with conduct committed in 2018, the longer of the two SOL's (six years for tax fraud).
Having the pardon cover all behavior, charged and uncharged, from 2014 is the most significant fact of all. This is proof that Hunter Biden committed far more serious crimes than what he was charged for, or else there'd have been no reason to had the blanket pardon look back 11 years.
There's another quirk to consider. The 5 year statute of limitations doesn't begin running until the last overt act. For example, if Hunter and Joe Biden conspired with Ukrainian oligarchs to launder money, and this conspiracy occurred from 2014 to 2021, then prosecutors could argue that the Joe, James (Joe's brother) and Hunter Biden could be prosecuted for conduct occurring as far back as 2014.
Hence this pardon was not about Hunter Biden or Joe's love for his son. This was a way to close any loose ends, and allow the Biden Crime Family to retire in luxury.
...
It’s hiding Maidan. Not just protecting Joe and the family but Samantha Power and Victoria Nuland and their gang as well.
...
an 11 year pardon! Why even have laws?
...
Some enterprising prosecutor might successfully argue that you cannot pardon an unnamed crime, and that for a pardon to be valid, the conduct pardoned must be explicitly stated.
...
really a coverup for the whole Biden crime enterprise which started when Biden was the VP & Hunter the front man.
...
The commuting his sentence would have saved face as well, he said he wouldn’t pardon him , he never said he wouldn’t commute his sentence . Everything combined is why it’s so clear that it was about the crimes of them all.
...
about Biden family survival, not compassion.
...
He did this to protect himself. There is so much hidden while he was VP that this helps protect both of them.
Good old Sternovich. He likes Trump again. Sort of!
Anyway, I don’t understand what the huge flap about pardoning Punter is. Somebody should just c4p him. Problem solved!
This may be used to blackmail Plugs Biden!
Oh my, making Richard Nixon look even more like a choir boy compared to Democrat presidents. And as they said during Watergate, the coverup being worse than the original crime(s).
It is an admission of guilt. “Look! We did dirty stuff back then I need to cover up too!”.
Joe biden is corrupt.. completely. Sold out..
He has no limits.. there are more .deeper,
If he had been a Republican, he’d be gone. The double standard will be the ruination of our nation.. The hope is Trump. If the Bidens are not held accountable, it will breed more and worse.
He can still be prosecuted on state charges if that is any comfort. A presidential pardon only covers federal crimes.
They were just too cheap, lazy and stupid to do it the legal way by laundering their money through non-profit organizations and Beltway think tanks that are funded with millions of dollars in foreign money.
The pardon is CYA, nothing else. hunter could take joe and obama and a big pile of the dim-0 party with him, so he had to be pardoned, or killed!
They may,or may not,have also explained to him that these pardons are also essential to avoid massive damage to the Rat Party itself.
If The Big Guy's smart he'll be pardoning at least two or three more family members...and possibly even more.
Deep State is protecting the people who installed the POTATUS.
The biden criminal enterprise (AKA crime family) is an embarrassment to civil society, law, reason and humanity. ALL of those who support him and have supported him are complicit. ALL should be held accountable...no exceptions. Never forget what these criminals have done to you, your family and this country. They are the putrid dregs of society.
Indeed. Hence my prior comment in another thread.
It is 'the tell.'
Biden will blanket pardon every family member and every member of his administration. No Scooter Libby left behind.
Best way to handle it would seem to be....send the whole bunch to jail.

Correct..
After Hunter’s Pardon, It’s Time To Prosecute The Rest Of The Biden Crime Family..
