On his way out the door of the White House, former President Joe Biden pardoned five members of his family not named “Hunter.”
All five – brother James and his wife, Sara; sister Valerie and her husband, John; and brother Frank – were implicated in various influence-peddling schemes just like the previously pardoned Hunter. It was Joe Biden’s last act of loyalty… to his family co-conspirators.
One very disappointed man joined The Drill Down podcast this week – Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House government oversight committee, which last year gathered all sorts of evidence linking the Biden family to the influence-peddling scheme that got Hunter Biden prosecuted for tax evasion, among other crimes. He just published a best-selling book, All the President’s Money, detailing all of what his committee learned from testimony, subpoenaed bank records, and the previous work of Peter Schweizer and the Government Accountability Institute in the books Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Does Comer think there is anything that can still be done?
“The ball’s in [incoming Attorney General] Pam Bondi’s court,” Comer says, before posing the question: “Is the Trump administration committed to holding them accountable?”
“The Department of Justice could nail the Bidens for violation of Foreign Agents Registration Act,” Comer tells the hosts. “They could nail the Bidens for money laundering. They could nail the Bidens for tax evasion. IRS whistleblowers [who testified to his committee] said they didn’t pay any taxes on tens of millions of dollars that we found they took from these foreign countries. The banks said they were money laundering. Everybody that knows anything knows they were violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” Comer says.
Eggers asks: Would the pardons dished out by Joe Biden protect them from any future criminal charges?

If they know all this, why couldn’t Congress have done this?
Apparently you cant pardon someone if there is no indictment. Per a new court decision. They could use this against Shifty Schiff and the Lizzard. Like to see that
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), House govt oversight committee chair, published a best-seller, “All the President’s Money,” details what he learned from testimony, subpoenaed bank records, etc..........
“The ball’s in Pam Bondi’s court,” Comer says. The DoJ could nail the Bidens for

“IRS whistleblowers said the Bidens didn’t pay any taxes on tens of millions of dollars foreign countries. The banks said they were money laundering.......they were violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” Comer says.
DJT needs to shift this to President Vance in 4 years.
Biden may have pardoned his family for their prior acts, but they haven't filed their 2025 tax forms for 2024 yet. Hiding income on their 2025 tax forms that are due in April is not covered by their blanket pardons.

Trump needs to ask the SCOTUS to define the word Pardon as the Founders meant it to be understood.
President Nixon was never indicted, yet he was pardoned.
Future President Clinton was never indicted, for his admitted draft dodging, yet was considered covered by President Carter’s pardon of Vietnam draft dodgers, indicted or not. And IIRC Pres. Andrew Johnson preemptively pardoned most of the South.
No, they cannot claim that they will/can not testify on the grounds that they may incriminate themselves, but they will just lie and they will get away with it. It has worked for them for decades.
First, send Fauxi to Russia.
There are countless ways to go after them. Even merely investigating is enough to scare the pants of ‘em. As far as anyone knows, no specific crime was named in the pardons.
That’s a good point.
The Congressman needs to keep his mouth shut until May after tax season. Biden blanket pardons cover everything in the past. If they don’t pay from new income this year, then Bondi can nail them.
Hillary Clinton set the bar.
Per AI response of a search:
Hillary Clinton used some variation of “I don’t recall” at least 20 times during her responses to a lawsuit, and reports indicate she may have said it as many as 327 times during her FBI interview regarding her email practices.
You don’t get to say, “I don’t recall” on your income tax return. As others have pointed out, they (like all the rest of us) have yet to file their 2024 returns. Oh, and even if they are fully truthful and pay tax on their 2024 income, much of their interest and other investment income would have come about from earlier, undeclared, income. They can be asked about it (and go to jail if they lie about it) and can be forced to pay if they’re truthful about it (plus interest and penalties, the latter including material understatements of income going back 6 years). The pardon keeps them out of jail for past lies and tax evasion, it doesn’t wipe away the liabilities.
Regarding post #16, if anyone has a contact in the Trump Administration, please forward the post to them. This is a great way to claw back a lot of what the Biden Crime Family stole from the American people…and this includes unpardoned Joe and Jill.
Just use the RICO statute to nail them all.
N-i-c-e catch.
