We all knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it any less scummy. The Bidens are dirtbags to the core and prove it again and again.
WashingtonCNN —
President Joe Biden announced Sunday that he has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who faced sentencing this month on gun crime and tax convictions, marking a reversal as he prepares to leave office.
“Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” the president said in a statement. It is a “full and unconditional pardon,” according to a copy of the executive grant of clemency.

By pardoning his son, Joe Biden has reneged on a public promise that he made repeatedly before and after dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. The president and his top White House spokesperson have said unequivocally, including after Trump won the 2024 election, that he would not pardon Hunter Biden or commute his sentence.
The pardon means Hunter Biden won’t be sentenced for his crimes, and it eliminates any chance of his being sent to prison, which was a possibility. Once the judges overseeing his cases are notified of the pardon, they’ll likely cancel the sentencing hearings, which were slated for December 12 in the gun case and December 16 in the tax case.
The pardon covers any potential federal crimes that Hunter Biden committed “from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024,” which, importantly, covers his entire tenure on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma. He had faced scrutiny for his controversial foreign business dealings.
Daddy certainly did all he could, but Junior will still be in fresh trouble before long. Not a matter of if so much as when.
So why don’t Presidents just use their friends and family as assassins? F*cking ridiculous power. If Hunter had killed Trump, could he have been pardoned?
>The Democrats are dirtbags to the core and prove it again and again.
Fixed that for you. It was quite fun to see the great reset this morning, with every Democrat waking up with fresh new programming about how the DOJ has been weaponized against an individual and how Biden did only the most minimal thing he could do to save his son from wrongful persecution. Can’t wait for more heads to explode when on Day 1, Trump uses the exact same power to pardon himself.
For the record, both actions would be wrong, but its funny to watch the Left have an aneurysm over it. I didn’t think smooth brains had much risk of that, but they will in a few weeks.
