Joe Biden Pardons Son Hunter Biden Ahead of Exit From White House
We always knew Joe Biden would pardon his troubled son Hunter, no matter how many times he promised he wouldn’t. So, it is fitting that one of the final acts of this mendacious president before leaving office was to break yet another promise to the American people.
Thus, on Sunday night, the president issued a statement from the White House declaring that he had just signed a “Full and Unconditional Pardon” for Robert Hunter Biden, 54. The pardon comes just days before Hunter was due to be sentenced over a felony gun conviction in Delaware in June and California felony tax fraud charges in September to which he pleaded guilty on the first day of trial.
Joe claims that Hunter was “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently… singled out only because he is my son.” In an amusing twist, the president explained away all his lies to the American people by lying about his lying: “For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth.”
Hunter was photographed out and about in Nantucket with his dad and the rest of the Biden clan, chewing gum and acting like he didn’t have a care in the world. Hours after Joe and Hunter dined at a Nantucket restaurant, the Washington Post published excerpts Saturday from a document written by Hunter’s lawyers that made the emotional case for his pardon.
The document, titled “The political prosecutions of Hunter Biden,” claimed that Hunter was a victim of political persecution, who suffered due to his father’s power and influence. Hunter’s lawyers described the opus in dramatic terms as “the complete and reprehensible history of the political persecution of Hunter Biden … a seven-year saga propelled by an unrelenting political desire to use a son to hurt his father.”
However, the truth is that Hunter knowingly committed the crimes for which he has been pardoned and did so in the arrogant belief that his father’s power made him untouchable. Despite his lawyer’s excuse that Hunter was “in the throes of serious drug addiction,” Hunter was sober at the time he committed the tax fraud, according to his own timeline he presented in court.
The Bidens are correct when they say that the legal system was “corrupted by political leaders in this country,” but not in the way they pretend. Hunter got an unfair advantage because of his father’s power. He broke laws with impunity and knew that nobody would ever stop him from doing exactly what he wanted.
The corrupted investigation in Delaware was just the tip of the iceberg. Hunter didn’t even have to worry about legal fees and living expenses to support his lavish lifestyle. Daddy’s donors always came through. The person who corrupted the legal system in this country is Joe Biden. He weaponized it against his political nemesis Donald Trump and Trump’s supporters. Trump is the victim of unjust prosecution, not Hunter.
