Some Things To Consider About ‘The Pardon’

On Wednesday, Peter Schweizer posted an article at Breitbart about President Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter. Peter Schweizer is the author of Profiles in Corruption, a book about corruption and money in Washington, D.C. He has done a lot of research into the Biden family and probably knows a lot about where the bodies are buried.

The article lists a number of things unique about the pardon:

1. The enormous scope. Not only was this for a family member, but it effectively made Hunter Biden immune anything he might have done for the past 10 years…

2. This is a proxy pardon that will extend to Joe Biden and other members of the Biden family.

3. The timing matters. Why does it specifically start with Jan. 1, 2014, and end Dec. 1, 2024? Because, Schweizer explains, right after the start date is when the money from China first began to flow.

4. A second bite at Hunter’s immunity deal.

5. Trump’s election triggered the pardon. Had Kamala Harris won the election, her administration would certainly have shut down any ongoing investigations by the Justice Department of a wide influence-peddling operation by members of the Biden family.

6. The criminal justice system does have a double standard, but not based on race or even wealth. It is based on political connections and family connections.

7. The mainstream media is dead. The airwaves and video streams are full of embarrassing examples of supposedly objective reporters and commentators applauding Biden in the past for refusing to pardon his son.

This pardon illustrates the rot that has accumulated in Washington, D.C., in recent years. President Trump was elected to clean out that rot. The establishment is Washington, D.C., will do everything it can to prevent President Trump from putting his people in place to clean up the mess. Be prepared for unbelievable personal attacks and smears against people who up to now have had spotless reputations.

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. The pardon will probably stand, but I hope the investigations into the influence peddling continue.

A New Level Of Chutzpah

President Biden has pardoned his son Hunter of all crimes committed between 2014 and 2024. In his statement regarding the pardon, President Biden cited the fact that he felt the charges against Hunter Biden were politically motivated and that he feared that the incoming administration would use the Justice Department politically. Wow. You mean like he has done for the past four years? It is telling that Baron Trump’s bedroom was searched by the FBI, but Hunter’s residence was never searched. Looking at the dates mentioned, I wonder if there is a statute of limitations involved here. There have been valid charges of child pornography on Hunter’s laptop. Is he now immune from those charges? President Biden was Vice-President from 2008 through 2016. When did the selling influence operations begin? Is there a statue of limitations on peddling influence? Are we about to find out?

On Sunday, Legal Insurrection posted an article about President Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden.

The article includes the following statement from President Biden:

From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.

The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.

The reason for the pardon is simple–it is an attempt (it may or may not be successful) to end any further investigation into influence peddling by the Biden family. I am hoping investigations will continue and that the guilty will be held accountable for their actions.
