It wasn’t just a few months ago that Joe Biden said “No one is above the law” in reference to his lawfare prosecutions against Donald Trump.
Well, as it turns out, the Biden family is above the law and President Biden just sealed his status as the worst and possibly most corrupt president in American history.
Late on Sunday afternoon, news broke that President Biden executed a full and sweeping pardon of his son Hunter Biden that dates back to January 2014, a period that includes a time when Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s Vice President, reports the New York Post:
President Biden signed a pardon for his son Hunter Sunday after the younger Biden was convicted of federal gun charges and federal tax evasion charges earlier this year, the outgoing Democrat announced.
Biden, 82, claimed he was taking the controversial action after he watched his son being “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.”
The about-face comes after the president, who played a recurring role in the Chinese and Ukrainian business relationships involved in the tax case, previously claimed he would not pardon Hunter, 54.
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty in September to nine counts tied to bilking Americans of $1.4 million in taxes and was found guilty of three federal gun charges in June after he was charged with possession of a firearm while addicted to illegal drugs.
“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,” Biden said in a statement.
As Elon Musk noted, Biden’s statement didn’t age well:

It shouldn’t be shocking that Joe pardoned Hunter on his way out. Maybe the timing is surprising as you wouldn’t have expected it this early. However, there is clearly a lot more to hide surrounding the Biden crime family and Joe needs to tie up the loose ends before he exits.
President Biden previously said he would not pardon Hunter and would not interfere in the justice system, an obvious lie when he said it. He couldn’t let this linger and risk further investigations that would cut deeper into the Biden family.
The lie about the pardon isn’t the issue, however, it’s what the pardon is covering up:
Biden lying is NOT the only problem with pardoning his son's involvement in the family's pay for play scheme, guys. I'm not even sure it's that big a deal compared to the Biden family business itself, which compromised national interests for family financial gain.

The pardon dates all the way back to 2014 meaning there are more crimes yet to be discovered or proven. Surely it’s just a coincidence that the pardon covers Hunter’s time working for Burisma, a corrupt Ukrainian energy company, nothing to see here, move along:
Joe Biden's blanket pardon of Hunter covers the entire period of the 2014 CIA coup in Ukraine when Hunter was appointed to the board of a Ukrainian gas company
This means he can't be investigated for any criminal activity during this timeframe
Are you paying attention yet?

Biden’s reversal is just another in a long line of lies hiding Hunter Biden’s crimes. During the 2020 election, Hunter’s laptop was dismissed as Russian disinformation by Joe Biden on the debate stage. The lying hasn’t stopped despite irrefutable evidence that the laptop is real and Joe Biden was far more deeply involved in his son’s business dealings than anyone knows.
Step 1: "Hunter's laptop is Russian disinformation"
Step 2: "Hunter's laptop was real, but it's old news"
Step 3: "Hunter gets a full pardon for everything he admitted to on his laptop since 2014."

Imagine the firestorm if Donald Trump pardoned one of his children before leaving the White House after his first term. We’d still be hearing about the “threat to democracy” presidential pardons pose to the country.
Even longtime Democrats like Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight fame see the Hunter Biden pardon as corrupt:
Don't vote for any Democrat in 2028 who doesn't repudiate the pardon within 48 hours.

Gone are the days of Scranton Joe and his working-class appeal. The Biden presidency will go down as a capstone on corrupt politicians enriching themselves at the country’s expense while their family members get a free pass for major criminal activity.
