Shameful: Biden Pardons More Family Members on His Way Out

The “most corrupt presidential administration in history” is not a tough sell when you examine Joe Biden’s actions over the past few days and months.

Joe Biden took every opportunity given to renege on his promises that he would never pardon family members for possible crimes they may have committed. He is on the record multiple times saying that he would not be pardoning Hunter Biden nor would he pardon other family members. Well, he already torched the first promise back in December.

So much for “no one is above the law” unless your last name is Biden. Democrats used to scream about Donald Trump possibly pardoning his own family when leaving office in 2021 but that never happened. As Trump said, a pre-emptive pardon implies a crime was committed so it’s not a good look.

Here’s Biden in 2020 saying he would never abuse the pardon system like that:

The guy has no morals whatsoever. He said what he needed to say to get elected and then immediately reneged on every promise he made not to give his family special treatment for the crimes they likely committed.

The Bidens look pretty bad right now thanks to The Big Guy handing out pardons like Tic Tacs while leaving the White House:

President Joe Biden pardoned his brother James Biden and other relatives Monday for unspecified crimes, a similar last-minute move to protect his family from potential investigation as when he pardoned his son Hunter Biden for gun and tax convictions.

The president said he pardoned his brother and other relatives − James’s wife Sara Jones Biden, sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband John Owens, and another brother, Francis Biden − because of concerns about “baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families,” he said in a statement released minutes before the end of his term.

“Even when individuals have done nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage their reputations and finances,” Biden said.

Even his statement implies that charges could be brought by saying that his family will “ultimately be exonerated” from crimes they may be accused of. Exonerated from what, exactly? What did they do that they will need to exonerate themselves from?

Joe Biden has done more damage to democracy and the rule of law than Donald Trump could ever dream of doing. There is no further argument that Biden is some kind of moral figure just looking out for the working class. He’s a lifelong Washington swamp creature pursuing enrichment at the expense of everything around him.

President Trump commented on Biden’s pardon spree pointing out that it makes them all look very guilty:

In fact, here’s Democrat Chuck Schumer attacking Biden for his pre-emptive pardons:

Oh, wait, that was Schumer saying if Trump did what Biden did, it would be a “gross abuse” of the Presidential pardon authority.

Joe Biden is guilty of being the worst stereotype that he endlessly accused Donald Trump of being. In short, Joe Biden was the Donald Trump Democrats warned you about.

His legacy will forever be tarnished more than it already was.

The last four years were a nightmare for the American people leaving a smoldering mess for Trump to clean up.

Here’s a montage of Democrats repeatedly and unequivocally condemning pre-emptive pardons as the worst possible thing a President could do. Oops! Guess it’s fine now that Biden did it:
