I suppose the CIA would just set up a Department of DNA Sheep Dipping. However, an independent and incorruptible agency (if any could possibly exist) would cut through a lot of fraud and wasted time in the political world. That's entirely too straight forward and easy, though, and defies the Satanic imperatives of keeping the public immersed in a world of shadows and deceptions.

Guess I was wrong on points of the pardon. The date of the pardon extended from 2014. It's post absolution. Issues unkown at the time of the pardon as well?

Anyway, it disposes of the Biden dramas in the public eye.

This is my take. If he pardons there are less Democrat voters come 2026 and Trump could potentially have a super majority in Congress. So let him pardon his son and further destroy the pile of shit that is the Dem party.

I say just let this ugly chapter in America go into the sunset. Joe will be dead by 90. Hunter will probably overdose. A pardon doesn't matter to me. The POTUS shouldn't even be able to pardon people anyway in my opinion. Just don't do shit that could imply you were involve in a crime. It's not difficult to not commit crimes. Somehow I've managed to stay clean beside a potential minor charge that might result in a night in jail but nothing else, but that hasn't happened.

I'm amazed at anyone who could have ever voted for that asshole Joe Biden.

Biden has always disguised being a moron by acting as an ass and as arrogant.

That is how he politically survived as the media embraced this persona with such titles as lunch bucket Joe, and a very vocal fighter for the white working class and unions (well, mostly the public/government employee unions)..

Here is an article going back to Sept 2008:

He didn't pardon his brother Jim Biden.

YET. The Biden family pardons will occur right after New Years.

If the entire Biden regime is nullified due to the 2020 fraud, then the pardon also becomes void. Of course, that doesn't seem likely depending on the kinetics used by the Globalists and Deep State to keep Trump out of the White House.

The pardon does a good job of the final wake up for some about Biden et alia. Just various gangsters taking over the ship of state.

Joe Biden just gave President Trump the biggest gift any outgoing president has ever given his replacement. CNN ran one of several articles covering the story under the headline, “Analysis: Biden’s pardon of his son pours fuel on Trump’s claims of politicized justice.” Joe just gave President Trump the political equivalent of a diamond tennis bracelet for Christmas.




https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1863383227240452483

CLIP: Jean-Pierre: “no, no, no, it is a no. Will be pardon his son? No.”

Joe has emphatically promised that he would never pardon Hunter. “No man is above the law,” the old relic used to tell reporters every time Hunter’s name came up. More egregiously, Democrats and liberal legal commenters wrote poems blessing Biden for his saintly adherence to the “rule of law,” letting his own son experience the just consequences of his actions and keeping politics completely out of it.

Surprising only the Democrat base — plus, I suppose, captive corporate media who are pretending to be surprised — last night President Vegetable Étouffée shattered a long series of public promises by issuing a formal presidential pardon excusing his son, baby Cabbage, for all crimes, known or unknown, committed during his gloriously profitable crime spree starting on January 1, 2014. No coincidentally, 2014 was the year Hunter started “working” as Ukrainian energy company Burisma’s first outside board member, and when his company Metabiota began tinkering with viruses in that godforsaken country.

You might call it the unintended Trump Effect. One day after President-Elect Trump announced the terrifying nomination of Kash Patel to lead the F.B.I., Joe Biden shocked his Democrat allies — CNN called it a “stunning development” — who thought all the hard feelings were behind them, along with Joe’s ability to exact any more political revenge.

A single-page statement emerged from the bowels of the White House, covered in a white, powdery residue that a nearby Secret Service agent said was untraceable, so don’t bother. The statement explained the rationale for Hunter’s pardon, blaming Joe’s broken promise not to pardon Hunter on, of course, President Trump.

CNN — along with the “stunned” Democrats — instantly recognized that Joe just torpedoed their best weapon in the narrative war against President Trump. CNN admitted in the article that the carefully focus-grouped slogan “no one is above the law” is now dead, kaput, fully expired. CNN said Hunter’s pardon “raises questions about the bedrock notion that underpins the system of justice in the United States that everyone — even presidents and their families — are equal before the law.”

The Republicans promptly began invading narrative territory long held by Democrats. From the story:

And Trump's Republican allies sought to use the situation to bolster the chances of Senate
confirmation for some of his most provocative picks. "Democrats can spare us the lectures
about the rule of law when, say, President Trump nominates Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to
clean up this corruption," Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton wrote on X.

In other words, Republicans are already loading Hunter’s pardon as political ammunition into their rhetorical guns. “Already, Republicans are arguing the Hunter Biden pardon shows that the current president, and not the next one, is most to blame for politicizing the system of justice by meting out favorable treatment to his son,” CNN dolefully allowed, admitting that “Their claim may not be accurate, but it can still be politically effective.”

Indeed.

Biden’s official statement — I promise I am not making this up — was an ode to the weaponization of the justice system. You couldn’t ask for better evidence to support tearing the FBI and DOJ down to their mildew-ridden roots than this, a formal statement from a sitting president complaining about the politicized justice system. ...

There you have it: the leader of the federal government itself, and the party’s top Democrat, agrees with Republicans that the nation’s justice system has been politically weaponized. We may disagree whether the weaponization was partisan and if so, in which direction the partisanship twists. But now, Republicans and Democrats unanimously agree: the justice system is broken. The New York Times noticed the political danger:

In Pardoning His Son, Biden Echoes
Some of Trump's Complaints
President Biden and President-elect Trump
now agree on one thing: The Biden Justice
Department has been politicized.

In other words, Biden may have snatched Hunter off the board, but he switched the pieces. Biden’s statement put the DOJ and the FBI onto the chessboard, in Hunter’s place, already in check. In chess terms, it was like saving a pawn by giving up the queen and both rooks.

As for Hunter, well, if special prosecutor Jack Smith can soak up more millions of your tax money producing a stinker of a Trump report even though President Trump’s cases were dismissed, then incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi can spend a few bucks producing an odious Hunter Biden report, too, even though Hunter was pardoned.

Finally, President Trump’s immediate response was to turn the Hunter pardon around on Democrats, as a justification for pardoning the J6 political prisoners:



... In other words, Hunter’s pardon opens the way for pardoning the J6 prisoners (and possibly others). It was a brilliant political move. Brilliant, that is, if Joe Biden were trying to help President Trump.

Ah, interesting:

Scenario: one or more of the 51 “intelligence officials” get prosecuted for election interference for their phony public letter about “the hallmarks of Russian influence”. Necessarily a key witness in their trial is Hunter Biden, who now because of the pardon cannot refuse to testify by invoking the Fifth Amendment. If he spills the beans the truth is revealed for all to see and if he lies he commits perjury which can then be prosecuted because it falls outside the timeline of the pardon. Perhaps Joe just checkmated all his sleazy family members.

Behind every stick figure puppet is a dynastic or bloodline. With Biden, it is the Dupont Satanic Hub of Delaware. With Newsom, it is the Getty-Pelosi group. Original Biden was also a Jesuit trained gangster, the role carried on by his family members. That is why they go to so much trouble to keep the Biden figure going with the cartoons even after death. He was too valuable a brand name to let go, and he is a ritual humiliation and mockery of the public to boot.

Plus, very few did vote for him. Remember, he barely campaigned and his rallies sometime had fewer than a dozen people. Same with KamalaToe, though she paid for larger hired crowds when blowing through her billion.

Indeed . . .

Biden can pardon himself and the rest of the Biden family. I predict a Biden family pardon after New Years.

Another trick Biden can pull is to pardon some J6 along with pardoning himself and family. That way Biden can say "putting the issue to bed." That J6 pardon could also include the undercover scum, pipe bomber, and inciters.

Marginalised MAGAs should just be happy for this little stuff, While the globalists steal the thunder and make MAGA as “hate the neighborhood liberal or minority” .

So sad!!

"Everybody shocked, shocked I say, that Biden lied again."

Paron the innocent J6ers and prosecute the glowies and infiltrators. Also, bring Ashly Babbit's murderer to justice.

Just when depressed Democrats, still licking their post-election wounds, thought things couldn’t get any worse, Joe broke wind at the DC dinner party. If anything, the Biden Crime Family Pardon was an absurd faux pas, which continued heaving up hilarity and political entertainment all day yesterday, in heaping handfuls, as corporate media flailed wildly in desperate search of a mutually agreed narrative. It’s almost like their handlers won’t tell them what to do. Behold, Google’s Fractured Fairy Tales, I mean Top Stories, this morning:




For most of yesterday morning, the media tried coalescing around a typical “Republicans Pounce” narrative, sketching Biden as, perhaps, a good father, even if a bad president. In this failed morality play, Republicans were the unfeeling interlopers butting into a private family drama, like a nosy neighbor who saw cop cars at the house last night, and came over to deliver the unsolicited advice that “if you want to know what I think, you should just let him go to jail, to learn his lesson.”

But that narrative quickly collapsed, since Republicans weren’t so much pouncing as they were rolling around on the floor laughing and pointing at duped Democrat talking heads who, having bought Joe’s regularly regurgitated lie about never ever pardoning Hunter, swanked around for a year bragging about their party’s undying love and irrevocable respect for the majesty of the law, compared to knuckle-dragging Republicans. But now, these ‘elites’ look like idiots, and it smarts.

When the “Republicans Pounce” narrative collapsed yesterday, the narrative devolved into a chaotic free-for-all. Even beyond how bad the pardon looked yesterday, this scandal is further damaging the already well-dinged Democrat ‘brand.’ Democrats who crossed the aisle and voted for Trump are probably thanking their lucky stars. To witness the astonishing same-day rhetorical evolution, consider just two headlines, both from far-left Axios. Here’s Sunday’s headline, right after the pardon news broke. ...

Here’s the bigger point: the reason for the Democrats’ deepening identity crisis is that, at least on the Hunter pardon issue, corporate media is obviously adrift, for the first time in years having no one to tell them what the approved narrative is. The Democrat party is both leaderless, thanks to an irascible, grudge-holding, hell-hath-no-fury like a scorned commander in chief who’s turned against the party, and also rudderless, having been abandoned by its deep state handlers. (At least, on this issue.)

Believe me, it’s tempting to speculate on where media coordination and Democrat party discipline has run off to. Let’s watch and see if they can stitch a coherent narrative back together today.

Ibid:

Meanwhile, yesterday’s comments included tons of questions about legal points relating to Hunter’s pardon. Evidently, I did a poor job anticipating the issues, so I’ll do my best today to answer these fine legal points.

How broad was Hunter’s pardon? Does it include (x, y, z)?

Hunter’s pardon was unusually and historically broad. The next closest example was Gerald Ford’s controversial 1974 pardon of Richard Nixon. This is a deeply embarrassing comparison for politically savvy Democrats, to whom Nixon was arguably even more Hitler than Donald Trump.

Hunter’s pardon was so broad it included unknown crimes and a breathtaking decade-long time span. Usually, presidents prefer not to pardon unknown crimes, because it could be badly embarrassing later if it turned out the person murdered somebody or blew up an airplane or something.

In other words, it wasn’t even close to being “just” a pardon. People are intentionally lying who claim Biden “understandably” pardoned his son out of protective fatherly instinct. Had Biden just been acting as a reluctant but loving father, the pardon would have been as narrow as possible or at least, limited to known crimes. Saying this pardon was just because Biden didn’t “want to see his son go to jail” is kind of like saying he only asked the Ukrainians for a little walking around money during his visit.

As for its scope, the pardon can’t reach two types of crimes: first, no future crime can be pardoned. Second, since the president's pardon power applies only to federal offenses, Hunter can still be charged under state law, if there was any state Attorney General brave enough to do it.

Did Hunter Biden’s pardon also ‘essentially’ pardon Joe Biden?

No, I don’t agree with this hot take. Biden did not “essentially pardon himself.” He might have pardoned his agent or his co-conspirator, but it seems unlikely to me that Joe can raise for himself any effective pardon-related defense. The only truth in this hot take is the pardon might make it harder to prosecute Joe — if, that is, you believed Hunter would have ever testified truthfully against his dad.

Can Hunter be compelled to testify since, having been pardoned, he cannot raise the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination?

Unfortunately, Hunter probably cannot be compelled to testify. He could still incriminate himself in crimes under state law (that were not pardoned).

Why did Hunter’s DOJ prosecutors refuse to voluntarily dismiss his case?

Yesterday, Newsweek ran a story headlined, “Prosecutors urge court not to dismiss Hunter Biden case after pardon.” This new created confusion and a lot more hot takes. But there’s nothing there. It’s only a fine procedural argument.

Hunter’s lawyers immediately and correctly sought dismissal of the criminal cases after the pardon came through. The DOJ special counsel handling the cases immediately responded, saying ‘dismissal’ wasn’t the correct procedure, since the crimes and convictions were only pardoned, not vacated or expunged. The special counsel argued instead that the cases should be administratively terminated.

In other words, everyone agrees the cases should end. The only argument is over how to end them. Hunter’s lawyers are earning their fees by trying to clean up his record as best they can on the way out.

If you are looking for a deeper dive, including the Hunter Pardon Kiev Connection, try Ron Paul’s reaction discussion:

https://x.com/RonPaul/status/1863710255462412337

@RonPaul
Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter is the most sweeping Presidential pardon since Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon.

It represents the deep corruption and contempt for the rule of law that has characterized the Biden presidency.

But it is also important for another reason: the pardon is an attempt to erase the Biden family involvement with Ukraine from the time of the 2014 coup through the millions that passed into family accounts.

Our current state of near WWIII is directly tied to the Biden family seeking personal riches in Ukraine.

Biden is a lame duck. He might be senile, but he knows what he is and was. He knows 80% of people won't give a shit. He's a fucking politician, he knows what his kid did. There's no risk to Joe. He knows his legacy is trash and he'll probably be dying soon. He's past normal life expectancy. Elderly people, which is what he is, stop giving a shit.

He can also just flee the country. Plenty of non-extradition countries where he could just retire. Hunter gets off and there's nothing anyone can do about it. If I were him I'd be selling my real estate now, rent and get ready to run. Put the cash in a foreign country with decent health care that won't extradite. Hunter can fend for himself.

Jill Biden is the other X factor. I wouldn't be shocked if she was running all this shit. She seems like a cunning cunt. That might be a last second pardon as well. Not a prediction, but wouldn't be shocked.

This is more fake soap opera around Dead Biden as another brouhahaha distraction while they are plotting execution of the real psyops and operations against Trump and the Republic? The Dead Bidens continues their roles a puppet distractions. The pounding waves of publicity focus on them while the real treacheries are afoot?

The pardon drama is pointless because dead guy imposters can't pardon dead guy imposters. Revealing that they are dead guys all along and ripping off the masks in public would be anti-Satanic, but that's not going to happen. As long as they perpetuate the deceptions in the public mind, they win on that front for the battle of perception.

Mike Benz: Hunter Biden Pardoned For "Selling U.S. Foreign Policy For The Personal Profit Of The Biden Family"
Tim Hains
December 3, 2024

"Foundation For Freedom Online" founder Mike Benz comments on the Hunter Biden pardon during an interview with Liz Wheeler.

MIKE BENZ: Yeah, so shocking! The size and scope of it, though, is honestly even a little surprising to me. I mean, it's an 11-year total blank-slate, get-out-of-all-crimes-free card. I don't know if this is completely unprecedented in all pardons in U.S. history, but I've never seen anything like it.

This is 11 years, from January 2014 to the present day -- all crimes, whether charged or not. I mean, he could have murdered someone in between that time, and he's evidently got a pardon for it now. And I think the reason for this wide scope is because what Hunter Biden was doing was essentially selling U.S. foreign policy for the personal profit of the Biden family.

That's why it seems like almost every member of the Biden family has a professional job, almost like in the mafia. It's like they keep it in the blood, so they can share bank accounts, keep things close-held, and everyone has their different parts -- between Hunter and Jim. I know a lot of people are now expecting, you know, James Biden to receive pardons as well.

LIZ WHEELER: Don't you think he will before Biden's out of office?

MIKE BENZ: It seems highly likely, and it may have the same sort of almost indefinite term. I mean, why not make it 40 years going back? Why stop at 11? Obviously, it's for the reasons that you noted.

I think what's implicated here is something far more vast and deep than Hunter Biden himself or even Joe Biden himself. I think this really gets to the heart of the diplomatic octopus of the U.S. empire, which could potentially create international and diplomatic blowback on the U.S. if these crimes are revealed -- not just to the American people but to the international community.

I think this is why you have the CIA all over this story. You have the State Department all over this story. You have USAID all over this story. You have the Pentagon all over it. I mean, you mentioned the Ukraine impeachment in 2019. That was led by, effectively, the Pentagon through the Vindman brothers and the CIA whistleblower -- whose name you were not allowed to say on social media for several weeks -- Eric Ciaramella, right?

Ciaramella was actually on the email chain about Burisma with Joe Biden directly from the CIA. And if you recall, we have whistleblower testimony to Congress that the CIA actually intervened in the Justice Department's intent to do an interview of Kevin Morris, the "sugar daddy" who paid Hunter Biden's taxes for five years consecutively. And when the IRS and the Justice Department sought to get more information about Hunter's financial sponsor, they were waved off by the Central Intelligence Agency.

This really gets to the heart of what Burisma and Hunter Biden are all about. On the one hand, there's the personal profit side of it -- the fact that Hunter was getting personally enriched by his presence on the Ukrainian private energy company board. Just as he was, for example, in ePlata, which was a micro-financing company to provide banking services to illegal immigrants. He had an almost 10% equity stake in that, Hunter Biden did, at the same time that his father was opening up the U.S. border in order to create a flood of the market for those micro-finance transactions.

On top of that, Joe Biden then used his Justice Department to pressure banks to provide banking services to illegal immigrants. So you basically have a locked-in market for the illegal immigrant micro-financing company that Hunter was on. He was doing the same thing with China and the LNG space there. But the Burisma story, I think, activated the FBI in the 2020 election cycle. It activated the CIA. It activated the defense and intelligence spheres because nobody wants the dirty laundry to air on the international stage.

If Russia is able to hold up these disclosures and documents and forensically piece it all together -- just how corrupt the whole U.S. involvement in Ukraine was -- then that provides a powerful forum for Russian propaganda to win hearts and minds in Ukraine, in Central and Eastern Europe, and to neutrals like India or Pakistan. They can say, "This is what the U.S. has been doing this whole time. They've been using this as their personal piggy bank. Here we have the direct files from the CIA, from the Pentagon, from the State Department."

There's so much more to this, but I think that's what's motivating this need to stop -- not just pardoning Hunter, but to block a Justice Department investigation into the underlying crimes.

Patrick says

Different actors, same mask. You really think that Biden remains ageless over four years while professing 'senility of convenience' that comes and goes when required by the role?
