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.
Jean-Pierre said as far back as July to Fox News reporter Mark Meredith that no pardon would happen.
At the time, the question was hypothetical, but when Hunter was indicted a few weeks later, she doubled down.
“So I’ve answered this question before,” Jean-Pierre responded.
“It was asked of me not too long ago — a couple of weeks ago — and I was very clear, and I said no.” ...
Hunter was set up on those charges to get the heat off his dad’s alleged bribery and payoffs from foreign entities.
He was clearly told to let the process play out and that he’d get pardoned at some point.
After all, Hunter knows exactly what his dad did, and could spill the beans if his father let him hang out to dry.
That issue is moot because there is neither a Biden nor a Hunter. We'll probably watch this thing dry up and blow away because it disposes of the masks and requires no further actions. Like the Durham big nothing fiasco, I would imagine lawyers behinds the scene will be told to drop it.
Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson claimed Friday on his podcast that Hunter Biden was “blackmailing” President Joe Biden with his past crimes and using it as leverage for a potential pardon.
Despite Biden and his staff repeatedly insisting that Hunter would not be pardoned for his tax fraud and felony gun charges, the president announced Sunday his decision to clear Hunter’s record. On “The Victor Davis Hanson Show,” the senior fellow suggested that Hunter, angry at being seen as the “bad seed” of his family, allegedly blackmailed Biden by threatening to testify against the family.
“There is a sickness in Hunter Biden vis-a-vis his father. I mentioned that if one reads carefully the laptop communications, there’s an anger. He is not Beau Biden. He’s the bad seed, the prodigal son,” Hanson said. “He feels that he cooked up the entire shakedown operation. He is the dirty bag man. He is Hunter. Remember he says to his cousin, ‘They always have me do stuff. Nobody ever, I’m the one making this family. If I was like dad, I’d charge everybody.’ So he had to do the dirty work.”
Lol, why not? He can't be prosecuted.
