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.
Before Biden, the biggest group pardon by any president was Obama’s, when he pardoned 330 people on one day in 2017. Yesterday the AP ran a story headlined, “Biden commutes roughly 1,500 sentences and pardons 39 people in biggest single-day act of clemency.” They were probably all good friends, too.
It was Biden’s second record-setting pardon. The first was the breadth and scope of Hunter’s pardon, which was arguably the broadest pardon in history, competing with Ford’s pardon of former president Richard Nixon. Biden had also promised he would never ever pardon Hunter, because no one is above the law, but then blamed changing his mind on the country’s politicized justice system. But that is a side issue.
The bottom line: get ready for lots more record-breaking Biden pardons. To prepare yourself, just imagine the shocking kind of pardons that could be excreted by a president lacking moral or ethical guardrails, who can’t think clearly, and who doesn’t care about the optics, historical precedent, or whether it hurts his political party. The hopeful thought is, why would Biden bother pardoning Fauci? I mean, what’s in it for Biden?
Whatever happens, it will probably be stomach-turning. But the silver lining is all these record-setting, eye-watering Biden pardons will nicely tee up Trump’s pardons. Biden just set the new bar, pardoning fifteen hundred fellow criminals in one day.
How many J6ers remain in jail?
They are victims of the Pelosi / FBI entrapment scheme, which should itself be prosecuted.
“I will take more steps in the weeks ahead,” the statement continued, almost as a warning. “My Administration will continue reviewing clemency petitions to advance equal justice under the law, promote public safety, support rehabilitation and reentry, and provide meaningful second chances.”
Well, it turns out that one very violent offender included in the clemency spree is getting a fourth chance — and given her history, the odds of her needing a fifth chance to see the outside of a prison again are definitely nonzero.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, unnoticed in the clemency-a-thon was the commutation of the 40-year sentence of Virginia Gray for the murder of three lovers, two husbands and a boyfriend, between 1974 and 1996, in insurance fraud.
“Biden, in order to correct historical ‘injustices,’ granted clemency to those ‘convicted of non-violent crimes who were sentenced under outdated laws, policies, and practices that left them with longer sentences than if the individuals were sentenced today,’ the White House said,” according to the Free Beacon.
“Gray, who collected $165,000 from the three insurance settlements, was charged with murder by Maryland state authorities but ultimately convicted in federal court in 2002 for insurance fraud for violating what’s known as the ‘slayers rule,’ which prohibits killers from receiving inheritance and insurance proceeds from their victims’ death,” the Free Beacon reported.
The New York Times ran another explosive pardon story yesterday headlined, “Biden Commutes 37 Death Sentences Ahead of Trump’s Plan to Resume Federal Executions.” This morning — before 5am Eastern Standard Time!— Biden (if you believe that Biden was up working that early) or more likely Biden’s Autopen, either one, pardoned the country’s most dangerous, most abhorrent criminals; monstrous men and serial killers who committed unspeakable crimes. Biden cleared the bench, pardoning the entire federal death row but three.
Somebody needs to put that Autopen back in its box. The Pen —or the Cabbage, I suppose it’s possible he signed them himself— commuted the sentences of 37 men whose heinous acts were so horrifying that the New York Times did not describe or even name a single one. It offered no examples whatsoever, and to make it harder to research for ourselves, did not name the men who received presidential mercy. The Times described them only in reassuringly generic and racially fair statistics: all men, 15 white, 15 black, a token Asian and six Latin-exes, or Latin-‘X’, or however you say it. Hispanic.
Biden curiously made no public statement. He released a crack-of-dawn written statement cynically saying his heart aches for the victims’ families, but he was “guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender.” In the statement, invisible Biden explained “his conscience” guided him to thwart President Trump: “In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”
So, he pardoned the Biden 37 out of spite. He didn’t even try to hide it. It was a terrible reason.
I won’t get into the hair-raising specifics of the forgiven crimes either, but only because describing them is so troubling that I refuse to ruin your Christmas Eve Eve. Trust me: the list is a monstrous catalog of depravity and pure evil. But apparently, the list is not newsworthy; apparently, the pardoned crimes are not even worth mentioning by the sycophantic invertebrates who edit the New York Times.
Curiously though, the cowards at the Times meticulously described each of the three men who Biden did not pardon, telling readers their names, ages, race (all white), specific crime, home town, favorite last meal, ball team, eye color, and dream date location. One is a white antisemite synagogue bomber, one is a white supremacist who shot up a black church in Charleston, and the third is one of the two radical Muslim Boston Marathon bombers (white).
