It is a fact, perhaps missed by some of you, that Rep. James Comer’s House Oversight Committee just last week issued criminal referrals on James Biden (“Joe’s” brother) and First Son Hunter. Wait-a-minute, was not Hunter already pardoned for Gawd-knows how many misdeeds dating back to 2014, and (supposedly) preemptively for any alleged crimes to come ever hereafter? Part B of that may yet have to be adjudicated. A pardon is not intended to be a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Will some version of Biden Actor be required to testify?
As RadarOnline.com was among the first to report, Biden came under heavy scrutiny when his trouble-magnet son Hunter Biden, 55, notoriously cashed in on his dad's VP position by accepting a series of lucrative positions around the world, including a $1 million-a-year job on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian oil and gas firm – despite having no prior experience in the field.
Notably, Hunter took the Burisma gig on May 12, 2014 – less than three months after Joe was named the Barack Obama administration's point person for U.S.-Ukraine relations and policy.
The recently unearthed report included the bombshell revelation that Ukrainian officials viewed the Biden family's ties to allegedly sketchy business practices in the Eastern European nation "as evidence of a double-standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power."
But Joe, now 82, moved quickly to bury the humiliating CIA memo, sources said, after it was included in a daily briefing on February 16, 2015.
According to an email that was also made public by Ratcliffe, the U.S. official who briefed Joe on the Ukrainians' reaction to his 2015 visit then emailed the CIA saying the VP would "strongly prefer" the critical memo not be circulated.
"Based on the Office of the Vice President's preference, the information was never shared outside of the CIA," according to an agency official.

“I am hereby canceling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally,” Trump posted to Truth Social yesterday in his usual style. “Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury,” Trump added.
It might be a tad over-enthusiastic. The first one is easy: Trump can legally override any Biden executive order. But it is unclear that Trump can legally override pardons or clemency decisions after they’ve been made. It will require some creative legal work to make that happen, but I can’t rule it out; no president was ever dumb enough to try this before, so it has never been tested. Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi said her team was “reviewing the Biden administration’s reported use of autopen for pardons.” We’ll see.
