Yea, without a doubt, this is the topic de jour, perhaps for the week. In the waning days of the Biden administration, Joe Biden went against his very own words and pardoned his son, Hunter. How many times did we have to hear Biden and his White House mouthpiece, Karinne Jean-Pierre, state that “no one is above the law?” Well, that is true unless you are aligned with the progressive socialist left. And what is even more disconcerting is the comprehensive nature of this pardon…it covers anything over the past 10 years. And to witness Joe Biden doing this and then hopping on a plane to Angola.
Just to remind everyone, Hunter Biden, who thought he would get some sugar plea deal, was found guilty of federal gun charges and nine counts of tax evasion. These are all felony offenses, and you just have to wonder, what precedent does this establish for all those for whom the law does apply? A full and unconditional pardon? This was not about any political issues; these were federal felony charges. As well, how can Joe Biden deliver a pardon for anything over the past decade? Yeah, you can firmly understand why the Democrats are against someone like Kash Patel being the Director of the FBI.
