President Joe Biden pardoned First Son Hunter Sunday night and basically absolved him of all crimes committed between “January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024,” in effect letting him not only get off scot-free for the gun charges he was convicted of and the tax evasion charges he pleaded guilty to but any shady international deals he allegedly illicitly profited from with China and Ukrainian gas giant Burisma.
The move came after Hunter’s lawyers released a 52-page public statement Sunday that read like a “Dear Dad, please help me out, I screwed up” letter.
Now, President-elect Donald Trump is weighing in, and he’s not impressed. Justice for thee, but not for me? he seemed to be saying:

That’s a helluva question.
Although Biden repeatedly insisted that he would not pardon his son—a Pinocchio-like tale that nobody but the Corrupt Media believed—he reneged on that promise, as many of us predicted. Trump’s chief spokesman blasted the move and the corruption of justice under the Biden-Harris regime:
“The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system,” Trump’s incoming White House communications chief Steven Cheung said in a statement to Fox News.
“That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people.”
The sweeping pardon basically says, “No consequences for you, kid.”
WOW: This pardon is sweeping. Anything crimes he committed or “may have committed for an 11 year period. pic.twitter.com/b70cdxPVSP

Amazingly, both Hunter, in his 52-page letter, and Biden, in his pardon, whined about the politicization of the justice system. It shows almost inexplicable gall, considering the mentally declining president has overseen what is arguably the most politicized banana republic DOJ we have ever seen, one that relentlessly—often baselessly—hounds their political enemies.
President Biden says he will not pardon Hunter Biden and will accept the outcome, no matter what it is, of his son’s trial.
This is the way. No one is above the law.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who has been relentlessly investigating the Biden Crime Family, issued a blistering statement:
“Joe Biden has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities,” said Oversight Chairman James Comer in a statement. “Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son’s foreign business associates and that his son did nothing wrong, but he also lied when he said he would not pardon Hunter Biden.”
“The charges Hunter faced were just the tip of the iceberg in the blatant corruption that President Biden and the Biden Crime Family have lied about to the American people,” added Comer (R-Ky.), whose panel found evidence the commander in chief abused his power to perpetuate a family “influence-peddling racket” and obstructed their investigation. “It’s unfortunate that, rather than come clean about their decades of wrongdoing, President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability.”

Trump is correct! This is such a gross miscarriage of justice, and overt nepotism, as to be utterly nauseating!
