He couldn’t be serious with this
statement. It’s a shameful explanation, an exercise in gaslighting, and a
wad of phlegm spit simultaneously in the face of voters. It’s a ‘hawk
tuah’ moment that is beyond comprehension. The pardon of Hunter Biden
has self-immolated liberal America in more ways than one. For starters,
it shows what happens when you try to take the moral high ground and
exude a snobbish attitude as such: you become Icarus, soaring too close
to the sun.
If Biden didn't want Hunter to do jail time for the tax & gun convictions, he could just have commuted his sentences.
He went further for a 10-year immunity bath because there's more to hide.
“I’m
pardoning my son because he was targeted as the son of the president.
And also the pardon is retroactive to seven years before I took office.”

It's
bad that the president pardoned his son when he and his staff have said
repeatedly and in no uncertain terms that this wouldn’t be an option.
To issue an explainer is just another way to insult the voters’
intelligence, a move that partially cost Democrats the 2024 election. Tens
of millions were struggling, and when they voiced those concerns, they
were mocked and dismissed by Joe Biden, the Democrats, and the media,
who all adopted a ‘look at this chart; you’re wrong’ response. It’s no different here:
I
mean the gaslighting and dishonesty here. Hunter was nearly let
completely off the hook with an unheard of plea deal. Whistleblowers
(who Congressional investigators simply gave a platform under oath) and a
judge who was paying attention noticed the special treatment and
that’s… pic.twitter.com/pRbtXurphg

They impeached Trump because the Bidens never did anything wrong and how dare anyone even ask about it

Today,
I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said
I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making,
and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and
unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime,
multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are
almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they
filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of
serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and
penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear
that Hunter was treated differently.
The charges in his cases
came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress
instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully
negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled
in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress
taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the
plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of
Hunter’s cases.
No reasonable person who looks at the facts of
Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled
out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an
effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even
in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying
to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to
believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.
For my entire career
I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the
truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the
justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw
politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of
justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense
in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father
and a President would come to this decision.
I will follow the law until that chaos engulfs my family through their own fault. In
other words, rules for thee but not for me. This act is Clinton-esque
regarding abiding by a separate set of rules. To that end, it paves the
way for President-elect Donald J. Trump to pardon himself, every January
6 defendant, and host of other people, thanks to Biden.

So,
while this chapter of the Biden legal saga reaches an ignominious end,
let’s declare that we’ve known for years: Hunter Biden is a criminal and
a disgrace and was guilty of all charges lobbed against him.
