Tiff,
Biden only pardoned Hunter to protect his whole family. 

Right now, there are a lot of pundits gasping at the presidential pardon for Hunter Biden. Those on the left claim this will protect the president’s son from partisan lawfare once Trump takes office. On the other hand, the right is claiming it’s hypocrisy because it involves Joe’s son, and also because Joe promised America he wouldn’t pardon Hunter. There are shades of truth to both arguments, but the truth is far worse. As you will see, the pardon that was issued was to protect Joseph R. Biden and his entire family, not just Hunter Biden.

Let’s begin with the pardon itself. According to Politico, a sweeping pardon such as the one Joe Biden issued yesterday for Hunter hasn’t been done since President Gerald Ford pardoned former president Richard Nixon more than 50 years ago. Normally, a pardon is issued for specific dates and offenses, not for crimes that may have been committed. In fact, Hunter’s pardon goes beyond even Nixon’s pardon in that it also covers any crimes that Hunter took part in, even if he didn’t commit the crime. So, the pardon Joe Biden issued is unlike any other pardon issued in modern history.

Now Democrats are hailing this sweeping pardon as the best thing since sliced bread because they say Republicans have been on a partisan warpath to convict Hunter for years. On this point, it must be made clear that Hunter Biden’s tax issues and the infamous laptop were both of his own doing. Hunter provided all of the fuel necessary for Republicans to fan the fire of justice. The tax violations, though felonies, were not Hunter’s most daunting legal woes. The greatest legal weight lifted off of Hunter was the prospect of being charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
According to Newsweek, only two presidents have ever pardoned an immediate family member: Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Until yesterday, it had only happened once in America’s history: Clinton pardoned his younger half-brother, Roger Clinton. Joe Biden repeatedly assured the American public that he would not pardon his son, Hunter. Given this, is there any wonder why Republicans are denouncing this Hunter Biden pardon as further proof that the legal system is weighted completely in favor of Democrats?
Other people are exclaiming in posts on social media that the Hunter Biden pardon was an act of compassion from a caring father to a son and that any loving father would have done the same. While that might hold a modicum of truth, the real reason for a pardon that spans a decade and is the most vague and wide ever issued in America’s history is to protect the Biden Crime Syndicate.

After president-elect Trump announced he was nominating Kash Patel for the FBI Director position, President Biden leaped into action and issued the most forgiving pardon ever the very next day. Kash Patel has been a critic of the soft-glove treatment Biden’s son has received by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the past decade. The IRS and DOJ purposefully dragged their feet in the Hunter Biden investigations to let potential charges pass the statute of limitations and offered the son an unheard-of deal to escape his tax and gun charges, which a federal judge rightfully scuttled.

As many legal experts have suggested in recent years, the most damaging charges that could have been brought against Hunter Biden would have been violations of FARA. As FBI Director, Kash Patel would have immediately restarted the investigation of Hunter for violations of FARA. Had this gone to court, any of the Biden family members who received money from foreign government principals would have also faced potential charges. More than $30 million was paid by foreign actors to the Biden Crime Syndicate over the last decade. A wide net of FARA violations could have potentially caught many of the Biden family members in serious legal jeopardy.

Joe Biden might have issued the first-of-its-kind pardon to Hunter out of compassion, but there is no question it will shut down all of the Congressional investigations and potential FBI investigations of the Biden Crime Syndicate.
