It was also revealed that months of denying this would happen were pure lies, as the pardon had been in the works for months.

In short, it couldn’t be any more obvious that Hunter was simply the Biden family bag-man. As X user @therealZNO notes:

In 2013-2014, the United States orchestrated a violent coup that toppled Ukraine’s democratically elected government, which led to the ousting of President Yanukovych.

Events that followed:

> April 16, 2014: VP Biden meets with Devon Archer at the White House.
> April 21, 2014: VP Biden visits Ukraine and becomes U.S. policy face.
> April 22, 2014: Archer joins Burisma’s board.
> April 28, 2014: British officials seized $23M from Burisma’s owner.
> May 12, 2014: Hunter Biden joins Burisma’s board, and both were paid millions.

In 2019, an investigation revealed that the Obama administration knew Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board was problematic and interfered with U.S. policy in Ukraine.

The investigation also uncovered approved transactions involving the Obama administration which allowed a Chinese government-owned company and an investment firm with Chinese ties to acquire Henniges, a U.S. military technology firm—Bohai Harvest RST (BHR)—linked to Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz.

This is barely the tip of the iceberg.

It's absolutely staggering the millions in taxpayer dollars sent to Ukraine because of the Biden family's personal money laundering loyalty over his crackhead son.

And while the right is saying ‘I told you so, assholes…’, the left, and never-Trump ‘conservatives’ alike, are having an internal meltdown over Hunter’s pardon. Many are opining that this sets a devastating precedent in that Trump can essentially pardon anyone he wants. Others are defending the pardon – suggesting that the incoming Trump administration would go after Hunter (You mean, for the obvious family corruption?).

Smart person texts me: “Joe Biden has just removed the issue of pardons from the political arena for the next four years and Trump probably once again can’t believe his own dumb fucking luck at this point”

Sadly, I think he’s right.

Former Obama AG Eric Holder defended the pardon, suggesting that Hunter didn’t really do anything all that bad (and Mike Cernovich with a killer response).

Hunter Biden is a lawyer. He used his advanced education to create shell corps to evade reporting requirements to the IRS. That’s a sentencing enhancement. Official reports show he’d do 5-10 years. I have the receipts. https://t.co/FZbvibgpMd

The Never-Trump conservatives over at The Bulwark defended the pardon (while their CEO said the opposite on X).

These people are unbelievable!

Put aside the president, the politics and the pardon, this is simply put -a father who deeply loves, cares for, and is forgiving of his son. https://t.co/2qRRtAu29V

The bottom line is that Democrats have lied through the last four years with impunity (as tends to happen).

https://twitter.com/TheTonus/status/1863427264102154674

Or as X user @BucMon21 puts it, the Biden family is “Corrupt to the core.” (and that doesn’t even cover Beau Biden keeping a DuPont heir out of prison for raping his own toddler).

And of course, The View is defending Hunter:

https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1863622915616616742

At least the Breakfast Club came correct:

https://twitter.com/JasonJournoDC/status/1863573167245271474

During the 2024 election the Democrats ran their campaign on two narrative pillars – First, the idea that progressives are the guardians of “democracy” in the face of some conservative conspiracy to undermine the will of the people. Second, that they are the party with respect for the rule of law while conservatives are lawless barbarians. Both narratives were utter nonsense and the opposite is generally true, but this kind of rhetorical spin is not really meant to convince the people that oppose Democrats. Rather, it’s meant to convince their devout electoral base and keep those lemmings in line with the message.

The claim that Democrats are the anointed purveyors of democracy has been thoroughly debunked after Donald Trump won the presidency with the electoral college and the popular vote. In light of this fact, leftist commentators and the media have decided that the loss was not due to their own failings, but the fault of “stupid voters” that just don’t understand how important the progressive ideology is. Truly, these are the kinds of people that respect the democratic process…

The second claim, that Democrats are models of civic duty with a deep regard for the rule of law, was largely based on a Trump vs Biden legal woes comparison. The political left argued that Joe’s handling of his son Hunter Biden’s federal charges and degenerate lifestyle was fair and just because he had not abused his position as president to get his family out of trouble. This was specifically mentioned in reference to Trump’s intention to pardon J6 prisoners.

Biden, they said, would never exploit the presidency to protect convicted criminals for personal gain, even if one of those criminals was his own son. He’s just too honorable.

Leap ahead a few months and suddenly all those same Dems are silent, or, they are defending the blanket pardon Biden just pushed forward for Hunter. As a reminder, let’s take a look back at the self righteous Democrat finger wagging and self delusion that led up to this embarrassing moment:

https://twitter.com/DogRightGirl/status/1863567270921798142

Set aside the fact that the Biden Administration actively weaponized the legal apparatus to take down a political opponent using fabricated charges – The reality that Joe Biden gave his son a pardon that reaches all the way back to 2014 indicates a personal knowledge of Hunter’s criminal dealings over the course of a decade. Likely, this knowledge comes from Joe Biden’s involvement in those same dealings. At the very least he used his position within government to trade for benefits and used his son as a proxy.

https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1863582754857730442

It’s very hard now for Democrats to pretend like they’re the party of legal integrity. When it comes down to progressive leaders or their family actually facing consequences for their actions, the law goes straight out the window.

And of course, Jim Biden’s pardon is coming next:

With Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter, or Sunday, MTG took the opportunity to go off on the President. She also warned about the future; having a President with nothing to lose can be a very dangerous time for America.

Here’s her post on 𝕏:

The FBI didn’t raid Hunter Biden’s bedroom, they raided Barron’s bedroom.

Just think about that.

That’s how morally corrupt all of these people are.

Joe did not pardon Hunter because he is a father who loved his son like the mockingbird media and Democrat liars are saying.

Joe pardoned Hunter all the way back to 2014 when Hunter started bio labs in Ukraine, started with Burisma, and began money laundering through dozens of LLC shell companies through business deals in many foreign countries including China.

Hunter is not just Joe’s son, he is his business partner, and Hunter sold his Dad’s power and influence for millions while Joe was VP and beyond.

That’s why the wide sweeping pardon from 2014 to now.

It covers VP to 4 yrs running for president to 4 yrs being president – 11 years of all kinds of crimes.

But the bigger crimes are all the people in the FBI, DOJ, State Department, CIA, and other agencies that all knew about the Biden family corrupt business and crimes yet stayed quiet, provided cover, lied about it all, but instead went after their political enemies.

The 51 intel officials who signed their name to a lie that Hunter’s laptop, with all the evidence, wasn’t real.

They all abused their power in order to create the illusion that Trump, not Biden, was the criminal.

All of these people lying today saying “Joe is a father who loves his son” are clinging to the lies and will gladly abuse power and weaponize the government against all of us if they are ever in charge again.

How many more pardons are coming for Biden family members and others?

It’s a long time to Jan 20th.

The FBI didn’t raid Hunter Biden’s bedroom, they raided Barron’s bedroom.

Just think about that.

That’s how morally corrupt all of these people are.

Nothing she said was wrong.

Unfortunately for him, he’s also a dedicated partisan hack who has fully embraced his role as constant Democrat cheerleader, defender, and propagandist. His kind is going out of style very quickly and he took a personal blow to his credibility with the resurfacing of a proclamation he made on 𝕏:

people who insist Biden will pardon Hunter after specifically ruling it out are telling on themselves

they can’t imagine someone acting on principle and keeping his word

Many journalists declared their belief that Joe Biden would not pardon his son, but Harwood took it a few notches higher by inserting a backhanded insults against Donald Trump and his supporters.

A community note was added to his original post from June:

President Biden did pardon his son Hunter, with a blanket pardon covering nearly 11 years of potential federal crimes, as President Biden’s term neared its conclusion.

Thankfully, legacy media is dying. “We are the media now,” as Elon Musk often says. It’s true and it couldn’t have happened at a more important time in American history.

Original post.

Herridge was tasked with probing the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, which allegedly contained evidence of business dealings tied to his father, then-presidential candidate Joe Biden. She provided CBS executives with evidence, including a $1 million retainer from a Chinese energy firm, but says her findings were ignored. The investigation, which could have revealed potentially damaging information, never aired as planned.

According to Herridge, while she received support from some corners of CBS, the pushback from key executives, including Washington bureau chief Mark Lima and CBS News president Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews, hindered her efforts. She was even told not to pursue certain aspects of the story, including emails potentially involving President Biden, due to the time-consuming nature of verifying the content.

The journalist expressed frustration over what she saw as a disconnect between the network’s top executives, who supported her work, and the newsroom, where her reporting was often blocked. She suggested that some senior CBS News executives felt empowered to ignore directives from Cheeks, who had been vocal about the importance of covering the story.

In addition to the internal pushback, Herridge’s career at CBS came to an abrupt end after she was laid off in early 2024. She noted the timing of her termination, which followed her coverage of a report critical of President Biden. Herridge also claimed that CBS seized her files upon her departure, though they were eventually returned after union pressure. […]
