Sleepy Joe just pardoned Hunter. And the Demoncrats can't seem to figure out why they lost the senate and the presidency. 50 days more and then the swamp cleaning begins!
did anyone expect a father to do anything different ?
well I was reading somewhere IF Hunter is called to testify in a trial now, he cannot plead the 5th, don't know if that's true or not.
Prosecutors stated that bank records from between 2016 and 2019 show that Hunter Biden earned $7 million from his work with Ukrainian-based Burisma Holdings and other firms. Political opponents of former Vice President Biden alleged potential conflicts of interest, particularly after Tony Bobulinski accused Biden of benefiting from his son’s business dealings in Ukraine while he was vice president.
The House voted against impeaching Biden in September 2023 after the GOP led an inquiry into Bobulinski’s claims.
Biden said on Dec. 1 it is his view that the charges against his son were the result of the actions of his political opponents in Congress in order to attack him and deter Americans from supporting him in the 2020 election.
The president said that the carefully negotiated plea deal for his son’s tax fraud case had ultimately failed due to political pressure from his opponents on the legal process.
“Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases,” he said in the statement announcing the pardon.
“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,” Biden said. “Enough is enough.”
Biden added, “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.”
