Hunter Biden Pardoned

[Renauda]

@George-K

You're talking about Obama, who ordered an extra-judical assassination of a US citizen? He wasn't indicted or convicted either.

For all intents and purposes, I seem to think that Al-Awlaki had already de facto renounced his US citizenship and declared war against the US via his terrorist acts against American assets and citizens. He was, in fact, quite proud of his terrorist actions and made no attempt to conceal his compliance in their execution. He was most vile and Obama rightly signed off on having him whacked with extreme prejudice. His progeny was merely collateral damage. Good riddance to the lot of them.

Obama did what any good head of state would have done under the circumstances.

Interesting take.

I hope somebody is keeping track. All of this will have to be repaid during the Trump admin, at 1.4x the democracy destruction power. That's at current exchange rates. They may change.

JONATHAN TURLEY: "President Biden's decision to use his presidential powers on Sunday to pardon his own son will be a decision that lives in infamy in presidential politics. It is not just that the president used his constitutional powers to benefit his family. It is because the action culminates years of lying to the public about his knowledge and intentions in the influence-peddling scandal surrounding his family. Even among past controversies about the use of this pardon power, Biden has cemented his legacy for many, not as the commander in chief, but as the liar in chief. "

It’s the third pardon of a family member this century.

I wonder what he had to say about Jared’s dad.

Move over, Jimmy. There's a new low in town.

[Horace]

The year the pardon goes back to, 2014, is when Hunter was hired by the Ukrainian company. So on the nose.

[kluurs]

Any guess as to why now - other than it is before sentencing? Would there have been a more advantageous date?

[jon-nyc]

Should have put it out Wednesday to give families something else to argue about at Thanksgiving.

[jon-nyc]

He only had a four week window between Election Day and sentencing.

[Copper]

He was waiting in case Hunter committed more crimes.

Farthest reaching pardon since Ford pardoned Nixon.

[George K]

@Jolly said in Hunter Biden Pardoned:

Farthest reaching pardon since Ford pardoned Nixon.

Yeah. The Nixon pardon included "whatever else he might have done."

I'd submit this is a bigger reach, because it extends to 6 years before POTATUS took office. He's covering his own ass.

What's the over/under for Jim getting pardoned, preemptively? For that matter, can you even pardon someone who's not been convicted or indicted?

[Jolly]

Well, according to the Big Guy, Hunter was targeted. Politically targeted for prosecution.

Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt.

Bwhahahahahahahahahaha!!!

'As you all know, we can't prosecute retards'

[George K]

Here's an interesting thought I came across.

If Hunter Biden has been pardoned, he has immunity from prosecution for all those (alleged) crimes he committed 2014-2024.

You know what you lose when you're immune from prosecution?

Your 5th amendment right to remain silent.

"Subpoena, it's a beautiful thing."

And if he "declines," Bannonize him.

[jon-nyc]

He doesn’t lose his right to not remember anything more than his name and birthdate.
