Saving the Biden syndicate.

Joe Biden promised, emphatically, at least six times—all pre-election—that he would not pardon his son Hunter Biden.
His media lapdogs loudly resonated those boasts.
They claimed at the time Biden was a historic, Sir Thomas More-like protector of jurisprudence, morality, and our Constitution—sacrificing even his son on the altar of the “the rule of law”.
All again shameful lies.
These now disgraced talking heads have no more apologized than they did when they championed their “51 intelligence authorities” scam, who swore Hunter’s laptop was a product of Russian chicanery.
(No one has been more slavishly and obsequiously wrong about all the Biden pardon lies than the notorious Andrew Weissmann of the failed Mueller witch-hunt “dream team”.)
Anyone who knew the long, sordid history of Joe Biden (e.g., how he defamed the truck driver who was not culpable in his first wife’s fatal crash or was caught lying about his entire college career, and plagiarized his 1988 campaign speech), knew he was lying when he made these serial promises.
His letter excusing his pardon was worse than the lie itself.
Biden essentially pardoned himself by exempting all of Hunter’s crimes since 2014, in which Hunter had enriched the Biden crime family cartel due to ‘the big guy’s’ opportune calls and appearances with foreign crooks.
Joe knew that only a silenced Hunter would save the Biden syndicate after January 20, 2025.
Certainly, he feared and remembered how reckless Hunter could be, even when “clean”—grifting donors as a “paintbrush in the mouth” artist to show his father-president that he was capable of bringing down the entire clan.
Biden also knew of Hunter’s laptop bitter references to the “Big Guy” and Mr. “Ten-percent,” who grabbed Hunter’s grifted money and free stuff, but never appreciated Hunter’s dirty, bagman role that made them all rich.
Recall Hunter’s own lawyers at one point threatened to call in President Joe Biden and embarrass him by putting him on the stand to testify in Hunter’s tax cheating case—a threat that prompted a scared DOJ to craft its original sweetheart deal.
So, Biden was terrified of a loose-cannon, bigmouth Hunter.
After November 5, whether Joe or Harris won or lost the 2024 election, he was always going to pardon Hunter, who was always also a relapse away from bringing them all down.
Biden also continues to empower Trump (remember his earlier MAGA hat trick, his siding with Trump in Harris’s feud with Ron De Santis, his distraction hijack of Harris’s speech when he libeled half the country as “garbage”, etc.).
The result of his pardon is that we are talking now about the pardon and not the mad-dog effort to take down Kash Patel.
The sanctimonious “rule of law” and “expert class” arguments of the discredited Left used to attack Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK, Jr. are now rendered a joke.
The fake 2024 leftwing polls, the nonexistent Harris “momentum”, the $2 billion squandered and unaudited Harris campaign and PAC money, and the ankle-biting blame game among Harris versus Biden apparatchiks have all discredited both the Left and the media.
And now Biden has hammered in the coffin nails. The Internet is awash in clips of almost every leftwing pundit once singing Biden’s praises for not pardoning his son—followed by either their silence or even more pathetic rationalizations of his pardon.
A final note.
Biden wrote that the IRS never seeks criminal charges against tax cheats who eventually pay up and claim addiction.
That too is yet another lie.
Claiming drug-crazed befuddlement has never been a legitimate exemption from tax fraud charges or jail time, especially when one is otherwise clear-headed enough at the time to earn well over an unreported $1 million a year.
Moreover, Hunter had already been excused from much earlier tax delinquency now beyond the statute of limitations.
Also tax-exempt was the entire Biden family. All of them apparently never paid full income taxes on their illicit and hidden incomes (remember the fake claim of “loan repayment” on Jim’s family syndicate disbursement check to Joe?).
And to pay some of his back taxes, Hunter had his attorney pay them as a “loan”—but apparently without a formal agreement, interest payments, or evidence Hunter ever paid him back, suggesting it was de facto a tax-free gift?
The Biden profits from selling out their country did not all go up Hunter’s nose or to his women.
Three generations of Bidens lived lifestyles impossible without foreign money income, predicated on Joe putting his own nation’s interest subservient to those of his foreign paymasters.
The schemes to hide Joe Biden’s long-standing dementia, the coup that nullified 14-million primary voters and crowned the Harris mediocrity, the lies to protect the Biden crime syndicate, and the final pardon will cement Joe Biden’s reputation not just as the most incompetent but also as the most corrupt and dishonest president in U.S. history.
