(TheConservativeTimes.org) – Millions of Americans from both sides of the aisle have been left outraged after Joe Biden decided to laugh at them by breaking his promise.
In a blatant display of unfair treatment, Joe used his executive power to issue Hunter Biden a full pardon.
See his full statement down below.
By doing so, Joe has shielded his troubled son from facing justice for federal gun and tax crimes.
This never-before-seen move contradicts Joe’s earlier promises and raises serious questions about the justice system since the Biden family is walking away without consequences.
The pardon covers a wide range of offenses Hunter committed from January 1, 2014, to December 1, 2024.
It also effectively wipes away Hunter’s convictions for illegally buying a gun while being a drug user and failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes.
The younger Biden faced up to 25 years in prison for the gun charges alone, not to mention the potential 17-year sentence and $1.35 million in fines for his tax evasion.
Joe claimed his son was “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.” He went on to say, “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.”
However, his words ignore the mountain of evidence against Hunter, including his own guilty pleas and the testimony of multiple witnesses.
The trial, which Joe now dismisses as a “miscarriage of justice,” revealed shocking details about Hunter’s out-of-control lifestyle funded by corrupt money.
Testimony from his ex-wife, ex-girlfriend and even his sister-in-law turned lover painted a picture of a man consumed by addiction and willing to exploit his family connections for personal gain.
Hunter’s own admissions of improperly classifying personal expenses as business deductions further underscore the depth of his illegal financial deeds.
“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,” Joe said.
“There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough,” he continued.
Joe’s flip-flopping on pardoning his son is particularly insulting. As recently as November 8, the White House had restated that Joe would not use presidential powers to benefit family members. In June, Joe himself explicitly ruled out a pardon for Hunter in an interview.
