Biden Team Considers Blanket Pardons Before Trump’s Promised ‘Retribution’

White House officials believe President-elect Donald J. Trump’s selection of partisan warriors for top law enforcement jobs indicates that he will pursue revenge against his perceived enemies.

President Biden’s staff is debating whether he should issue blanket pardons for a swath of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s perceived enemies to protect them from the “retribution” he has threatened after he takes office, according to people familiar with the discussion.

The idea would be to pre-emptively extend executive clemency to a list of current and former government officials for any possible crimes over a period of years, effectively short-circuiting the next president’s promised campaign of reprisals.

Hunter Biden and the ‘big guy’: corruption claims explained

The backdating of President Biden’s pardon for his son to the start of 2014 has angered Republicans because they believe the family should be examined for Hunter Biden’s lucrative job on the board of a Ukrainian gas company and several other murky business dealings.

Hunter, a Yale Law School graduate, was paid an annual salary of $1 million by Burisma when he took up his post at the Kyiv-based company in April 2014, at the time that his father was vice-president with responsibility for Ukraine. This salary was halved in 2017, when Joe Biden left office, and Hunter quit the board in 2019.

Hunter’s 2021 memoir, Beautiful Things, documents how his descent into crack-cocaine addiction coincided with his highly paid role, stating that “in the last five years alone, my two-decades-long marriage has dissolved, guns have been put in my face, and at one point I dropped clean off the grid, living in $59-a-night Super 8 motels off I-95 while scaring my family even more than myself”.

Nolte: Biden White House Conspired for Months to Mislead Public About Hunter Pardon

We now know, per two left-wing sources, the Biden White House conspired for months to mislead the public about the Hunter Biden pardon.

For years, the regime media has done everything in its malevolent power to cover up and protect Joe and Hunter Biden. The far-left New York Times and NBC News are still in cover-up mode, but buried in their lengthy reports about Hunter Biden’s blanket, 11-year pardon for any and all federal crimes, is a bombshell of truth that proves we were lied to the entire time.

Donald Trump hints at mass pardons for Jan. 6 defendants, vows to overhaul ‘Democrat-controlled DOJ’ after Biden pardons son Hunter

President-elect Donald Trump hinted at mass pardons for defendants tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot – and vowed to overhaul the “Democrat-controlled” Department of Justice after President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Sunday night.

“Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Hunter Biden’s team issues a fiery defense ahead of sentencing, possible pardon

Hunter Biden’s legal team is launching an assertive public defense of the president’s son just weeks before federal judges in Delaware and California prepare to sentence him this month, and as his father faces a diminishing window to pardon him if he chooses to do so despite previously ruling it out.

In a 52-page paper titled “The political prosecutions of Hunter Biden” released Saturday, Hunter Biden’s lawyers criticize the foundation of the investigations into their client, arguing that he was prosecuted for crimes that an ordinary citizen would not have been. Hunter Biden is likely to face further unfair threats when President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the lawyers contend.

Melania Declines White House Meeting With Jill Biden for a Startling Reason

It’s a traditional thing: during the transition from one presidential administration to another the outgoing first lady hosts the incoming one for tea and shows her around the White House. This is one of the more genteel accouterments of the peaceful transfer of power in the U.S., but it has become more fiery this time around, as Melania Trump has just declined an invitation from Jill Biden to sit down for a happy transition chat. Ungracious? Bad manners? Hateful? We will be hearing all of that and more from the left’s propaganda organs, but as is always the case, reality is different.

CHR – How Hunter Biden Laptop Got The CBS News Treatment

CHR – It’s the question I get asked the most, “What happened in October 2020?”

With new allegations this week about suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story in the last Presidential election, I can’t help but reflect on my own experience at CBS News — what I believe was a missed opportunity to rebut false claims it was Russian disinformation.

Biden’s Hollow Warnings to China Are Leading to War

“These are not dual-use capabilities,” U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell told reporters in Brussels on September 10, describing China’s aid to Russia for use against Ukraine. “These are component pieces of a very substantial effort on the part of China to help sustain, build, and diversify various elements of the Russian war machine.”

The Beijing-Moscow cooperation, Campbell argued, is “not a tactical alliance.” It is, instead, “a fundamental alignment.” The Chinese-Russian hook-up was “orchestrated at the highest levels” in the two capitals, he said.

Hunter Biden offers to change not guilty plea in tax case

LOS ANGELES — Hunter Biden intends to change his plea from not guilty to accepting a sentencing that would come from a guilty verdict in the federal tax case against him, his attorney Abbe Lowell said Thursday.

The reversal was made shortly before jury selection was expected to begin in what would have been Biden’s second trial this year. The only surviving son of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden is the first offspring of a sitting president to stand trial on criminal charges.

Judge Rules Hunter Biden Can’t Blame His Addiction, Sordid Behavior on ‘Irrelevant’ Life Tragedies in Tax Evasion Trial

Hunter Biden’s defense team in his upcoming tax evasion trial will not be allowed to introduce evidence that childhood and family trauma caused his spiral into crack cocaine and alcohol addiction, a judge has ruled. The federal district court judge, Mark Scarsi, ruled that the 1972 car crash that killed Biden’s mother and baby sister, and the death of his older brother, Beau Biden, in 2015, are “irrelevant” to the case.

House Republicans have concluded their impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden after finding that the president engaged in “impeachable conduct” to further his family’s years-long influence-peddling campaign, which racked up more than $27 million from foreign sources made to believe they could influence the operations of American government through their access to the Biden family.

DOJ and the Media Are the Real Story in Belated Biden Corruption Revelations

Here is what the New York Times doesn’t tell you.

I can’t decide which is my favorite part of the story dribbled out by the media-Democrat complex’s mothership last night.

It’s probably the part, 16 paragraphs down, in which the New York Times explains how it knew the Biden-Harris State Department was stonewalling on the production of documents showing that, while Joe Biden was vice president, his ne’er-do-well son Hunter beseeched the Obama-Biden State Department to lobby the Italian government on behalf of Burisma — the corrupt Ukrainian energy company that was lavishly paying Hunter so it could have access to Vice President Biden and his political influence.
