The cover-up has never really been about Hunter Biden's actions. It was, is, and forever will be about covering up President Joe Biden's actions
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — “For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth,” said President Biden – who has so often used the phase "I give you my word as a Biden' over the years – while issuing one of the most sweeping pardons in presidential history.
“They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: 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.”
The president further claimed that “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," – allegations that have previously raised by Hunter Biden’s lawyers, and resoundingly rejected by two Federal Judges.
The judge who oversaw Hunter's gun trial in Delaware concluded that Hunter Biden’s theory of a selective prosecution was “nonsensical under the facts here.”
The justice system that was weaponized against Donald Trump, was for Joe Biden and his son used as their protection. And, that means particularly for Joe Biden.
Every president hands out pardons at the end of his time in office – but not like this.
Joe Biden pardoned his son before he was even sentenced.
And when Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter on Sunday night, something else we were assured would never happen – once again – happened.
The pardon wasn’t just "announced" – it was issued quietly in a White House press release at the end of the biggest travel weekend of the year and at the start of the Christmas Season, as Biden boarded Air Force One for a 3-day trip to Angola, Africa, where he handed the country $1 billion dollars in aid as American Citizens in North Carolina are still fighting for the lives and recovering from Hurricane Helene.
The "announcement" came well after virtual every American had tuned out anything political.
The government weaponized the justice system to go after Donald Trump, but looked the other way at Hunter’s influence peddling,
The president has not just gifted his son with a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card for his gun charge, he has not just wiped the slate clean for his tax code violations, the Presidential "Full and Unconditional" Pardon also applies to Hunter’s most egregious offense: his well-documented efforts of peddling access to his dad when Biden was vice president – as well as to foreign interests ranging from a Chinese state-run bank to a well-heeled Kazakhstan oligarch.Yet after the Joe Biden’s about-face, some still refused to acknowledge Biden’s dishonesty.
But outgoing Democrat Congressman Dean Phillips spoke for many Americans when he posted on X:
President Biden issued one of the most sweeping pardons in presidential history for offenses his son "has committed or may have committed or taken part in" over an 11-year stretch – going all the way back to when then-Vice President Joe Bide and his offspring-bagman were playing footsie with Vladimir Putin's (now since deposed) cronies in Kyiv.
But on Tuesday, the Federal Judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s tax trial in California weighed in – and it was ugly for the president. Federal Judge Mark C. Scarsi is done with with the cover-up, and with their excuses.
In an order Tuesday evening, Judge Scarsi agreed to end the tax-related criminal proceedings against Hunter Biden in Los Angeles, but only after delivering a series of sharp rebukes to the president:
"The President asserts that Mr. Biden 'was treated differently' from others 'who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions,' implying that Mr. Biden was among those individuals who untimely paid taxes due to addiction.
"But he is not.
"In his pretrial filings, Mr. Biden represented that he 'was severely addicted to alcohol and drugs through May 2019.' Upon pleading guilty to the charges in this case, Mr. Biden admitted that he engaged in tax evasion after this period of addiction by wrongfully deducting as business expenses items he knew were personal expenses, including luxury clothing, escort services, and his daughter's law school tuition.
"Mr. Biden admitted that he 'had sufficient funds available to him to pay some or all of his outstanding taxes when they were due,' but that he did not make payments toward his tax liabilities even 'well after he had regained his sobriety,' instead electing to 'spen[d] large sums to maintain his lifestyle' in 2020."
The president’s pardon statement neglected to mention Hunter Biden’s spending some $500,000 on “escort services.”
Judge Scarsi also argued that Biden's claim that Hunter was "singled out" because he's the president's son is specious – because "the President's own Attorney General and Department of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charges."
Even Joe Biden’s own Justice Department didn’t agree with that.
"The President’s own Attorney General and Department of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charges,” wrote Scarsi in his court order.
"In the President's estimation," Scarsi concluded, "this legion of federal civil servants, the undersigned included, are unreasonable people."
“But two federal judges expressly rejected Mr. Biden’s arguments that the Government prosecuted Mr. Biden because of his familial relation to the President,” Scarsi wrote.
Judge Scarsi continued, writing:
"On December 1, 2024, Defendant Robert Hunter Biden provided notice that Joseph R. Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, issued a full and unconditional pardon to Mr. Biden.
"Rather than providing a true and correct copy of the pardon with the notice, Mr. Biden provided a hyperlink to a White House press release presenting a statement by the President regarding the pardon and the purported text of the pardon."
"A press release is not a pardon,” Judge Scarsi wrote.
“The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States… but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history.”
Judge Scarsi may have been denied the opportunity to serve up justice, but he certainly didn't take it lying down – and went out swinging.
President Biden’s pardon has been savaged by both Republican AND Democrat politicians alike since Sunday, and has even been attacked by some big-name Democrat Party Leaders as a “bad precedent that could be abused.”
“This wasn’t a politically-motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers,” Stanton wrote on X. Scarsi noted that the official pardon language stated that it covered offenses Hunter “has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024 …” But considering the pardon was issued on Dec. 1, that would technically mean Hunter had a pass to keep on committing crimes until midnight – which wouldn’t be constitutional.
In legal terms, “the warrant may be read to apply prospectively to conduct that had not yet occurred at the time of its execution, exceeding the scope of the pardon power,” Scarsi wrote.
Even CNN noted that the Jan. 1, 2014 start date was not an arbitrary one; it is specifically designed to cover the entirety of Hunter Biden's time serving on the board of the infamous Ukrainian energy enterprise, Burisma.
Joe Biden pardoned his son not just for the crimes he’s already pled guilty to, but most importantly, to cover any crimes he might have committed since 2014 – which not-so-coincidentally, happen to be the ones Joe Biden was likely involved in.
The years long cover-up never really has been about Hunter Biden and his actions.
It was, is, and forever will be about covering up the actions for President Joe Biden.
