Evading legal consequences Biden’s pardon of Hunter covers a 10-year span: “No one is above the law” or ‘covering your tracks’?

Important Takeaways:

  • President Joe Biden and other elements of his administration have managed to evade the legal consequences meted out to Americans of other political stripes. Biden apparently figures his son should be afforded the same luxury.
  • After repeatedly vowing he would not do so, and just months after declaring without qualification, “No one is above the law,” Biden issued a “full and unconditional” pardon for son Hunter Biden.
  • The pardon gives Hunter Biden a pass on any crimes committed between Jan. 1, 2014, and Dec. 1, 2024. This 10-year window of clemency not only lets him off the hook for his felony conviction on gun charges and for his felony tax offenses, but also conveniently overlaps with the Bidens’ scandalous dealings with the Ukrainian company Burisma, where Hunter was appointed director in 2014, as well as with the communist state-linked organization CEFC China Energy and other questionable foreign entities.
  • The brazenness and breadth of the pardon has stunned critics and fellow travelers alike, prompting even CNN and Politico to admit its “extraordinary” and “unprecedented” nature.
  • “I am satisfied that I’m not going to do anything,” Biden told reporters in June, following Hunter’s conviction on federal gun charges. “I said I’d abide by the jury decision. I will do that. And I will not pardon him.”
  • The pardon clears Hunter Biden for all offenses against the U.S. that he has committed or may have committed, “including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted (including any that have resulted in convictions),” in the 10-year period.
