Flash, bam, alakazam — a pardon dropped out of an autumnal, orange-colored sky, as surreal as a Nat King Cole refrain. With a sweep of his pen, Joe Biden erased his son’s slate, leaving decades of potential wrongdoing wiped clean as if by magic.
This was no ordinary pardon. It stretched back conveniently to just before Hunter Biden joined the Burisma board and extended through December 1, 2024 — a timeline so broad that even Hunter might have struggled to list all the offenses it covered.
The Legacy Media’s Complicity
The legacy media gleefully played its part in selling this debacle. For months, they parroted Biden’s claims that he would never pardon his son. Anchors and pundits praised the president’s supposed integrity, spinning tales of a leader torn between family loyalty and his duty to justice. Yet, as the DOJ prepared this sweeping pardon, these same outlets did not ask why Biden’s words didn’t match his administration’s actions.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the legacy media to investigate how long this plan had been in motion. To them, digging into Biden’s actions would mean veering off-script from their endless critiques of Trump’s Cabinet nominees. Why tackle something difficult when they can just stay in their comfort zone of partisan spin?

Merrick Garland’s DOJ: Biden Family Legal Services
And then there is Merrick Garland, who ran the Department of Justice like a family law firm for the Bidens. Garland refused to appoint a genuinely independent special counsel team in this case, instead staffing it with DOJ employees, ensuring the administration controlled the narrative. His DOJ mishandled Hunter’s legal troubles for years, from offering a sweetheart plea deal to standing by as this sweeping pardon was issued. According to The New York Times, Hunter’s case wouldn’t even qualify for a pardon under normal DOJ protocols.
DOJ guidelines require that pardon applicants demonstrate rehabilitation, show acceptance of responsibility, and have completed their sentence — standards Hunter could not possibly meet, given his ongoing legal woes and unresolved investigations. Yet Garland didn’t just bend the rules; he let them snap entirely to accommodate the president’s son.
This wasn’t just incompetence. Garland worked deliberately to protect the president’s family at all costs. His refusal to allow the DOJ to operate independently destroyed public trust in the justice system. Mr. Garland undoubtedly greenlit this sweeping pardon, for if he didn’t, he would resign immediately in protest.
Thankfully, Garland’s tenure at the DOJ will end on January 20 of next year, and not a moment too soon. His departure will finally close the chapter of a justice system bending to the will of the Biden family.
A Chilling Message for America
Hunter Biden’s slate may now appear clean, but this pardon doesn’t erase his political liabilities. He can no longer plead the Fifth if called to testify before Congress, and Garland’s departure removes the safety net shielding him from subpoenas or charges of lying under oath. Joe Biden may think he has closed this chapter, but all he has done is open a new one. Congress and the public will write the next pages, and they won’t go easy.

The Biden family may believe they’ve insulated themselves from accountability, but this pardon reeks of desperation. The orange-colored sky may have delivered a pardon, but the storm clouds gathering on the horizon suggest that this story is far from over.
Commentary:
Let's focus on reality. The pardon only applies to federal crimes. First of all, the pardon only applies to a critical time period. Future crimes, in perpetuity may not be covered. Also, any state laws violated are not covered. Plenty of opportunities to put Hunter in jail.
Hunter is an out and out addict and user of Cocaine, Crack and a slew of designer drugs to include fentanyl.
It is almost certain that he will commit additional crimes involving drugs, etc., etc. And when he does, Kash will be there to nab him.
A Special Investigator (not prosecutor) could be appointed to investigate ALL the claims against the Biden family, helped along by the computer, and Hunter would have to answer on pain of imprisonment for contempt. If he can be shown to be lying, he can be prosecuted for perjury, as the pardon cannot cover offenses not yet committed at the time of the pardon.
Hunter's pardon ends the investigations by the DoJ and FBI. Unless Garland and Wray destroy that evidence Congress will have access and will use it against the associates that have not been charge as of yet.
Because of the pardon Hunter cannot hide behind the fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress.
Seems that Joey B,. has been bailing out his degenerate 54 year old son his whole life, using the family name, his money and connections.
It's about time Hunter faces some consequences, no wonder he believes he can do whatever he wants.
