For many, Hunter Biden’s pardon was a nakedly political betrayal. However, there could be a price to pay for the President and his family.
From Breitbart. Disillusioned Americans across the nation are still expressing their distaste at President Joe Biden’s granting a universal pardon to his convicted criminal son, Hunter, but after separating fact from fiction, there are potential downsides for the president and his family from the Hunter Biden pardon and an uncertain answer to how this power will be used in the future.

Understanding this growing scandal of Biden Family corruption requires understanding Hunter’s crimes as well as how presidential pardons work and how they don’t. Media stories have been hit-or-miss in explaining this scandal and have not yet discussed how this pardon could actually blow the doors open on every questionable event that involves anyone with the last name “Biden.”
Hunter’s sordid story reeks of corruption, political favoritism, and the worst practices of the Deep State. Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss tried to sneak in a sweetheart plea deal to get Hunter out of many of his self-inflicted legal woes. …
But Judge Maryellen Noreika – also appointed by Trump – smelled a rat, finding language buried in a secondary document that a judge often does not see that would close the door on any additional criminal charges, and she blew the lid off the whole scheme. …
Humiliated, Weiss then turned on a dime, bringing real charges against Hunter and taking them to trial. Even so, Weiss charged Hunter only with crimes that had no connection to President Biden. …
Nonetheless, federal prosecutors pursued Hunter on these non-Joe crimes, and those prosecutors nailed him. Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced this month on two separate crimes.
First, he lied when he purchased a gun. When a person buys a firearm at a gun store he must fill out Form 4473 issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which among other things asks about using illegal drugs. It’s a felony to lie on that form, and Hunter – who is a graduate of Yale Law School – knows better and did so.
Second, he was charged with tax evasion, likewise scheduled for sentencing this month. …
That explains the timing of Hunter’s pardon. Issuing it on December 1 instead of January 19 or the morning of January 20 was necessary to keep the hammer from falling on Hunter. Joe could not wait until he was heading out the door next month.
But the wording of the pardon also raises eyebrows, covering any crimes that Hunter might have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024 – almost 11 years. That’s a long time. Federal law at 18 U.S.C. § 3282 provides that the statute of limitations – meaning the deadline – to bring federal charges is limited to five years unless a specific criminal law specifies a different number of years. The timeframe in the pardon is very unusual in part because of this five-year default rule, leading one to question why Joe would want to cover Hunter for so many years.
It is worth noting that Hunter joined the board of Barisma Holdings – the infamous Ukrainian energy company – in April 2014. … This pardon would cover that entire period, prompting questions of what sort of backdoor dealings might have been going on. …
But there are some limits to presidential pardons, and more than one member of the Biden family might find out that this development could be a mixed blessing for the Bidens.
For one, a presidential pardon does not cover state crimes. …
For another – and this is a big one – Hunter can now be required to testify before Congress or in court. His sole defense against subpoenas thus far has been that he wanted to invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to say anything under oath that could incriminate him. Now that he cannot be charged for any federal crimes, he can no longer meet the legal threshold of showing a reasonable fear that answering questions would provide evidence that could be used in court to convict him of a crime. …
So now the bagman at the center of all the Biden Family corruption scandals cannot escape what could be hours of interrogation under oath. …
Joe Biden is thus left with only one play: pardon everyone the Hunter Biden pardon scandal touches, including himself. …
But there is one potential weakness for the current president under such a plan: It is unclear whether a president can pardon himself. …
So President Joe Biden’s primary goal for his son will stand: Hunter will not be going to federal prison anytime soon. But there may be a price to pay for the Biden family, and it remains to be seen what this new precedent means for the future.

Lord, Help us and especially those who would be investigating the Biden family dealings to first look at our own heart and repent of any and all anger or unforgiveness we are holding against this family. Then if investigations and or prosecutions need to proceed for righteousness and justice to be served let it be done from hearts of forgiveness to purify the struggle, rather than from revenge. We know you love and died for the Biden family so we ask you bring each one to repentance and eternal salvation.
DEAR LORD GOD
LET THE ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONALPARDON OF HUNTER BIDEN BE NEUTRALIZED AND TRUENJUSTICE BE DONE TO THSI AMAZINGLY CORRUPT FAMLY WHOEVEN ASSAUKT THEIROWN MEMBERS AS IN THE ASE OF ASHLEY BIDEN WHO WAS RAPED BY JOE BIDEN WHEN SHE WAS EIGHT (8) YEARS OLD IN THE FAMILY SHOWER. YOU CAN BET THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. SO BRING MUCH NEEDED JUSTICE TO THIS FAMILY, THEIR ACOLYTES, SUPPORTERS, ACCOMPLICES, ETC., ETC., ETC..
I ASK IN JESUS’ NAME
AMEN
Father, I pray that true justice will be done in the Hunter Biden case. Please reveal every cover-up and let no stone go unturned. If their are others involved in his illegal activities, please let it be known. Thank you Father for letting justice prevail.
In Jesus’ name, I pray with thanksgiving, amen.
I expected this so it was no surprise. I am far more concerned about what is going on in Syria.
God has thsis situation in hand the same way Satan must have been certain that he had won at Calvary…but it was Satan’s greatest defeat. Will keep my eyes of God’s work in this situation
Question based on something I heard last night: a pardon means he can’t go to jail but could he still be tried? The trial would open a lot of doors.
Lord–I ask that you bring about justice for the Biden’s nefarious actions. They should not be able to pardon themselves. You also promise to bring everything to light. We pray that nothing would be overlooked and that every bribe given to judges might also come to light.
We desire for our society to be ruled by the letter of the law. I pray for every lie to be exposed from our news stations. Accountability and no tolerance for an outright lying.
Finally–I ask for a move of Your Spirit on the hearts of Americans that they would have a healthy fear of You.
In Jesus’ wonderful name.
Is this comment sarcasm, a joke? You talk about Biden nefarious and then say you want bribery brought to light? How about Trump’s bribe from Egypt, Trump’s bribe to Pam Bondi and to now make her Attorney General? How about Trump’s bribes from the oil industry? Yes, Lord, please let all the bribery be brought to light. We really want to know how many bribes Trump has given and received. Bribery is a pretty big Biblical issue, it is sin, and Trump is knee deep in bribes.
Some have suggested that Biden’s pardoning his son will now give Trump license to pardon anyone he wants, apparently forgetting that in his first term, Trump pardoned his daughter Ivanka’s father-in-law, Charles Kushner, who pleaded guilty to federal charges of tax evasion, campaign finance offenses, and witness tampering and whom Trump has now tapped to become the U.S. ambassador to France.
Trump also pardoned for various crimes men who were associated with the ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian operatives working to elect Trump. Those included his former national security advisor Michael Flynn, former campaign manager Paul Manafort, and former allies Roger Stone and Steve Bannon. Those pardons, which suggested Trump was rewarding henchmen, received a fraction of the attention lavished on Biden’s pardon of his son.
In today’s news coverage, the exercise of the presidential pardon—which traditionally gets very little attention—has entirely outweighed the dangerous nominations of an incoming president, which will have profound influence on the American people. This imbalance reflects a longstanding and classic power dynamic in which Republicans set the terms of public debate, excusing their own objectionable behavior while constantly attacking Democrats in a fiery display that attracts media attention but distorts reality.
The degree to which the media endorsed that abusive power dynamic today does not bode well for its accurate reporting during Trump’s upcoming term. It also leaves the public badly informed about matters that are important for understanding modern politics.
Among other stories that received less attention than Biden’s pardon of his son was that today right-wing activist Dinesh D’Souza publicly apologized to a man depicted in D’Souza’s film “2000 Mules.” That film claimed the 2020 presidential election was stolen, and Trump used it to push the Big Lie that he was the true winner of that election, a lie that by 2023 close to 70% of Republicans believed.
While he continued to stand by the lie, D’Souza admitted that the film’s claim that the “mules” shown delivering ballots to dropboxes had been located through geolocation of their cell data was false. Earlier this year, after a man depicted in the film sued, the publisher of the film and the book on which it was based withdrew the book and the film from its platforms and issued a sweeping apology.
On X, D’Souza’s own comment about Biden’s pardon pointedly illustrated the partisan double standard: “No one is above the law—except my son Hunter!” he wrote above a picture of Biden and his son. This prompted progressive journalist Brian Tyler Cohen to reply: “You were literally pardoned by Trump.” Cohen was right: Trump pardoned D’Souza in 2018 after his conviction for committing campaign finance violations.
Trump pardoned his daughter Ivanka’s father-in-law, Charles Kushner, who pleaded guilty to federal charges of tax evasion, campaign finance offenses, and witness tampering and whom Trump has now tapped to become the U.S. ambassador to France……YES President Trump did pardon Charles, but the pardon was AFTER Charles Kushner had paid his price in punishment.
If someone errs in their life, and then they do restitution, learn from it, and then live a good life, are they never to able to return to society?
Additionally, I for one do not trust the ‘justice’ system….the whole system needs to be overhauled.
And what evidence do you have that the justice system is not trustworthy? Because they make decisions that you do not like but are based on the evidence? And, contrary to what you want to accept, Hunter Biden did make restitution, every bit as much as Kushner. He paid interest and penalties on the taxes owed. Christians should not make judgements in a biased manner. According to Jesus in the sermon on the mount, we should judge all people by the same standards. As well, what would be your response, if in 4 years, a Democrat became president and made Hunter Biden an ambassador to a prominent country. Would you judge Hunter Biden and Charles Kushner in the same way. In the age of Trump, Christians seem to make up evidence for what they want to believe and not judge all equally.
Simple, crooked Joe will step down and Harris will briefly be President and pardon Joe. See how corrupt the deep state is? Don’t EVER AGAIN let the Marxist Left tell you nobody is above the law! Marxism is pure unadulterated EVIL!
Except there is no evidence that Joe Biden is crooked. Democrat Jarod Moskowitz offered to make a motion for Biden to be impeached since James Comer and the Republicans had all this evidence of crime. Republicans turned down the offer, would not second the motion because they had no evidence, none. So, they went after Biden’s son who had done some rotten things. If your response is, oh, there is evidence of Biden crime, then why do you have it but no Republican politicians??? Or, if there is evidence that Republicans have, they hold it back, refuse to show crimes the president has committed so they are the ones who are treasonous. Or, they are totally incompetent to be able to show any evidence. Those are all the options. The evidence of Biden crime is all a lie (most likely), the evidence is being hidden by Republicans or Republicans are incompetent. All turn out poorly for you. Jesus will hold people accountable for this type of irresponsibility.
Each one of us has our day of judgement in front of and by you, Lord.
I pray that every person seeks you, repents of their sins and asks your forgiveness before it is too late.
Thine will be done. Amen
Oh yes. I pray in agreement.
Very informative article…will certainly help us focus our prayers……
What about tramp? You didn’t make a fuss about when he pardon his daughter father in law. So what’s the fuss about President Biden.
Thank you, Lord, for this glowing testimony, for upholding Jack Phillips with your righteous right hand, & showing the world again that no weapon formed against him ( or any of your children ) shall succeed in the name of Jesus! They may form & they may rise up, but they will not have their way, Because it is God who fights on his behalf & on our behalf, & if God is for us, who can be against us? AMEN & AMEN!
He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone! Lord, let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let your justice & your righteousness prevail throughout our nation in Jesus name! Have your way! Amen & Amen!
🤦♂️🤷♂️🤦♂️
Thank you for posting such an informative article concerning the issues. You have definitely provided several prayer points to cover going forward.
#liberalfascist 2 tier justice system about to implode
Psalm 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; grace and truth attend you.
Isa 28:15-19 Because you said, “We made a covenant with death, we made a contract with Sh’ol (the grave). When the raging flood passes through, it will not touch us. For we have made lies our refuge and hid ourselves in falsehoods”— therefore here is what YHVH Elohim says: “Look, I am laying in Tziyon a tested stone, a costly cornerstone, a firm foundation-stone; he who trusts will not rush here and there. I will make justice the plumbline and righteousness the plumb-bob; hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, water will overflow the hiding place, your covenant with death will be annulled, and your contract with Sh’ol (the grave) will not stand. When the raging flood passes through, you will be trampled down by it. As often as it passes through, it will take you, for it will pass through every morning, day after day, night after night; understanding the message will be sheer terror.”
May this holy fear of YHVH fall upon all of those who “have made lies (their) refuge and hid (themselves) in falsehoods”. YHVH, please reset Your plumbline and plumb-bob in our nation.
John 8:44
I never believed Joe Biden when he said he would not pardon his son. He would have been better off not saying anything than to lie.
Lord I pray that Your truth always be known and satan’s lies be brought to light. Amen
Crooks always OVERExtend their reach… the writing is on the wall for all to see… history will see the stain!!!
“But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against The Lord, and you may be sure that your sin will find you out”
Numbers 32:23
This will have strong consequences in this man’s life and family, I pray that he will come to repentance and acknowledge what he has done before the Lord and America.
Justice has to be served.
Father, Thy Will be Done. In the Mighty Mighty Name of Jesus we pray. Amen
