Joe’s pardoning of Hunter will seal historians’ judgment on Joe
Hunter, it seems, just can’t get a break. First, he gets convicted of all three counts on an illegal gun purchase. That doesn’t sound like much but it carries a potential 25-year sentence.
Bad luck, that conviction.
This week, his trial for tax evasion was to begin. At the last minute, he trotted out a scheme where he pleads guilty without admitting guilt. (It’s a lawyer thing.)
The prosecutors were having none of it, and the judge was skeptical.
So then, Hunter just entered a straight guilty plea on all nine counts. They carry a potential 17-year sentence.
If he were sentenced to the maximum on both the gun and the tax charges, he’d be looking at 42 years in the federal penitentiary. He’d get out when he’s 96.
More bad luck, that.
Hunter’s lawyer suggests that we should feel sorry for this gun-toting, tax-evading, crack-addicted, influence-peddling, deadbeat dad because of the third of those hyphenated adjectives – he is or at least was addicted to illegal crack cocaine.
For that crime, he was never even charged. Ah, a bit of good luck at last.
Joe has said he won’t pardon Hunter. But Joe has also said he graduated high in his law school class; he was the guy who stood up to Corn Pop; his surrender of Afghanistan along with billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment to barbarians from the 11th century was “an extraordinary success;” he won’t quit his run for reelection; and his uncle was eaten by cannibals.
No joke.
Hunter’s lawyer said the reason that Hunter pleaded guilty to the tax crimes was not because he committed tax crimes, but “to protect those he loves from unnecessary hurt and cruel humiliation.”
The prosecutors, you see, were prepared to show a trail of money from Romania, Ukraine and other foreign sources, and into the hands of the Biden family – a total of over $26 million. I don’t know whether Hunter actually “loves” the unidentified “those” people, but his guilty pleas were certainly to protect them from hurt and humiliation.
Whether you see that hurt as “unnecessary” and that humiliation as “cruel” may depend on whether you believe that justice should uncover the truth and crimes should be punished, or you’re a Democrat.
All this leaves two questions. First, what did the foreigners get for their $26+ million that they paid the Bidens? We may never know.
Second, given Hunter’s adept mercantile talents, what did, or will, he get for his guilty plea – a plea that dodged a trial that would have produced “unnecessary hurt and cruel humiliation” to “those he loves”?
I can answer that one. He got a promise for a pardon from the only person he allegedly loves who has the power to grant that pardon: Dad.
Dad will commit yet another selfish act of raw mendacity and corruption – one that probably rises to the level of criminal obstruction of justice.
But I can live with that. Because this time there will be a price to pay. Historians seeing the outrageous final act of this crime family will finally give Joe his due. Joe won’t like it, but he’ll be gone in a few years anyway.
I won’t be, however. It will please me to see historians – even the liberal ones, and almost all are liberals – roast Joe along with his cheesy, corrupt, grifting family.
As for Hunter, it’s not very important to me that he go to jail. Even if he skates, he’s virtually untouchable now anyway. He’s in OJ territory.
Even crack jobs like MSNBC won’t hire this crack head. He’ll launch a podcast, but nobody will listen. He’ll start a GoFundMe site to raise money to find “the real” tax evader. Nobody will donate.
He’ll learn all about hurt – the necessary kind. And humiliation – the righteous kind.
As a last resort, he’ll “co-author” a book (meaning he tells the story and someone else writes it) detailing the criminal shenanigans of the Biden crime family. He alone will be protected by Joe’s pardon. The others, not so much.
Bye-bye Bidens.
I wonder if ole Joe will just issue a blanket pardon for each and every member of his disgusting, ugly family (including himself). If so, it is what EVERY president should do for him/herself from now on right before leaving office which should shut the door on the SCOTUS ruling about "presidential immunity" forever amirite??? This bastard shall forever be known as the absolute worst pos to ever claim the office.
I really don't care all that much for how "history" judges any of the Biden crime family. I'm not going to be around long enough to enjoy that vindication. What I would like to see is a criminal investigation/prosecution of the "Don" of that family, viz., Joseph Robinette Biden himself, without whom none of the other Biden criminals would have had the opportunity to exploit the system for monetary gain. Biden's pattern of criminality was set early on, when he crafted an exemption from bankruptcy discharge of credit card debt, which specifically benefitted MBNA, which then promptly hired Hunter as legal counsel despite his having no qualifications other than being Joe's baby boy. The Burisma affair was only one among probably hundreds of "pay to play" schemes that benefitted one or more of the Biden clan members. The off shore accounts held by everyone in the family, including Joe's grandchildren (Navy Joan excepted, of course) no doubt held millions in kick-backs and not a penny of federal income tax has ever been paid on that income, nor has there been any serious investigation into those accounts, save for those in which Hunter had a direct interest. And recall that the DOJ allowed the statute of limitations to expire on charges related to millions of those dollars. If we lived in a perfect--or even merely a better--world, every single Biden, including Frau Professor Jill would be under investigation and every one of them would be going to prison. That might serve as a deterrent to such behavior in the future. And in case I might be accused of partisanship, I would dearly love to see a similar investigation into the affairs of Mitch McConnell, the Senator from China. But I shan't hold my breath awaiting such developments.
