The move came after Hunter’s lawyers released a 52-page public statement Sunday that read like a “Dear Dad, please help me out, I screwed up” letter.
Now, President-elect Donald Trump is weighing in, and he’s not impressed. Justice for thee, but not for me? he seemed to be saying:

That’s a helluva question.
Although Biden repeatedly stated that he would not pardon his son, a promise that many doubted, he ultimately went back on his word, just as many had anticipated. The decision was heavily criticized by Trump’s spokesperson, who highlighted the corruption in the justice system under the Biden-Harris administration.

“The failed witch hunts against President Trump have proven that the Democrat-controlled DOJ and other radical prosecutors are guilty of weaponizing the justice system,” Trump’s incoming White House communications chief Steven Cheung said in a statement to Fox News.
“That system of justice must be fixed and due process must be restored for all Americans, which is exactly what President Trump will do as he returns to the White House with an overwhelming mandate from the American people.”
The sweeping pardon basically says, “No consequences for you, kid.”

Amazingly, both Hunter, in his 52-page letter, and Biden, in his pardon, whined about the politicization of the justice system. It shows almost inexplicable gall, considering the mentally declining president has overseen what is arguably the most politicized banana republic DOJ we have ever seen, one that relentlessly—often baselessly—hounds their political enemies.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely:
Liar, liar, pants on fire:
President Biden says he will not pardon Hunter Biden and will accept the outcome, no matter what it is, of his son’s trial.
This is the way. No one is above the law.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who has been relentlessly investigating the Biden Crime Family, issued a blistering statement:
“The charges Hunter faced were just the tip of the iceberg in the blatant corruption that President Biden and the Biden Crime Family have lied about to the American people,” added Comer (R-Ky.), whose panel found evidence the commander in chief abused his power to perpetuate a family “influence-peddling racket” and obstructed their investigation. “It’s unfortunate that, rather than come clean about their decades of wrongdoing, President Biden and his family continue to do everything they can to avoid accountability.”
🚨STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ISSUING A PARDON TO SON HUNTER BIDEN:
“Joe Biden has lied from start to finish about his family’s corrupt influence peddling activities. Not only has he falsely claimed that he never met with his son’s foreign business associates and that his…

This is the final nail in the coffin of Joe’s corrupt legacy of failure and grift. Years from now, we will be reading in the history books: “This is not how you do it.”
January 20 cannot come soon enough.
