MEGA MUSK: Making England Great Again?

President Joe Biden made history this weekend when he announced that he signed a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden. U.S. presidents have in the past granted pardons to family members or close allies, but never before had one pardoned their own progeny. Of course, Hunter Biden, 54, already made history in June when he became the first offspring of a sitting president to become a convicted felon. Jurors in Delaware had convicted him on three felony counts of lying on paperwork for the purchase of a revolver and owning the firearm while being a drug addict in 2018. A couple months later, in September, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to several federal charges related to tax crimes right before a second trial was to begin in Los Angeles. The First Son was expected to be sentenced for gun and tax evasion crimes later in December. He had faced the prospect of prison time. In announcing the pardon on Sunday, President Biden insisted that “raw politics” had tainted the process and led to “a miscarriage of justice.” The pardon is extensive, covering crimes Hunter “committed or may have committed” for an 11-year period dating back to 2014. President Biden, who ran his 2020 campaign with a pledge to “return to normalcy,” had previously rejected the notion that he would pardon his son. Just weeks ago, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “We’ve been asked that question multiple times and our answer stands — which is no.” President Biden had even released a statement insisting he would respect the outcome after his son was first convicted on gun charges in June. “I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal,” President Biden said at the time. Hunter’s pardon comes less than two months before his father leaves office after Donald Trump won a second White House term, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump, who faced his own criminal matters leading up to the 2024 election, had indicated he might be open to pardoning Hunter Biden. “Congrats to Joe Biden on being the first president in history to pardon his son for criminal activity,” quipped RedState contributor Bonchie. “One for the history books.”

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday after the president announced that he is pardoning his son, Hunter, before he is set to be sentenced for gun and tax evasion crimes later this month. Biden’s pardon of Hunter came after the president said multiple times earlier this year that he would not pardon Hunter if he was convicted. Shapiro said the extensive nature of Hunter’s pardon also takes President Biden “off the hook by proxy.” “Tonight, we found out that [Hunter] was not only pardoned on the charges for which he ended up being criminally convicted or pleading guilty, he was actually pardoned with regard to anything he did between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024 — including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted, including any that have resulted in convictions by special counsel David C. Weiss,” Shapiro said. “That is what Joe Biden issued tonight,” he added. “So it is not just the stuff that he is actually guilty of; it is anything else — any offense that he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during that entire period.” My instant reaction to Joe Biden PARDONING Hunter pic.twitter.com/GyYkjQMe98 — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) December 2, 2024 Shapiro noted that the ten-year period includes in the pardon “pretty much everything related to the Burisma period,” when Biden and his family members are accused of a worldwide influence peddling scheme. The scheme, which was unraveled by the House Oversight Committee, included Hunter being tapped as business associate to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma’s board of directors. Biden released a statement on his pardon of Hunter, writing in part, “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong.” Hunter Biden faced charges following the collapse of what critics panned as a “sweetheart” plea deal that may have spared him from a prison sentence. In his statement, President Biden bemoaned how the plea agreement “unraveled” with “a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process.” He also insisted, “Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases,” adding that “raw politics” tainted the process and led to “a miscarriage of justice.” Shapiro ripped that statement as “self-serving,” adding that the Justice Department pointed to its prosecution of Hunter as a “balancing act” while it continued to go after then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “Understand the corruption here: the entire attempt to convict Hunter Biden was done as a balancing act in order to demonstrate that they were not, in fact, a tool of the Democratic administration,” the Daily Wire editor emeritus said. “Their case was, ‘We can prosecute Donald Trump willy-nilly, but we’re not biased because we are also prosecuting Hunter.’ But Republicans were saying, ‘Yeah, that’s all well and good except that you know Joe is going to pardon Hunter the minute that he has the opportunity to do so, so it’s all a fake.” “It turns out we were all right. It was a fake,” he added. “I get it, you’re a dad,” Shapiro said of Biden. “But you’re also a super corrupt dad. None of these excuses hold water. You don’t get to claim that you agree with the justice system while you simultaneously undermine it through one of the most corrupt pardons in American history.” Daniel Chaitin contributed to this report. 

Anyone who might be anticipating a clash between the White House press corps and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is likely going to have to wait at least a few days while Biden travels to Angola. As soon as the news broke that President Joe Biden had issued a blanket pardon for his embattled son, Hunter Biden — who has been convicted on several felony charges and was still awaiting sentencing — many predicted an inevitable dust-up between reporters and Jean-Pierre, primarily because the latter has repeatedly insisted that Biden had no intention of issuing such a pardon. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Curtis Houck posted video from a regular White House briefing that took place just one month prior, showing Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asking Jean-Pierre about a potential pardon for Hunter — and as she had in the past, the press secretary insisted that there was no such pardon coming.

(@Jessica_4_Trump) December 2, 2024 When someone asked whether Jean-Pierre was “dreading” the inevitable flood of questions, Heinrich pointed out the fact that there would be no briefing at all — and therefore no televised questions — for at least a few days. “There won’t be any — no press briefing for the next few days. Biden issued the pardon before jetting to Angola late tonight. KJP will take questions on Air Force 1 en route, but off-camera …” Heinrich posted.

Hunter Biden previously made history when he became the first child of a sitting president to be convicted of a felony.

Republicans and top conservatives slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday night after he pardoned his son Hunter Biden from every crime he committed or may have committed over an 11-year period of time. “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter,” Biden said. “From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted.” Biden lied in his statement, falsely claiming that his son was only charged because “several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election.” “No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong,” Biden claimed. “There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Biden’s sweeping pardon for his son was met with instant backlash from conservatives who called it a corrupt abuse of power. “Joe Biden has lied from start to finish,” said House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) in a post on X. “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.” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), the incoming Senate Majority Whip, said in a post on X, “Tonight’s pardon is wrong. It proves to the American people that there is a two-tier system of justice.” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote on X: “Democrats said there was nothing to our impeachment inquiry. If that’s the case, why did Joe Biden just issue Hunter Biden a pardon for the very things we were inquiring about?” “Never forget: while Hunter was selling access to ‘the big guy,’ Joe Biden’s administration sent SWAT teams to the homes of prolifers; recruited spies in Catholic parishes; treated parents as domestic terrorists; and prosecuted Trump,” said Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). “The most lawless administration in history.” Sen.-elect Jim Banks (R-IN) noted that the time period that Biden pardoned his son for included the entire time that he worked at the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, which was the center of the Democrats’ first impeachment of Trump. Joe Biden issued a pardon to Hunter Biden for any crimes that he might have committed since 2014. Why such a specific year? Well, Hunter Biden just so happened to join the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy firm, in that same year, 2014. So corrupt! pic.twitter.com/xfC7o7OUuK — Jim Banks (@Jim_Banks) December 2, 2024 “Most Americans can sympathize with a father’s decision to pardon his son, even if they disagree,” said Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR). “What they can’t forgive is Biden lying about it repeatedly before the election.” “Remember, the Biden DOJ tried to give Hunter a corrupt sweetheart deal that was only stopped when the judge asked questions. This entire ordeal has been an affront to the rule of law,” he continued. “Democrats can spare us the lectures about the rule of law when, say, President Trump nominates Pam Bondi and Kash Patel to clean up this corruption.”
