Liar in Chief: President Biden Cloaks His Legacy in Infamy With the Hunter Biden Pardon

Good to see someone from the Democrat side speaking from principle

President Joe Biden’s decision to use his presidential powers to pardon his own son will be a decision that lives in infamy in presidential politics. It is not just that the President used his constitutional powers to benefit his family. It is because the action culminates years of lying to the public about his knowledge and intentions in the influence-peddling scandal surrounding his family. Even among past scandals in the abuse of the pardon power, Biden has cemented his legacy for many as not the Commander in Chief but the Liar in Chief.
quote:
In the 2020 election and throughout his presidential term, Biden repeatedly lied to the American public with an ease and impunity that shocked even many political veterans in Washington. He was repeatedly asked if he knew about Hunter’s foreign dealings, including millions in alleged deals with Russians, Ukrainians, Chinese, and other clients. President Biden lied and denied such knowledge. As I detailed in my testimony in the Biden impeachment hearing, he had repeated discussions of these dealings. He is even on tape discussing news stories on the dealings.
President Biden was also repeatedly asked if he met any of his son’s clients. He repeatedly lied. We have pictures and records of dinners and meetings with these clients. Hunter Biden was expressly thanked for his arranging such access to his father.
Few reporters pressed Biden on the corruption scandal, but they were often met not only with denials but angry retorts from the president. When Fox reporter Peter Doocy raised it, the President steamed “Yes, yes, yes. God love you, man — you’re a one-horse pony, I tell you.”
When CBS’s Bo Erickson broke ranks and raised the scandal and drew a rebuke from Biden “I know you’d ask it. I have no response, it’s another smear campaign, right up your alley, those are the questions you always ask.”
The President continued to lie throughout the election, the presidential debates, and his term.

Pitiful shameful family. Crime riddled and corrupt and no respect of the office. He can’t disappear quietly can he?

Cementing his legacy as the worst president/puppet in history.

If he had limited it to the charges discussed in his statement, I wouldn’t have an issue with it.
The blanket pardon is unbelievable.
I really don’t see how that is even possible.

Does this make him ineligible for Mt Rushmore now?

This pardon is being blown out of proportion. A president pardoning his son means nothing to me. I would do it in a heartbeat while flipping all of you the double-bird. If we want to bitch about pardons, let's focus on presidents pardoning their donors or receiving compensation for pardons.

People with that sort of mindset have no business being president. He’s set a dangerous precedent that will be abused going forward.

From the article linked in the OP:
quote:
The pardon power was written in absolute terms, and a president can even, in my view, pardon himself. However, what is constitutional is not necessarily ethical or right. This is one of the most disgraceful pardons even in the checkered history of presidential pardons. President Biden has lied to cover up a corruption scandal that reportedly brought his family millions in raw influence peddling. His portrayal of his son as a victim stands in sharp contrast to the sense of immunity and power conveyed by Hunter in his dealings.
There were diamonds as gifts, lavish expense accounts, and a sports car, in addition to massive payments that Hunter claimed were “loans.” There are messages where Hunter belies the President’s portrayal of a political witch hunt, including messages like the one to a Chinese businessman openly threatening the displeasure of Joe Biden if money is not sent to them immediately. In the WhatsApp message, Hunter stated: “I am sitting here with my father, and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the Chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

Joe will rest easy knowing his pardon is what will be talked about instead of his recognition as proving to be worst than Obama and Carter.

“ You have my word as a Biden!”

Yep. There was zero hint of scandal and illegitimacy of the Biden error until this pardon debacle.
Ol' Joe was pitching a perfect game until he shot himself in the foot yesterday.

Flippant, emotional, uninformed response.
You are the sweet summer child of this thread.

Raw unadulterated corruption for all the world to see. This should mark the end of the legacy media as well for carrying his water and lying to the American people. Just pure filth.

That's Godfather-level shite right there.
