Biden pardons son to protect family from corruption probe
Listen To Story Above
Here’s my rephrasing of the blog post about Hunter Biden’s pardon, maintaining all original quotes and keeping the story intact:
President Joe Biden’s sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden effectively shields the entire Biden family from ongoing corruption investigations, according to investigative journalist Peter Schweizer’s analysis on his Drill Down podcast.
The unprecedented scope of the pardon, covering a decade of potential crimes from 2014 to 2024, raises significant concerns about the Biden family’s business dealings. While presidential pardons typically address specific crimes, this blanket immunity mirrors only one historical precedent – Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon.
Did you know Biden's pardon of Hunter goes back to when he became a board member for Burisma, the corrupt Ukrainian energy company, in 2014…?

The timing of the pardon’s coverage period coincides with several controversial business arrangements. In late 2013, Hunter secured a $1.5 billion Chinese investment deal following an Air Force 2 trip to Beijing. Subsequently, he joined Burisma’s board despite lacking energy sector experience and received $3.5 million from Russian billionaire Elena Baturina.
The document’s end date extending through December 2024 potentially relates to Hunter’s art sales, where pieces fetched up to $500,000, with some buyers later receiving ambassadorial appointments. This timing suggests possible concerns about future transactions.
Schweizer highlights six critical aspects of the pardon: its unprecedented breadth, its protection of other family members, the strategic dating, its relationship to a failed immunity deal, Trump’s electoral victory as a catalyst, and the justice system’s political favoritism.
“This shows how shameless the Bidens are,” Schweizer remarks. “Their goal was to clear Hunter for everything. With the pardon, that’s exactly what they are getting.”
From covering up a mentally disabled president to in-your-face personal use of justice to hide massive corruption, we are witnessing audacious liars staining the US Presidency forever. The Biden legacy. https://t.co/1dSpZNZXYw

The pardon’s broad scope suggests concerns beyond Hunter’s individual actions, potentially shielding investigations into Joe Biden’s vice-presidential conduct, including his handling of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin’s dismissal.
“I’m a father, too,” Schweizer states. “I don’t think it’s acceptable that Joe Biden allowed this to happen. Hunter Biden did what he did because his father allowed him to do it. That’s not being a very good father.”
Schweizer criticizes media coverage, noting that “The curiosity that they once had is completely gone. They didn’t run stories looking into the details of any of this. Even now they continue to carry water for the Bidens. They told us Trump couldn’t be trusted with levers of justice, but look at what Biden did!”
