In a move that surprised exactly no one—except perhaps the media who pretended to be shocked—Joe Biden has officially pardoned his son, Hunter Biden. This announcement came as the latest chapter in what has become an incredible saga of political maneuvering, family drama, and questionable ethics. For months, pundits insisted that the President would never stoop to such a level as to pardon his own son, but reality proved they were as out of touch as their favorite ideological narratives.
The prosecution of Hunter Biden has always appeared to be less about justice and more about creating an illusion of impartiality in the political arena. There was an apparent attempt by the Department of Justice to draw a moral equivalency between Hunter and former President Donald Trump. However, the effort to project fairness fell short when investigators sought a sweetheart deal that even a judge found questionable. It was a move that seemed more about political optics than about true legal accountability.
Now, with the recent pardon, observers cannot ignore the implications of this decision. Hunter Biden’s pardon isn’t merely a gesture of parental love; it encompasses activities dating back to 2014, long before any of the current scandals came to light. It raises essential questions about the extent of his family’s dealings with foreign entities. While he may have been convicted of specific charges, this pardon conveniently covers all the bases, hinting that his alleged misdeeds could be much broader than what was officially brought to light.
This political saga places a spotlight on the Biden family’s complicated web of relationships with foreign agents, all of which raises eyebrows regarding the integrity of the White House. Critics might argue that this pardon serves as a reassurance to those who could be implicated in future investigations: if you have a connection to the Big Guy, you might just be safe regardless of the legal consequences. This serves to undermine the supposed “norms” that President Biden claims to protect while simultaneously emboldening others who may think they, too, can escape accountability with the right connections.
In this ongoing drama, one thing is abundantly clear: the narrative pushed by mainstream media and the Biden administration is starting to crack. To claim that such actions are about upholding legal standards while simultaneously pardoning one’s own son demonstrates a striking disconnect from the reality facing everyday Americans. It seems the only norm this pardon really defends is that of political privilege. In a world where ethics appear flexible at best, the Biden family continues to illustrate that the rules are, indeed, different for some—much to the detriment of public trust in leadership.
