Former Clinton Adviser Rips Biden Over Hunter Pardon
This weekend, Joe Biden went back on his word and pardoned Hunter Biden, something he told us all time and again he would not do.
Well, that move is not sitting well on either side of the aisle.
To that point, former Clinton adviser Mark Penn just hammered Biden for going back on his word.
Disgraceful Pardon
Joe Biden could have said he would look at this and make a decision later, but from his first day in office, Biden insisted that he would not be pardoning Hunter Biden.
I am among those who believe he discussed this matter with Trump during their recent meeting, and I firmly believe that Trump would have pardoned Hunter to throw Democrats an olive branch.
I am actually glad Biden did this to save Trump the negative press because I would have been furious about it, but now Biden is the one taking the heat, and rightfully so.
Penn was livid, posting, “This was not a pardon of just Hunter Biden but of Joe Biden himself as his son ran a scheme with Joe’s brother to shakedown adversaries of over $20 million and then didn’t even pay taxes on it. And the loot was distributed even to grandchildren.
“And this is yet another of the many issues the American public was shamefully gaslighted over.”
This is going to hurt the Democrat Party, and they know it.
We have seen many Democrats already come forward to speak against the pardon, but the one person who has been dead silent is Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
I bring up Schiff because he is the one who, when he thought Trump would pre-emptively pardon Donald Trump Jr., said the pardon could be considered obstruction of justice.
In fact, Schiff even introduced legislation to allow Congress to investigate such a pardon, but now he is just sitting on his hands with Biden making history by being the first sitting president to pardon his son.
