I’ve never really been in favor of the idea of endless investigations into people just because they are your political opponent. I didn’t like it when Democrats did it to Donald Trump, and I wasn’t keen on the idea of Republicans doing it to Democrats. But notice how that sentence is in the past tense. Screw those people, unleash the hounds.
I have known Joe Biden was a vindictive, corrupt little man. On his last day in office he showed just how far down the toilet he now lives.
My former boss, the late Montana Senator Conrad Burns, was not a big fan of some Democrats who were around in my time. His least favorite, and the man he told me was absolutely corrupt, was Harry Reid. While the list of people he’d have choice words for in private was not all that long, it did include Joe Biden.
Biden was “not a bright man” and full of pieces of post digested food quite often, to put it in family friendly terms. But no one really thought of him as corrupt. He rode the train, talked about how modestly he lived, etc. That should have been the first red flag.
Smart people don’t talk about how smart they are, funny people don’t waste your time telling you they’re funny, you just notice. Joe Biden has spent years telling everyone how “normal” he was – claiming the nicknames “middle class Joe” and “lunch bucket Joe,” neither of which anyone other than Biden has ever called Joe Biden.
He’s been so full of that post-digested food his whole life it’s a wonder his hair ever went grey, until you realize what happens to that “dog dirt” if it sits in the yard for a couple of weeks.
To hell with him and his wife. When Joe pardoned his family it was an attempt to cover up a conspiracy in this Joe was not only a participant, but the hub.
I don’t know the answer to this, but I believe there is a legal challenge that should clarify the answer to: Can a President pardon members of a criminal conspiracy that he is a party to?

Without Joe Biden’s position in government, his son, his brother and the rest of the clan have nothing to sell. Literally. They all, collectively, bring nothing to the table. They’ve never worked in the various industries that suddenly decided to pay them fortunes, they never been to many of the countries they got money from and they didn’t even speak the language of those countries. The only way to bring less to the table is to take things away from the table.
What did they do?
They’ve now all been pardoned, which means they have absolutely zero grounds for pleading the 5th Amendment if they were called to testify before Congress or any other criminal proceeding. That protects against self-incrimination, which the pardon makes impossible.
Congress should immediately launch an investigation into this, both the House and Senate. Subpoena everyone. Joe can shield his documents in the decision-making process, he can’t claim executive privilege over people who had zero role in the Executive Branch or were not government employees.
While the pardons may hold, they will not protect anyone from a perjury charge should they lie under oath; or a contempt of Congress charge, should they refuse to answer questions.
Veterans of the first Trump administration went to prison for this, and no one is above the law, right?
We need to know just how corrupt the Biden family was. Even if most of them are protected from prosecution by these pardons – and I think it’s an open question, depending upon if those pardons came to be as part of a criminal conspiracy – the country needs to know for posterity and to protect against future corruption.
Get on this Mike Johnson and John Thune. I know neither of you want to, it’s just not who you are or how either of you operate, but this is too important to be held to old standards of the Marquis of Queensbury Rules in a guerilla war.
The country not only needs to know just how deep the corruption of the Biden family goes but how it worked so that nothing like the Biden Crime Family ever again even sniffs the levers of power in the United States of America. Let that be Joe Biden’s legacy. Shame on them.
