For John, BLUF: It is That City, so who knows what to trust coming out beyond the Beltway? Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
There are two sides to Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter ... and lots of shades of gray
From Truth and Consequences, by Political Analyst Michael A Cohen, 2 D3cember 2024.
Here is the lede plus two:
So this is a tricky one.I am not believing this "Biden pardons Hunter" story. President Biden has assured us he would not pardon his Son, Hunter Biden. He gave his word as a Biden. His Press Secretary, Ms Karine Jean-Pierre, assured us President Biden would not pardon his Son.It’s tough to defend Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter on the merits. Biden has used his absolute pardon power to grant a reprieve to his son, who earlier this year was convicted of lying on a gun application and pleaded guilty to a series of tax evasion charges. Even if the president believes, as he claims, that the criminal justice system mistreated his son, the fact is Hunter Biden committed multiple felonies — and a jury of his peers found him guilty.
And Biden’s pardon went beyond these two cases — he issued a sweeping pardon that covers any criminal behavior by Hunter Biden dating back to 2014.
Might not this be another case of Disinformation, like The New York Post article on the alleged Hunter Biden Laptop? Fifty-one Intel Leaders assured us the laptop srory actually had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation.
Wold Presidet Biden betray us that way? Remember, he promised to bring us together
Hat tip to Speech Boy.
