In the final weeks of his presidency, Joe Biden issued pardons to his son, Hunter Biden, and five other family members, including his brother James Biden and his wife, Sara Jones Biden; his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and her husband, John Owens; and his brother Francis Biden.
These pardons, which cover a range of alleged misconduct spanning 11 years, have raised eyebrows and sparked a flurry of questions. The most pressing of these is why the President himself was conspicuously absent from the list of pardoned individuals.
As reported by The Blaze, political commentator Liz Wheeler was not taken aback by the pardons granted to Hunter Biden and the rest of the family. "This wasn't just a Joe Biden-Hunter Biden scheme. This was something that Joe Biden ran. His entire family profited something to the tune of $18 million while Joe Biden was vice president, Wheeler stated. However, she expressed surprise at the President's decision not to include himself in the pardons, given his alleged involvement in the purported criminal activities.
Revolver News has proposed a theory that might explain this puzzling omission. The theory suggests that the President may not have been the one to sign the pardons. Instead, it posits that "his handlers" could have been the ones pulling the strings. "Perhaps in the end, Joe the man riddled with dementia will be the fall guy for his entire criminal enterprise, Revolver News speculated.
Wheeler believes that if this theory holds water and Biden faces prosecution, his mental fitness will suddenly become a point of contention. The same people who told us that Joe Biden was absolutely mentally fit to be president would suddenly say, He's not mentally competent to stand trial; you can't put a man with dementia in the witness seat; it's an egregious violation of all the tenants of our criminal justice system, she predicted.
Wheeler further argued that this would be the narrative not only from Biden's family and attorneys but also from the mainstream media. Despite these potential obstacles, she emphasized the need for thorough investigations. Whether you are a local DA in a red district ... whether you are a state attorney general in a red state or whether you are the FBI under the helm of Kash Patel once he's confirmed into that position or the Department of Justice under the helm of Pam Bondi once she is confirmed, investigate all the way, she urged.
Wheeler also called for comprehensive investigations into every scandal, regardless of the pardons. Whether this is the pipe bombers on January 5 of 2021, whether this is the undercover FBI and other government agency people/personnel who were on the ground in trapping patriotic Americans on January 6, whether it's related to Fauci and COVID and gain-of-function [research] and EcoHealth Alliance, or whether it's Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and the Biden family criminal cartel, we have to uncover the truth, she insisted.
Wheeler's call to action is not rooted in revenge or poetic justice, but in the belief that failing to uncover the truth would embolden wrongdoers. As the dust settles on the Biden presidency, these pardons and the questions they raise will undoubtedly continue to fuel debates about accountability, justice, and the rule of law.
