But, as with the aforementioned pardon recipients, infinite other crimes Hunter may have committed within 10 years were also pardoned without ever having been charged.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, I never want to hear a Democrat talk about &ldquo;the norms,&rdquo; &ldquo;decency,&rdquo; and how &ldquo;no one is above the law&rdquo; ever again. This isn&rsquo;t about them failing to live up to their own professed principles. They never held them to begin with, and they&rsquo;re only showing it now because they lost the 2024 election to a man they swore was Hitler.<\/p>\n<p>The pardon was intended to be a gravely serious executive power, and it was highly contested even among the founders as to whether such a level of authority should be bestowed on one man. A presidential pardon is also supposed to be implemented as an act of mercy. Biden turned it into a literal &ldquo;get out of jail free&rdquo; card.<\/p>\n<p>Every pardon granted until now was either for explicit crimes or for obvious criminal charges to be preempted. Richard Nixon was pardoned preemptively, but everyone knew the crimes he was alleged to have committed. What the hell did all of Biden&rsquo;s prominent recipients do that they need a sweeping pardon excusing <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/12\/02\/after-hunters-pardon-its-time-to-prosecute-the-rest-of-the-biden-crime-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">potentially criminal behavior<\/a> going back as far as 2014? What did his <em>sister<\/em> do? What did her <em>husband<\/em> do? Is Diddy involved?<\/p>\n<p>The depravity of the Bidens evidently runs to their blackened core.
