Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, appeared on Fox News to discuss the language of President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter. Turley stated that the language used in the pardon is historically “unprecedented” and shows a “breathtaking act of contempt for the American people.”
Turley explained that previous pardons, including former President Richard Nixon’s, have never included such broad language. He described Biden’s pardon as “literally pardoning his son for any crime that he may have committed during these years” and compared it to a “blank check.”
He also pointed out that even if state charges were brought against Hunter, the statute of limitations has already run out on many of the potential offenses. Turley criticized Biden’s pardon as a “breathtaking act of contempt” and said it has happened multiple times during his presidency.
Biden’s statement announcing the pardon claims that Hunter was “singled out” by his political opponents and that the investigations into his son’s actions were politically motivated. However, evidence from Hunter’s recent gun and tax charges suggests otherwise. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also stated that she and the president did not lie about Hunter’s potential pardon and continue to stand behind the Justice Department.
Biden’s statement also attempts to paint Hunter as a victim, stating that he has been “five and a half years sober” and has faced undue attacks and selective prosecution. The president also claimed that there is “no reason to believe it will stop here” and that he hopes Americans will understand why he made the decision to pardon his son.
The truth is, Hunter’s actions were not targeted or politically motivated. He was found guilty of buying a gun while under the influence of drugs and for filling out false information on a purchase form. He also faced significant charges for not paying his taxes. These are serious offenses that would result in consequences for anyone, regardless of their last name.
However, Biden’s decision to pardon his son shows a lack of accountability and sets a dangerous precedent. It sends the message that some individuals are above the law, as long as they have powerful connections. It’s clear that Biden’s presidency is riddled with conflicts of interest and disregard for the American people.

Well if Joe goes back to all of his Son’s crimes beginning in 2014 I have this to say. This could be the perfect time in our History to File Charges against Barack Obama. The reason you ask Obama was #1 in the Country and Biden @2. Well with that being said (Obama had to approve all of this and let the kid loose. After all Obama was the Leader of “The Hope & Change Brigade” and was doing everything he could to Change our America! He was never the brightest Candle on the cake. So now is the right time to blow out the Dem candles and hope they are never lit again in our America.
