In 2020, the political landscape was shaken when Donald Trump lost the presidential election, leaving a trail of speculation regarding potential preemptive pardons for his family to shield them from the Democrats’ siege of congressional investigations and a possible Biden-led Department of Justice witch hunt. In a classic display of partisan posturing, Representative Adam Schiff not only denied ever hearing of an innocent person receiving a preemptive pardon but likely dismissed the notion outright. Fast forward four years, and it turns out Schiff, along with a seemingly endless cast of characters from the January 6 committee, basked in the glow of a pardon issued by the very administration that had relentlessly pursued them.
The pardon power, a relic of monarchical authority carefully tucked into the Constitution, allows the president to grant clemency without question. It’s nearly as untouchable as a winning lottery ticket. And while it’s a tool meant for justice, the manner in which Biden wielded it raises eyebrows that would nearly rival those of any cartoon character. When the Biden administration swept in with a pardon for Schiff, it begged the question: what exactly were they hoping to cover up? Cross-referencing pardons with questionable behaviors raises suspicion, especially when the pardoned parties include those working to disgrace and dismantle Trump at every opportunity.
THE LAST GASP:
One of @JoeBiden's final acts in office is to protect his political allies from any federal accountability.
He will be remembered for two things: economic decline and corruption.

This latest pardoning flurry isn’t just about Adam Schiff; it’s also got the Biden family at its center. Joe’s brother, James Biden, was already under the microscope due to alleged improprieties linked to business dealings that even his own DOJ couldn’t ignore. The stench of corruption lingers around the whole family, and it’s not simply the aroma of a legal victory. When the average American connects the dots—from Hunter Biden to James and beyond—desperate questions emerge about the family’s network of alleged wrongdoing. Doing favors for his family while they’re embroiled in scandal? It sounds like a political soap opera.
When precisely did these pardons begin? January 1, 2014, conveniently chosen to cover Hunter Biden’s alleged escapades in influence peddling and business malpractice while providing a blanket of protection for the entire Biden clan. It’s bewildering that this cloak of immunity was bestowed upon himself and family members during a time when the public has a right to be asking tough questions. In a world where transparency is purportedly paramount, Biden’s last-minute sweeps to pardon anyone associated with ongoing investigations smacks of evasion—the kind that leaves citizens justifiably suspicious of the motives behind such actions.
As commentators pointed out, this exercise in clemency from Biden is more than a mere act; it signals a deeper entrenchment into the realm of corruption, where ethics are tossed aside faster than last week’s leftovers. Dismissing the effects of these pardons and their implications in the broader narrative of a relentless partisan agenda reveals a troubling trend. The double standards of America’s judicial landscape are glaring—the narrative stating “no one is above the law” rings hollow when the scales are tipped in favor of one political faction over another. In a stunning finale to his presidency, Joe Biden left behind a chaotic legacy marred by questionable actions making one thing abundantly clear: his presidency was far more about self-preservation than serving the interests of Americans.
