Karine Jean-Pierre Fails to Put a Positive Spin on Biden Pardoning Hunter
KJP confirmed Biden will issue more pardons and clemency before his term ends in January.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre couldn’t spin President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter for the press.
Unfortunately, but probably not a coincidence, Biden issued the pardon when he did because he jetted off to Africa early this morning. Reporters questioning KJP took place on Air Force One, which means it’s just audio and not a formal setting.
KJP confirmed Biden will issue more pardons and clemency before his term ends in January.
But did KJP and Biden lie to the American people for months when both said the president wouldn’t pardon Hunter? I guess not:
KJP: First of all, one of the things that the president always believes is to be truthful to the American people. That is something that he always truly believe. And if you see the end of his, I assume that you’ve read his statement, and you look at the end of that statement and he actually says that in the first line in the last paragraph. And respects the thinking and how the American people will actually see this in his decision making.
And I would encourage everyone to read it full. The president’s statement, I think he lays out his thought process. He lays out how he came to this decision. He came to this decision this weekend, so let’s be very clear about that. He says it himself. It’s in his voice. He said he came to this decision this weekend, and he said he wrestled with this because he believes in the justice dydtem, but he also believes that the war politics infected the process and led to a miscarriage of justice.

Would the pardon have happened if VP Kamala Harris had won the election? KJP said no. Interesting:
Reporter: Do you this would have happened if Harris hadn’t lost the election?
KJP: I’m not going to get into the election. It is a no. I can answer that. It is a no.
Reporter: Would not have happened if Harris didn’t lose the election?
KJP: …to where we are today. And so I can’t speak to hypotheticals here where we are today. The president made this decision over the weekend.
REPORTER: "Do you think this would've happened if Harris hadn't lost the election?"
KJP: "No. I can answer that. It is a no."

Biden trashed the system in his statement regarding Hunter. I’m not shocked reporters wanted to know if the president believes the justice system has been weaponized.
KJP said he doesn’t. She even encourages people to read the statement, even though it would obviously prove her wrong:
Reporter: Does the president believe now and agree with President-elect Trump that the justice system has been weaponized for political purposes and that it needs root and branch reform?
KJP: No. Read the president’s statement. Seriously, read the president’s statement. He said he believes in the Department of Justice. He does. He says it in his statement. He believed, he also believes that war politics infected the process and it led to a miscarriage of justice. He believes his son was unfairly targeted. He said that what his political opponents have done to my son, that’s his words, is cruel and enough is enough.
He says he believes in the justice system. And I said both things. I could only speak for this president. I’m not going to speak for anybody else.
But both things could be true, right? And that’s what he says. He says that the Department of Justice, he believes in the Department of Justice. He also believes that politics infected the process here. It affected the process. And you saw that when the deal fell apart, and let’s not forget, Department of Justice agreed on that deal. The president said if that deal had moved forward, he thought it would be, a fair process. And when that deal fell apart, his political opponents took credit for it. They took credit for it and didn’t seem like they were going to stop.
Lady, the deal fell apart because the judge exposed it as a sweetheart deal.
REPORTER: So… Biden agrees with President Trump that the DOJ has been weaponized for political purposes?

When does KJP get censored for disinformation, misinformation, malinformation?
Haitians are not subject to censorship, unless they eat dogs, then the part about eating dogs will be censored.
Many pardons to come. Entire FBI and CIA leadership. Entire Cabinet. Fauci.
Joe Biden pardons himself
Receiving a pardon should be seen as evidence of guilt. Everyone pardoned should have all security clearances revoked and also added to a no fly list.
Not General Michael Flynn, who was the victim of a sneaky perjury trap and a vindictive judge.
Accepting a pardon has historically been publicly perceived as an admission of guilt, on the ridiculous premise that an innocent man would rather sit in prison or be executed than accept a pardon.
But that’s never been the law; even the dicta in Burdick doesn’t actually say it’s an admission, just that it would be perceived that way.
A few years ago there was a decision that officially said it isn’t an admission.
These additional pardons could include others in his family as Hunter apparently can not plead the Fifth if called to testify (aside from the implications of possibly related State legal liability). After all, didn’t a Biden grandchild get some money in one of these deals?😊
If you had a room-temperature IQ or higher and had any clue about the corrupt history of the scum-bag Joe Biden, you knew he was lying the whole time. You knew he would pardon Hunter after the election.
I was just surprised it took until December. I figured it’d be the day after the election.
They just dated the signed pardon that Hunter had been carrying around for months.
Hey! That’s very highly classified top secret information. You will now be considered an official whistle blower.
This is a test shot and a bit of a pin to let some of the air out. If response to the pardon is relatively subdued, it allows Biden to make last-minute January pardons of everybody in the Biden crime syndicate using the same form, just with more names stuck in. Don’t Federal conspiracy charges have a 10 year statute of limitations? Pardon was for 10 years and 11 mo. Amazing coincidence?
I can’t wait for Karoline.
Pardoning Hunter Biden for 10 years of unspecified crimes that he may have committed or been involved in is not easy for a DEI Jamaican immigrant to explain to her “fellow Americans”.
Or is it Haitian? I dunno—someone from somewhere outside of the country explaining things going on in the country that she knows nothing about.
Look, what matters is that she’s a DEI hire, you bigot.
Imagine going in back in time to 2016 to explain to people Joe Biden will eventually pardon his son for the crimes that the Democrats Impeached Trump for trying to investigate.
The press is asking the wrong questions. It’s not whether the pardon would have happened if Harris won but was the pardon triggered following Trump’s announcement for FBI Director?
A ten year look back pardon says to me that HB may have committed more than just a low level felony or two, which an aggressive investigation could easily dig up.
Or, it could mean that he hasn’t committed anything, but is afraid that the next administration will cook up false charges against him out of pure vindictiveness.
Which is ridiculous, but that’s the stance Joe Biden has publicly taken in the pardon announcement, so it would be consistent with that.
Think how many people Biden can pardon between now and when Trump is sworn in–I’m thinking his brother, maybe Jill, although there doesn’t appear to be any overt acts on her part, other family members, Cabinet positions, like those lying scum at the FBI, CIA and National Security; heads of NIH, the list is endless–just think of any Democrat who damaged the country in the past 4 years, and they’re probably on the list.
Hunter will need a life long pardon for crimes committed in the future:
1. Crack heads use crack
2. Crack costs money
3. Prostitutes ain’t cheap either.
A pardon, by definition, can only be for past offenses. Anything he does after the pardon is not covered.
Biden claims in his statement that Hunter was “selectively and unfairly” prosecuted. I’ll note that he specifically avoided calling Hunter’s prosecution “politicized.” But what else can he mean with his claim? Someone in DOJ has personal animosity towards Joe and/or his son? Nonsense. He’s complaining of a politicized process (invoking political opponents in Congress as the root cause of Hunter’s prosecution). He’s saying “political prosecution” without saying “political prosecution.” But he can’t say that directly because he (and Garland) insist that DOJ isn’t motivated by political considerations, even though he blames Congress for its instigation of Hunter’s problems. Biden’s DOJ is influenced by politics? Who knew? Who testified under oath that DOJ wasn’t influenced by politics?
Hunter committed hundreds of crimes, but was selectively prosecuted for only a handful. They don’t want anyone to dig deeper.
Well, how did Joe know about these crimes? Did he have someone did deeper? No need to—Hunter whispered into his left ear.
I would expect Milhouse to respond by saying that is totally wrong. It was his right ear.
Wouldn’t it be a welcomed and wonderful improvement to the LI website if a feature of tab was added that allowed a user to block obnoxious and unlikeable commenters?
Like you?
What he said in the pardon announcement was that the DOJ itself had no animosity and was the soul of impartiality and justice, but that the evil and vindictive Republicans forced the prosecutor to bring the charges. It was they who caused the perfectly fair and reasonable plea deal to fall apart, and thus forced the current situation over the honest and upright DOJ’s objections.
So he gets to have it both ways. It was a political prosecution, but the DOJ is professional and trustworthy.
Of course the only ones even pretending to buy it are the Dems.
Time to bait Hunter with a hooker and blow…then throw the book at him.
That’s easy to do. It’s a great idea, and watch; it just could happen.
The tactic here is to prosecute Hunter the same way the Democrats prosecuted Trump: on the state level, using state prosecutors who are in the bag for the party. A presidential pardon does not cover state crimes.
I’ve been thinking about that for a long time. The chances are probably slim Hunter did any dirt in a location that isn’t totally controlled by a deep blue prosecutor/Attorney General (New York, California, Delware, etc). The one possible exception is the child support case which is in Arkansas (IIRC). Usually, when going through child support litigation, there is a BOATLOAD of documentation that needs to be completed upon pain of perjury, including detailed financial records. There might be a lie or two buried in those documents worth exploiting.
eugyppius in Germany assembles the receipts: all the videos promising that Joe will not pardon Hunter: https://www.eugyppius.com/p/biden-pardon-open-thread
Booger, that was supposed to be a top level comment.
I believe I read somewhere perhaps here … that if you accept a pardon
and are then questioned about anything you where pardoned for
you no long have 5th amendment
protection and can be jailed for contempt.
Yes. Same as if you are acquitted. Of course Hunter will rely on “I don’t recall, I was on drugs at the time.”
Is hunter biden the poster boy for white privilege now?
Dems are so bogus.
I’m betting it won’t be long before Hunter reoffends. It’s his nature.
Babylon Bee reports Biden was forced to issue another pardon after Hunter went out and committed 17 more crimes overnight:
“I am hereby issuing a full pardon for my son, Hunter… again. Listen folks… everybody makes mistakes. Hunter is the finest and most intelligent man I’ve ever known. Spending the entire night after receiving a pardon celebrating with a dozen ladies of the night and a mound of cocaine the size of a snow bank doesn’t change that. To my knowledge, Hunter making multiple phone calls to foreign entities to offer discounts on influence for the remainder of my term isn’t… it’s not… he didn’t do anything… nothing he did was… it’s all fine. Anyway…”
Whenever this spokesnegress says she is being very clear, you can be sure that you are being presented with a pile of fetid poop.
Since when did cringe Jean Pierre not fail?
he was always lying about it. No one should be surprised that he pardoned Hunter.
It’s also not like Joe Biden is the one making the decisions. He just does what he’s told by Jill and she wanted the pardon for family comity reasons, if nothing else, so Joe did it.
KJP missed her chance to say, “Honter was pardoned for reasons of equity. We are letting Blacks rob stores like crazy with no consequences. We have to cut an occasional White robbing the government by not paying taxes some slack.”
Here I thought that Penski was the worst a Press Secretary could be, but leftis just love to prove me wrong.
Raggedy Ann is in a bit of a pickle. MSNDC is on the chopping block. CNN has a real conservative to push back at the libs. The lsm has their broadcasting licenses to worry about. Where is she going to cash in after her gig is up? She may have to move in with Ellen and Portia in merry olde England.
They would definitely be tempted to have a housemaid.
Its not just that every answer she gives is a Lie.
Its that she puts zero effort into it. Or, more likely, lacks the intelligence to come up with a decent Lie.
Her lies are so transparent.
If this were deliberate, rather than a product of her colossal stupidity, it would be insulting. Like she thought that literally everyone was so dim that they’d actually believe what she’s spewing.
