Hunter Biden's Pardon Begins on a Very Specific Date That Was 'Surely Not Chosen at Random'

Trust President Joe Biden to reserve his most questionable act — both as a father and a leader — for the closing chapter of his presidency.

In true lame-duck fashion, Biden, with little more than a month left in his term, issued a blanket pardon late Sunday for his embattled son, Hunter Biden. It’s almost as if Biden, with nothing to lose, decided to pull one last controversial move before bowing out.

(As a side note, the timing of this announcement — late on a holiday weekend when public attention is limited — speaks volumes about Joe Biden's reluctance to face the inevitable backlash head-on.)

Notably, this isn’t a pardon tied to a specific conviction or charge. Instead, it’s a sweeping, all-encompassing pardon that covers Hunter Biden for anything and everything he could potentially face legally.

Even Politico, a left-leaning outlet, acknowledged the magnitude of this act, comparing it to Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon — a historical parallel that’s hard to ignore.

Ironically, the left often tries to paint Donald Trump with a Nixonian brush, yet here we have a Democratic president issuing a pardon of Nixon-like proportions for his own son.

The specific timeline covered by this pardon is particularly revealing. If there was any question about the elder Biden’s motives, it’s worth scrutinizing the carefully selected period it spans.

As Politico pointed out, “The starting date of Jan. 1, 2014, in the Biden pardon was surely not chosen randomly: Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company, in April 2014, while his father was vice president. Republicans have accused the younger Biden of illegally profiting off his position on that board.”

Republicans have also alleged that Joe Biden, referred to as the “Big Guy,” directly benefited from this alleged profiteering. If these accusations hold any weight, Joe Biden has plenty of reasons to use a pardon to shield both himself and his son.

The timing didn’t go unnoticed, especially on social media. Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro highlighted the pardon’s suspicious dates without needing to elaborate further, letting the implications speak for themselves.

Meanwhile, reporter Greg Price described the timing as “truly incredible,” remarking, “You can’t make it up.”

Indeed, there’s no need to fabricate anything when the actions speak so loudly.

President Biden’s track record has been rife with criticisms — from his leadership and policies to his personal life as a father and grandfather. This latest move doesn’t exactly improve his legacy.

As a father, it’s natural to want to protect your child, no matter their age. But Hunter Biden is no child. He’s an adult and a father himself. There’s a point where enabling and shielding becomes detrimental, not only to the individual but to the principle of accountability itself.

This trend of infantilizing adults, championed by the far left, often results in avoidance of hard truths. Instead of fostering responsibility, it leads to actions like this all-encompassing pardon.

For Joe Biden, this pardon is more than a failure of leadership; it’s a personal failure as a father. Allowing his son to face the consequences of his actions would have been the tougher but far more honorable choice.

The fact that the pardon’s timeline conveniently overlaps with accusations that could implicate Joe Biden himself adds a layer of self-interest that’s hard to ignore. It’s the ultimate example of putting self-preservation above principle.

The countdown to Jan. 20 couldn’t feel more urgent.
