Are the Hunter Biden Convictions a Set Up for a Presidential Pardon?

 Hunter Biden was convicted this morning on all three felony charges he faced. However, some people believe that the charges are a smokescreen to corruption charges. Virginia Allen, senior new producer for The Daily Signal, discussed the Hunter Biden case with Mike Howell, investigative columnist for The Daily Signal, and Howell shared the following information. 

“What’s happening with Hunter [Biden] is essentially they picked the lowest level thing that didn’t connect to [President] Joe [Biden], the thing they could paint in the light of addiction, the most sympathetic light, as a means to absolve him for guilt in everything else,” says Howell, executive director for the Oversight Project at The Heritage Foundation.


“What the American people really care about, what I care about, is not that Hunter [Biden] was a crackhead,” Howell, also an investigative columnist for The Daily Signal, said, but “the corruption in the federal government, that Joe Biden and his family were running an international pay-to-play influence-peddling scheme in some of the most corrupt regions of the world, to include Ukraine and the [Chinese Communist Party].”

During the podcast, Howell called the Hunter conviction to be a fix – “the fix has been in for some time here.”  The Biden family is being investigated by House committees for corruption, and the Hunter conviction was meant to take the heat off Joe. Howell explained that the situation with Hunter “is, essentially, they picked the lowest-level thing that didn’t connect to [President Joe Biden], the thing they could paint in the light of addiction, the most sympathetic light, as a means to absolve him for guilt and everything else.” He continued:

What the American people really care about, what I care about, is not that Hunter was a crackhead, not that he was a crackhead that got his dead brother’s wife addicted to crack cocaine. She’s the one who found the gun and got rid of it. All that’s immaterial.


What’s material is the corruption in the federal government, that Joe Biden and his family were running an international pay-to-play influence-peddling scheme in some of the most corrupt regions of the world, to include Ukraine and the [Chinese Communist Party], our enemies in the CCP and other corrupt regions.


And what happened in this arc, starting from a year ago when we were in federal court, … the same federal court, by the way, that he just got convicted in, David Weiss, the prosecutor, same prosecutor here, tried to give Hunter a plea deal; Accept liability for the gun and tax stuff and we’ll pardon you for all this other stuff that connects back to Joe and the corruption that the American people are upset with. We sniffed that out, got it blown up.


And so here they’re back at the drawing board today, convicting him of the gun charge, but still no movements on the things that American people care about. And what this sets up for, not only the misinformation that the law is being applied evenly in this country, but for a pardon of Hunter.


They pick this sympathetic thing, … you can wrap in addiction and all those things, and you cannot connect to Joe. And it sets up Joe for a pardon of Hunter, a pardon that will not only be for this charge, but for all the things connecting not only back to Joe and his family, but to, the thing I’m even more concerned about than the Bidens, is the intelligence community and law enforcement who sat there and watched this corruption happening in plain sight. Not only did nothing but hid it and then used every tool at the disposal of the awesome force of the U.S. government and even some other governments to go after President Trump, which you’re still doing today.


And so, this is not a both sides thing, this is corruption.

Allen and Howell went on to discuss the Oversight Project at The Heritage Foundation and how it showed last July that the Justice Department and the attorneys for Hunter Biden were trying to use a plea deal to hide all the corruption.

The DOJ had to give up the idea of a plea deal, and Hunter Biden was convicted on three counts. However, Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden, has the power to pardon Hunter, which would make all the convictions go away.
