To no one’s surprise—go stand in a corner if you were—Joe Biden went back on his «word as a Biden» and pardoned the family bagman, his 54-year-old son Hunter, for crimes he committed from 2014-2024. That ten-year retrospective pardon covers a lot of crimes, many of which we’ll go through below. The pardon is breathtaking in its scope. Usually, someone serves some time for a crime, and then a president commutes a sentence and pardons the person for the reasons they’re in the slammer. Not so here. Far from it. Hunter hasn’t been sentenced yet. He likely wouldn’t have done prison time. But there’s an entire universe of crimes on Hunter Biden’s laptop that he committed for the family business, the product of which was access to and favors from Joe Biden. As former federal prosecutor and former congressman Trey Gowdy asked Sunday night: Who’s the pardon for, Hunter or Joe? The answer is both.
In 2023, remember, Hunter’s attorneys on his tax evasion and gun crime cases were negotiating a plea deal and presented a Delaware judge a deal that included immunity for any future crime he may commit. Had she granted that motion, we might be looking at a man who could have committed murder in the middle of 5th Avenue next year and never suffered the consequences.
The Report on the Hunter Biden Laptop, from which I’ve been culling information for stories for our VIP readers, used cyber experts and law enforcement to verify it was his and used the 200 gigabytes of information to recreate Hunter’s legal and illegal business arrangements, tax crimes, and his drug and hooker-filled sessions. If you have a problem with the latter kind of activity, do yourself a favor and please don’t look at the laptop. It’s X-rated.

Salacious stuff aside, entries from Hunter’s forgotten laptop—he’d lost three in 2019 and lost his phone 57 times, according to the Report—showed that the Biden family bagman had entries, mostly emails, that went back to 2009.
It’s important to mention here that the FBI sat on the existence of Hunter’s laptop for one year and silently watched 51 intelligence community people claim that whatever the New York Post was reporting looked like Russian disinformation before the 2020 election. The FBI information operation included leaking stories claiming that Rudy Giuliani, a former Southern District of New York federal prosecutor and mayor of New York, was a Russian stooge because he talked about information on the laptop. For the record, Giuliani, ever the law-and-order guy, was instrumental in getting the laptop into the FBI’s hands. Unfortunately for Giuliani, he was a Trump supporter and therefore needed to be squashed.
As if the election interference and misconduct weren’t enough, the FBI got the tech and media worlds involved in its cover-up operation.
