The impeachment would not have occurred if Zelenskyy had simply said, "Understood Mr. President. I will have our DOJ pick up where the prior prosecutor left off after Biden had him fired."

But now that it has happened, the Trump haters/Biden protectors who orchestrated the Impeachment must be punished, and the Impeachment must be removed from the record.

🚨U.S. President Joe Biden AVOIDED the usual DOJ procedures and protocols when pardoning his son Hunter.

REMEMBER THIS. REFER BACK TO JOE's "streamlining", when President Trump doesn't do things in a way the pinheads feel he should. (i.e. When he declassifies documents without asking underlings for their approval.)



That is a great point and that is why the Legacy media needs to be shut out of the whitehouse press corp. This type of hypocracy goes largely unnoticed because the news cycles run so fast and in short durations that by the time you call the Legacy media out it is long gone from anyone's memory.

The judge in Hunter’s tax evasion case is pissed about the pardon, and rightfully so.

He writes…

“For example, the President asserts that Mr. Biden "was treated differently" from others "who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions," implying that Mr. Biden was among those individuals who untimely paid taxes due to addiction. But he is not. In his pretrial filings, Mr. Biden represented that he "was severely addicted to alcohol and drugs" "through May 2019." (Disputed Joint Statement of the Case 4, ECF No. 152.) Upon pleading guilty to the charges in this case, Mr. Biden admitted that he engaged in tax evasion after this period of addiction by wrongfully deducting as business expenses items he knew were personal expenses, including luxury clothing, escort services, and his daughter's law school tuition.”

Then the judge takes aim at Biden’s attempt to immunize Hunter from future legal woes…

“Subject to the following discussion, the Court assumes the pardon is effective and will dispose of the case.
The Supreme Court long has recognized that, notwithstanding its nearly unlimited nature, the pardon power extends only to past offenses. See Ex parte Garland, 71 U.S. 333, 380 (1867) ("[The pardon power] extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after
conviction and judgment." (emphasis added)).
The clemency warrant pardons Mr. Biden "[fJor those offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024," including the charges prosecuted in this case. (Reply Ex. A (emphasis added).)
The President signed the pardon on December 1, 2024. (Id.) Because the period of pardoned conduct extends "through" the date of execution, the warrant may be read to apply prospectively to conduct that had not yet occurred at the time of its execution, exceeding the scope of the pardon power.
Under the canon of constitutional avoidance, the Court declines to interpret the warrant”

YEP...He's ANGRY!

The federal judge overseeing Hunter Biden’s tax case issued a sharp rebuke of President Biden’s claims his son was unfairly prosecuted in new court filings Tuesday night.

U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi said that President Biden’s statement announcing a full and unconditional pardon of his son stands “in tension with the case record” in Hunter Biden’s California proceedings.

President Biden asserted in the statement that “no reasonable person who looks at the facts of (Hunter Biden’s) case can reach any other conclusion than (Hunter Biden) was singled out because he is (the president’s) son.” But Scarsi, a Trump appointee, notes that two federal judges “expressly rejected” the younger Biden’s legal arguments that he was unfairly prosecuted.

“The President’s own Attorney General and Department of Justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charges,” Scarsi wrote. “In the President’s estimation, this legion of federal civil servants, the undersigned included, are unreasonable people.”

Scarsi further castigated President Biden for claiming his son “was treated differently” than others who paid their taxes late due to addiction, when in his guilty plea, Hunter Biden admitted he engaged in tax evasion after he regained sobriety.

JOE BIDEN's ONGOING ACTIONS are further proof that the U.S. President has the authority to do almost anything he wants to do...regardless of protocols, rules, image, etc..

REMEMBER THE ABOVE AFTER 1/20/2025.
