by R. Cort Kirkwood, The New American:
President Joe Biden’s reason for pardoning his son for 10 full years of crimes and likely crimes has infuriated two critics of wildly disparate political views.
Biden said he pardoned Hunter because the legal cases against him were a politically motivated “witch hunt” that was unfair and downright mean. And it was a hunt only launched because Joe Biden is president.
Conservative Megyn Kelly and honest leftist Stephen A. Smith say that claim is a dog that just won’t hunt.

Kelly roasted Biden by telling her audience about her sister’s addiction that left a mark on her life forever, something that won’t happen to the Boy Wonder of Global Commerce and Industry.
Speaking to Chris Cuomo on his NewsNation program, Smith said Biden should have simply said that he wouldn’t permit his son to land in prison, and leave it at that. People would understand. And Trump, he said, has been the victim of a deranged send-him-to-prison witch hunt by the far left.
Cuomo himself: Biden should pardon Trump.
“Fuck you, Joe Biden, and your sob story about your rich, spoiled, presidential kid, Hunter Biden, and how he’s been singled out. Because I know I speak for millions of people who have an addict in their family, who did something they’re not proud of, who could never get out from… pic.twitter.com/7dk2EPBRys

Kelly’s Brutal Takedown
Claiming that most people who face the same gun and income-tax finagling charges that Hunter did don’t go to prison, Biden said he pardoned his son for one simple reason: The prosecutions were political.
“The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election,” Biden wrote:
Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the courtroom — with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.
No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son — and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter — who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me — and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.
In fact, the plea deal went south because the judge thought it was “atypical,” “not standard,” and “different from what I normally see.”
But that not insignificant fact aside, Hunter Biden got away with 10 years of self-dealing that enriched the Biden Mafia by some $24 million, most notably in connection with the Biden-Burisma influence peddling scheme and his helping Chinese Reds, through his father, compromise the Obama White House.
Discussing her sister’s addiction to oxycontin, a highly-addictive narcotic, Kelly explained the family gave her “a tough love period, where we weren’t helping her out of the jams that she was creating.” The sister then “found herself in the throes of the criminal law.”
