Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons for his family members have sparked outrage and raised serious questions about corruption. Peter Schweizer, a government corruption expert, called these pardons a dangerous abuse of power. He said no president in history has ever given such broad immunity to so many family members.
The pardons covered six Biden relatives, including Hunter Biden, his siblings, and their spouses. Schweizer pointed out that the pardons specifically protect them from crimes dating back to 2014. That’s when the Biden family started making shady deals with foreign countries like China and Ukraine. Millions of dollars flowed into their bank accounts, but there’s no proof they provided any real services in return.
Legal experts say these preemptive pardons might not hold up in court. They argue you can’t pardon someone for crimes that haven’t even been charged yet. Schweizer warned this sets a terrible example. If presidents can wipe away any future crimes for their families, it opens the door to more corruption. Foreign governments could easily buy influence by paying off a leader’s relatives, knowing they’ll never face consequences.
Congressman James Comer and other Republicans vow to keep investigating. Schweizer said the pardons backfire by removing the Biden family’s right to plead the Fifth Amendment. Since they can’t be prosecuted, they might have to answer tough questions under oath. This could finally expose what deals Joe Biden made to enrich his family.
Schweizer also hinted at more suspicious activity. He believes Hunter Biden’s sudden move into the White House last year might have involved secret financial agreements. These could’ve been tied to Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race after his debate disaster. The pardons covering all of 2024 suggest the Bidens expected more scandals to surface.
This isn’t just about one family. Schweizer stressed that unchecked corruption threatens national security. If foreign powers see they can buy American politicians through their relatives, it puts the whole country at risk. The Biden pardons are a glaring example of putting personal gain above the law.
Conservatives argue this is why strong leadership matters. Allowing such abuses to go unpunished invites more lawlessness. The American people deserve transparency and accountability. Until the Bidens come clean about their foreign cash, trust in government will keep eroding.
The fight isn’t over. Schweizer urges Congress to push forward with investigations. The truth must come out, not for revenge, but to protect future generations from similar schemes. The Biden family’s actions show a pattern of putting profit over patriotism, and that’s a precedent we can’t afford to ignore.
