Deep dives
The Biden Family Pardons
Joe Biden's last-minute pardons at the end of his presidency have raised serious concerns about potential misconduct within his family. Notably, several pardons were granted to family members, including his siblings and their spouses, just moments before leaving office. This timing has been interpreted as a deliberate effort to shield them from legal repercussions, with some receiving extensive federal immunity—longer than that given to Richard Nixon. The implications of these pardons suggest that there may be unreported criminal activity linked to these individuals beyond what is disclosed in public records.
Pardons and Political Connections
The pardons appear to have been influenced by the political connections and familial relationships within the Biden family, raising questions about ethical standards. Garrett Ziegler highlights that at least three of the pardoned individuals are closely connected to Joe Biden's political career, suggesting that their pardons were a protective measure rather than a reflection of innocence. The relationship dynamics within the Biden family, particularly Joe being the eldest sibling, further underscore the nepotism at play. This raises broader concerns about the use of political power to provide immunity from legal scrutiny.
RICO Implications and Family Operations
Garrett Ziegler describes the Biden family's operations as akin to a RICO conspiracy, wherein Joe Biden is characterized as the unindicted leader. Many of the family's business dealings, including campaign funds funneling into consulting firms managed by family members, suggest a systematic approach to leveraging political connections for financial gain. The acknowledgment of potential criminal conduct on the part of his siblings only deepens the scrutiny of Biden's leadership and their financial dealings. As evidence mounts, questions linger about how these actions align with federal laws regarding lobbying and financial transactions.
Potential for Future Legal Actions
Despite the pardons, the Biden family members may still face future legal challenges at the state level, particularly for crimes potentially committed prior to the pardons. Various jurisdictions, notably in blue states, could still pursue charges related to drug offenses and money laundering, given that local authorities are not bound by federal pardons. Discussions around the role of state AGs and local DAs highlight a potential gap in enforcement that could be exploited for accountability. As the conversation continues, the ability of the legal system to address these issues may hinge on local jurisdictions taking action, despite political affiliations.
Biden's last act as president was a fitting one: Sweeping pardons for every member of his corrupt, disgusting, criminal family. Garrett Ziegler talks about the legacy of the Biden crime family. Plus, Raheem Kassam joins to discuss the immigration crisis still unfolding in Britain, and the impact of Trump's cultural "vibe shift" across the Atlantic.
