President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter, for anything he may have done over the last ten years. It should be noted that Hunter has only been tried and convicted of tax evasion and gun charges. So clearly this pardon is designed to protect Hunter from additional crimes not yet publicly disclosed or even investigated, some of which allegedly involve actions taken by Joe Biden.

The problems are so obvious that even the left-wing networks are concerned. In addition, the timing of this is suspect. Why now? Why not just before leaving the office?

Something is happening that made the need for a pardon urgent. Hunter’s pending sentencing would seem to qualify, but odds are his lawyers could have gotten, another, delay. Some have speculated that Joe Biden is planning on resigning early and that might be the reason. That seems unlikely for two reasons. One is that Joe Biden is angry at Kamala Harris and it seems unlikely he wants her to become President, even for a few days. He should also be deeply concerned over the amount of damage she could do to the country.

This leads one to conclude that something else is going on. Perhaps Joe Biden got an offer he couldn’t afford to turn down. For example, what if Hunter Biden sent a message saying he couldn’t do jail time and if necessary, he would start singing like a canary.

Another may be Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental health. Joe Biden’s mental decline is becoming more evident at every public appearance. There is risk that he will lose the ability to pardon anyone.

Under Section 4 of the 25^th Amendment, if the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House a written declaration that Joe Biden is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, then Kamala Harris would immediately become Acting President.

This would only change if Joe Biden were to give a written declaration that no inability exists. Then Kamala Harris and the cabinet would have four days to transmit another written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. At that point, congress would have to assemble with 48 hours. Congress would then have 21 days to vote on the issue. It would require a two thirds vote by both the House and the Senate to remove the President.

Obviously, this would make it much more difficult for Joe Biden to pardon his son or anyone else. It would also make issuing such a pardon subject to legal review.

All of this seems bizarre and ridiculous but watching Joe Biden pretend to be President of the United States is already bizarre and ridiculous. It is also difficult to believe that Kamala Harris has much, if any, support by the cabinet.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!

Pardon me if I am not impressed.
