White House addresses Hunter Biden pardon, potential preemptive clemencies

The White House held its first press briefing Friday since President Biden pardoned his son Hunter and as he considers blanket preemptive pardons for some prominent critics of President-elect Donald Trump. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she would not "get ahead of the president" and added Mr. Biden was reviewing "other pardons and commutations."

Karine Jean-Pierre has been the most deceitful and deceptive press secretary in this nation’s history

Admitting they're criminals without admitting they're criminals.

[melindamachado]

Then why is he making him exempt for 11 years. What else did he do?

[jonbratcher]

The only thing he wrestled with was sleep. We all knew he was going to pardon his son he just proved he's a liar.

[drdeath]

Why doesn't Biden come out and take questions on this himself?

[carlzobel]

Not cognitive enough to stand trial for his own crimes. But cognitive enough to pardon Hunter, and 1500 others. And he may not be done pardoning yet?

Her body language and manner of speaking says “we are so self-righteous, that we can lie and be dishonorable, and still believe to be morally superior than all of you”.

[waynehegland]

This little woman in red could be the biggest liar in

[digginholes]

She is unwatchable. You know that all you will get is BS from her.

[cileukl]

"He wrestled with this" doesn't constitute an answer for why he needed an 11 year sweeping pardon

[nickscott]

Ready for her to leave office!!!
She's the biggest habitual liar!!!!

[sojufett]

11-year, blanket pardon for anything and everything? Yeah … I used to respect Biden. Not anymore. Not that he would care.

[dorothyahlswede]

The concept of a "preemptive" pardon is not supported by precedents or common law.

[ICallItAsItIs]

Can't wait until I see less of this lying DEI-hire.

[craptacular]

That must have been such a difficult decision... the gangster boss deciding whether or not to pardon his gangster son.

[smalugin]

Just amazes me how is she can stand there with a straight face and lie.

[Jose_Barrera]

Is that the same poll that told you Kamala was gonna win?

[robertbarnhill]

How can you pardon someone if they've never been charged with anything?

[earthstar]

I never support violence but in light of recent health care events I think it's in everyone's best interest to go to trial instead of getting off scott free. It's a mad world, a mad and crazy world. The general public have had enough and the people without their own morals are starting to enact Texas justice. A pardon could be doom.

[holysmokes]

As a former Democrat ( former as in the last 5 or so years) this administration is utterly nauseating and pathetic.
“Protecting Democracy!”
What a sad joke.
