Government Accountability Institute Vice President Eric Eggers joined Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on Blaze News Tonight this week to discuss President Joe Biden’s unprecedented, sweeping 11-year pardon of embattled First Son Hunter Biden.
“Eric, what went through your mind when you saw this news come out last night? Like the rest of us?” Savage asked Eggers.
“Let’s be clear. This isn’t a pardon. This is a decade’s worth of salvation and forgiveness … This is maybe the greatest act in the history of not just presidents, but fathers,” Eggers said. “I feel bad that I’m not going be able to do something similar for my own son one day. Hopefully, he won’t need it. This is also an affront to the integrity of our democracy.”
Eggers continued: “It’s just the latest admission that Joe Biden and the Biden Administration have been lying to the American people for the last four years. It started in the fall of 2020 when the FBI worked in conjunction with Big Tech to help suppress the accountability of the Hunter Biden business dealings in the first place, which allowed Joe Biden to become president so he could later pardon Hunter Biden.”
“But they’ve been lying about it every step of the way. And I think it just makes you now, for the first time, fully see just how corrupt the Biden business scheme has been,” Eggers said.
President Biden — and the Biden White House — repeatedly claimed that there would be no pardon for Hunter Biden.
From The BBC:
In an interview with ABC in June, when asked whether he had “ruled out a pardon” for his son, Biden replied: “Yes.”
Biden also told reporters at a G7 summit in June: “I said I’d abide by the jury decision, and I will do that. And I will not pardon him.”
As recently as 7 November – just two days after Donald Trump clinched his return to the White House – Biden administration officials were still insisting that the president had no intention of pardoning his son.
But many pundits and politicians — and even President-elect Donald Trump, himself, insisted that Joe Biden would ultimately pardon his son.
Back in October, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin asked Donald Trump about pardoning Hunter Biden.
“I wouldn’t do anything that would be over in terms of Hunter. It’s a sad situation,” Trump responded.
“I’ll bet you the father probably pardons him, let’s see what happens, but he’s a bad boy, there is no question about it,” Trump added.
