Now that the Biden Family Protector-in-Chief has pardoned his son Hunter for any and all crimes he may have committed over a period of 11 years, the Biden family and their friends and allies (and their attorneys, of course) are reportedly assuming a highly aggressive stance against any criticism.
The WASHINGTON POST ran a story on their “very public plan,” as described by Jonathan Turley, to target potential witnesses --- and even media, such as FOX NEWS --- concerning allegations of Biden family influence-peddling. To oh-so-subtly warn witnesses that they might face retribution, the Biden team, predictably, leaked news of a recent strategy meeting in California to their helpful scribes at WAPO. The paper even named specific witnesses they’d be targeting. This means you, John Paul Mac Isaac and Tony Bobulinski!
And guess who the host for this meeting was. Why, it was Hunter’s “sugar brother” Kevin Morris, whose name, thanks to Hunter’s pardon, is now back in the news (for this story and also another, which we’ll get to). Recall that Morris seemingly came out of nowhere when Joe was running for President, turning up at a Democrat fundraiser to befriend Hunter, pay his reported $20,000/month rent and other lavish expenses, retire his estimated $2.8 million IRS debt, pay out the wazoo for his trash art, and even produce a movie based on his sorry exploits as the son of a powerful politician. (Note: this documentary is reportedly complete; Biden is said to have previewed it as part of his post-pardon celebration.)
As a result of Morris’ amazing generosity and Joe’s all-inclusive pardon, Hunter will face no consequences, financial or criminal, for his actions during those 11 key years.
In Turley’s words, “Morris’ plan could easily be taken as a declaration of all-out war on potential witnesses against Hunter Biden,” particularly Bobulinski and Mac Isaac. “What’s most interesting about the [WAPO] piece is why the WASHINGTON POST was given such access and such a detailed account. But someone wanted this campaign to be public before the House can call any witnesses.”
Recall that Bobulinski was the business partner who managed foreign business deals and directly contradicted Joe Biden’s claim, which we now know was untrue, that he knew nothing about them. (If memory serves, he’s the one who first identified Joe Biden as “the Big Guy.”) He went public soon after Miranda Devine’s laptop story broke in the NEW YORK POST --- as in, before Election Day 2020 --- with an interview about this, but most media simply ignored him. Now, however, Bobulinksi’s testimony could provide a serious threat to Joe Biden in the coming House investigation in confirming the President’s knowledge and even his possible receipt of funds from the family’s deals.
Turley describes this move against Bobulinski as being “about as subtle as a two-by-four to the head.” To leak details of this meeting, Biden’s team chose a paper that is one of THE most pro-Biden newspapers in the country (even now, apparently). They only recently gave up on the “Russian disinformation” hoax and admitted that Hunter’s laptop was the real deal.
Of course, to create a wall of separation between this meeting and the White House (which is still, sadly and unbelievably, occupied by Joe Biden, even if he’s just sleeping there), WAPO’s article stresses that the effort behind it is “operating separately from the White House.” Sure, right, nudge-nudge, wink-wink. David Brock, the Media Matters founder described by Turley as “one of the most controversial and reviled Democratic operatives in Washington” and “the lowest common denominator” even of that crowd, said his organization is “following its own strategy,” not coordinating with the Hunter Biden team.
Brock has a new group, ironically called “Facts First USA,” which he himself has described as a “SWAT team” designed to “ensure that the media and public do not accept the false narrative that flows from congressional investigations.” I think we have a pretty good idea of where the false narrative will be originating.
Other groups joining forces to protect the Bidens from those evil (truth-seeking) Republicans include the “Congressional Integrity Project” (hahahahaha!!) which according to Turley plans to attack President Trump’s family. The CIP recently hired Jeff Peck, who goes way back with Joe Biden, having served as his chief of staff when Biden was a U.S. Senator pilfering classified documents from secure viewing locations.
As hard as this article tries to establish a wall of separation between these neutralizing efforts and the White House/DNC, the involvement of Biden’s own staff and allies certainly blurs the line. As Turley points out, “Targeting witnesses like Bobulinski could invite congressional investigators to look more closely at these groups and their funding.” (Let it be.) They also need to watch out in case benefactor Morris is called as a witness. But they’re being so publicly aggressive about this, they don’t seem to care.
Unless there’s something we don’t know about the ring of protection around Morris, he’s taking a real risk here. It occurs to us that Morris might be one of those who’d like a blanket pardon from Biden before he leaves office, but if Biden gives him one, Morris won’t be able to plead the Fifth before congressional committees and will be required to answer all questions truthfully or face charges of perjury. (Note: Hunter will, too.)
The Democrats are taking a similarly aggressive stance against Trump’s Cabinet nominees, particularly Kash Patel as FBI director. This is a quick must-read from Victor Davis Hanson…

RELATED: Chris Swecker, former FBI assistant director, appeared with Maria Bartiromo last Tuesday, saying this: “I know a broad criminal conspiracy when I see one, and the Bidens operated like a crime family --- lots of money moving through the international system, shell corporations, non-services, and family members were involved...So, yes, there’s a lot to protect here, and I expect to see more pardons.”
Be sure to see Maria’s interview with Miranda Devine on Sunday about “pre-emptive pardons” for the likes of Adam Schiff (who, thanks to Gavin Newsom, is joining the Senate today, two months earlier than we expected him to be inflicted on the Senate), Liz Cheney, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Lt. Gen. Mark Milley (who made secret phone calls to China during Trump’s first term in office). Devine expects Joe’s brother Jim to be on the priority list for a pardon, as he “was involved in a lot of the China grift with Hunter Biden.” Jim’s wife apparently signed checks to Joe Biden totaling $200,000 --- which happened to work out as 10 percent for “the Big Guy” --- adding the notation “loan repayment.”
Side note: Interesting comments here from Devine about Liz Cheney and her “untoward behavior” as co-chair of the House J6 Committee, concerning alleged collusion with witness Cassidy Hutchinson.

ALSO RELATED: We might not take this seriously if it came from anyone less esteemed than Victor Davis Hanson, but he suggested on Friday that First Son Hunter Biden was blackmailing his father as leverage for a presidential pardon. Hanson thinks Hunter resents having to do the “dirty work” for the family and probably threatened to testify against them.
AND THIS: Victoria Taft at PJ MEDIA wonders if Hunter Biden was being used by the CIA, which perhaps served as “the root of the poisonous tree of free-flowing money by a connected Hollywood attorney who had just barely befriended the out-of-control addict at a Joe Biden for President event in LA when he started cutting checks.” She makes a good case in this must-read piece.

ALSO, THIS: Mark Levin’s Sunday night monologue makes it very clear that the Bidens and their protectors in the so-called justice system have much to fear after all they’ve done. Imagine if it were Trump handing out blanket “pre-emptive pardons.”

Levin also interviews Jonathan Turley about his piece for THE HILL, “Pardon envy: Democrats vie to make the Biden pardon list.” Read it here…

And now to what we’ll call Hunter Biden Story #2, which you’ll see as it unfolds has a double meaning. Major sarcasm alert here...
In a story that surely no one, even the most cunning and worldly art investors, could have foreseen, the market for Hunter Biden’s stunningly beautiful and emotionally moving artwork has apparently collapsed. Gee, we’re not sure why, because the work of this artistic genius and son of an esteemed President has been universally acclaimed by experts and wildly praised by the public, but we do have a suspicion it might have something to do with the end of President Biden’s political career and the loss of his influence in DC. Surely that’s not it, though, because then we’d have to become cynical about the world of art investing, which of course is as honest and upright as any other network of financial transaction --- especially any such network involving the Biden family, which we’ve repeatedly been told by Democrats is above board in every way, and that’s good enough for us.
Some critics, who obviously knew nothing about fine art, said from the start that the sale of Hunter’s paintings was really just a cover for President Biden’s political allies to funnel money to him and his family. But it only looked that way because the main investors happened to be Hunter’s benefactor Kevin Morris and Democrat donor Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali. Can Hunter help it if wealthy Democrat donors have more sophisticated taste in art than other people?
And recall that there was a stringent arrangement in place to prevent Hunter from ever learning the identities of his art buyers. There was simply no way he could possibly have known who bought his paintings. Never mind that the gallery owner who was selling Hunter’s art did say Hunter knew who purchased the paintings that accounted for roughly 70 percent of his earnings, which according to congressional testimony totaled about $1.5 million.
Before Hunter attained such huge financial success as an artiste, he was already deep into this study. Apparently, he was practicing his painting before he could even afford PAINT. According to one story from a former landlord, when Hunter couldn’t afford to pay off his year of back rent, he scrounged up a spiral notebook and used his own, well, bodily excrement (sorry, but that’s why we had to call this “Story #2”) to create fine works of art with which to fulfill his financial obligation.
This was in 2019. Instead of remaining eternally grateful --- surely any work from Hunter would someday be worth millions --- this landlord, Shaun Maguire, has now gone public with the story. When Hunter’s attorneys denied it, he published photos of the “art” on social media. Yes, we looked; you REALLY, REALLY might not want to. But in case you really want to see a particularly grotesque (alleged) example of Hunter’s brilliance, here’s the link.

For a while, the Hunter team was threatening to sue those who discussed the Biden/Morris scandal. Jonathan Turley was among those targeted, but he continued to write about it and was never sued. We can’t verify Maguire’s story, but, as Turley points out, he “must have known about the litigious reputation of the Biden team when he decided to go public with this claim.”
We would point out that the veracity of this story could always be confirmed through DNA testing, if it came to that. Perhaps this is why there has been no inclination so far for the Biden legal team to make good on their threat.
