Fritz Pettyjohn: Will Kamala pardon Biden Crime Syndicate?

As soon as he became President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed as President. President Kamala Harris could pardon not only Joe, but the whole Biden crime family.

The resignation would be best done before the November election. If Biden resigned after losing the election, and was then pardoned, it would like a quid pro quo, a deal they cut. But if Biden resigned in the next few weeks, and President Harris pardoned him shortly before leaving office on January 20, 2025, it would look like clemency, and a path out of the tawdry business of prosecuting your predecessor in office, a terrible precedent set by Biden himself.

I think this would appeal to all the criminals in the family. Biden could go out gracefully and be responsible for the first woman to become president, if only for a few months.  Hunter, especially, would like this.

Biden is an abandoned, broken man, a shell of his former self.  He’s no more capable of being President than he was of running a campaign.  All he has left is his pride.  His party wounded that pride by muscling him out of the nomination.  If necessary, they’ll force him out of office as well.  He should just resign, soon, for health reasons, as gracefully as possible.

President Harris, campaigning from the White house, flying around on Air Force One, would be a more credible candidate than she is now. This process, including hearings on her selection of a new Vice President, would dominate the news for weeks.  Attending to presidential duties would keep her off the campaign trail, limiting the chances of her reverting to her trademarked cackle.

This would best be done before the Democratic Convention, so Harris can deliver her acceptance speech as incumbent president of the United States.

Ain’t politics fun?

  1. Why would anyone assume she is being elected.

    My forecast: a sex tape released in October showing Kamala and PDiddy.

    • Glad I am not the only one wondering what he is talking about. “If Biden resigned after losing the election, and was then pardoned, it would like a quid pro quo, a deal they cut”. Trump is going to cut a deal? Even if Trump goes after Biden for crimes with the presidential immunity ruling Biden will probably have passed on before there ever is a trial.

      • “……….Trump is going to cut a deal?……..”
        Trump takes office two months after the election. Plenty of time to issue pardons. Thousands of them.

        • that is a good point. By resigning and accepting the pardon, Nixon was publicly acknowledging his guilt in the Watergate cover up. I do not see Biden acknowledging being guilty of anything needing of a pardon. Hunter yes but Joe no.

          • “……..I do not see Biden acknowledging being guilty of anything……..”
            Nor will you. But you might see a new Trump AG seek to prove him guilty of a few things after January. Much of the evidence has already been collected.

  2. Since he’s done nothing to be pardoned for he has nothing to worry about. Show me the indictments. Heck, if Jim Jordan and his ridiculous impeachment inquiry have come to a big nothing burger. If Jordan had the goods to impeach, he would have done it by now.

    The author does understand that just because one person or a million people SAY he did something illegal, that doesn’t provide any evidence that he did, right? Right??

    • As Special Counsel Robert Hur explained, “at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Hur went on “it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

      Having done nothing to be pardoned for and not being charged are two clearly different things, and it strains the bounds of credulity to assert otherwise.

  3. I’m actually surprised his party didn’t knock him
    Off. Course it isn’t over yet. For 3 years we have had the man with the nuclear code walking around like a moron with his corrupt handlers directing his every move. Shame on all of them. Incompetent people leading incompetent people. What possibly could go wrong.

  4. Agree. Timing is the key to Harris dominating the news cycle.
    My guess is it will be after the August convention. Biden’s resignation could replace any Chicago convention chaos in the news cycle, keeping Harris on the “top fold” of the news.
    I even think they will reinvent her swearing in ceremony to include a full inauguration parade – even if that isn’t the normal process.
    Dominating the news not only keeps Harris on top of the polls, it maximizes Trump’s ability to make some outrageous statement in an effort to regain his post assassination attemp news position, that D’news will use against him.
    Fun!

  5. Of course, she will! Probably part of the deal to get Sloppy Joe to leave the presidential campaign.

  6. What “Biden Crime Family Syndicate?”

    The only person in that family that has been charged and/or convicted is Hunter, and he should suffer the consequences of his actions. Just like the former President Trump

    • “………The only person in that family that has been charged and/or convicted is Hunter……..”
      That could easily change after Trump is sworn in and he appoints a new Attorney General. What, do you think that somehow, magically, only Demonrats can wage lawfare? Is it like that age old story about God and Satan talking about a lawsuit, and Satan asking God where He was going to find a lawyer?

    • This one, easily searchable.
      The United States House Oversight Committee investigation into the Biden family is an ongoing investigation since January 2023 by the United States House of Representatives into US President Joe Biden and his family.

    • As Special Counsel Robert Hur explained, “at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Hur went on “it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

      Having done nothing to be pardoned for and not being charged are two clearly different things, and it strains the bounds of credulity to assert otherwise.

    • Anchorage Voter:
      What planet do you reside? Beyond Pluto?
      The Biden’s have been lying, cheating, obstructing justice, peddling outside influence, accepting foreign brives, and stealing money for decades.
      Their cover is the media and the DOJ, which they currently own. Drink more coffee and read more honest reporting.

  7. I didnt know joey died or stepped down. Kinda hard for the giggler to pardon someone when shes not the potus.

  8. Correction: It’s the Biden Crime Family, not unlike the O’Bama or Clinton Crime families. Biden is the weakest long term and he will pardon himself and members of his crime family on his way out the door. Cheers –

  9. “……..If Biden resigned after losing the election, and was then pardoned, it would like a quid pro quo……..”
    I don’t think they care, especially after a Trump win. Looking like a criminal (they already do) in freedom beats prison.

  10. I do not want Biden to resign. Even if his handlers have to physically prop him up and move his mouth with strings for another six months. The last thing this country needs is for that insane person to become president, even if just for a few minutes. One of the most dangerous people to ever get that close to the presidency, she would wreak havoc with a flurry of executive orders and telephone calls to (her friends) our enemies.

  11. This misses the point entirely. Biden and Company will not need an executive pardon. Nothing they have done by peddling their Biden Brand will land them in court. Nor will it be dealt with by any legislative committee. They’ll huff and they’ll puff but nothing is going to blow down the Biden house of cards.
