President Joe Biden spent years saying that “no one is above the law.” It has always been clear, though, that Biden thinks that statement doesn’t apply to him and his family.

Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter was entirely predictable. There might be no more obvious lie from a president in history than Biden’s repeated claims that he would not pardon his son, who was convicted on federal gun charges in June and pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges in September. The president went as far as to say that Hunter Biden was unfairly targeted for prosecution and that his convictions were a “miscarriage of justice.”
