Hunter Biden’s last-ditch effort at a guilty plea has raised eyebrows and questions surrounding the philosophy of accountability—especially in the Biden household, where it seems to be lacking. Hunter decided to switch his legal strategy faster than a politician changes their stance during an election cycle, a move that some are chalking up to an expectation of a golden ticket from “the big guy” himself. The thinking goes that if you can’t get a jury to overlook your misdeeds, have Dad swoop in to wipe the slate clean.
The drama unfolded as Hunter, initially resistant to admitting any guilt, suddenly flipped his script once the trial got underway. This change in tactics prompts speculation that Hunter is banking on his father’s well-documented propensity to play favorites. It’s a classic “cry victim” scenario that has defined the Biden family’s dealings for ages, and it fits right in with the old adage—rules are for the little people. After years of dodging any real accountability for his many questionable financial dealings, Hunter’s legal dance is reminiscent of someone trying to outrun a slow-moving train.

For years, while mainstream media has glossed over the Bidens’ less-than-savory business activities in places like Ukraine and China, right-leaning outlets diligently uncovered the family’s sordid dealings. Just last week, as Hunter prepared for his day in court, prosecutors hinted at presenting evidence concerning his foreign lobbying activities in Romania. Awkwardly omitted, however, were charges for unregistered foreign lobbying, a glaring example of the cushy treatment the Bidens appear to receive. It’s almost as if there’s an unwritten rule that members of the “in-crowd” get to brush past critical legal issues while the rest of America would serve a hard time for a fraction of the same misdeeds.
As one might expect, the liberal media’s response to Hunter’s plea is to focus on how hard it must be for poor ol’ Joe Biden, whose heart rates jump at the thought of a trial threatening to unravel his tightly woven family narrative. After promising not to pardon his son, one can only wonder if Joe has had a change of heart since the campaign was wrapped. The clock is ticking, and as a lame-duck president with little left to lose, Joe’s options may be leaning toward a paternal rescue mission to avoid any significant blowback for him or his family.
While Hunter faces a potential 17-year stint for tax violations—a penalty that sounds more like a plot from a low-budget crime drama—he’s more likely to receive a slap on the wrist. Nothing says “justice” quite like a familial intervention when the stakes rise. The ink on Hunter’s guilty plea could dry, but the curtain on the Biden family’s narrative may not close anytime soon. After all, with a history steeped in opaqueness and self-interest, there’s little reason to think they’ll embrace a newfound sense of responsibility. As the waters of political obligation get murky, a pardon looks not just likely but almost inevitable, ensuring another chapter in the book of Biden family shenanigans remains unwritten.
