In a last-minute act that could only be described as family loyalty, former President Joe Biden threw five pardons at his relatives like confetti on his way out of the White House. Not surprisingly, the chosen ones didn’t include his infamous son, Hunter, but rather Biden’s brother James and his wife Sara, sister Valerie and her husband John, along with brother Frank. Each was reportedly caught up in more than a few influence-peddling schemes, echoing the business model of their beloved Hunter. To some, this may look like more than just a family reunion; it resembles a family cartel.
Rep. James Comer, the determined Republican from Kentucky and current chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is not one to celebrate the dubious acts of the Biden clan. This week, Comer vented his frustrations on The Drill Down podcast, revealing he has been gathering an arsenal of evidence linking the Biden family to shady dealings for quite some time now. His recently released best-selling book, All the President’s Money, lays out a comprehensive storyline regarding the family’s alleged dirty laundry, highlighted by testimony, subpoenaed records, and the insightful investigations of others like Peter Schweizer.

Comer was blunt when it came to the potential fallout from these pardons. He cast doubt on their ability to provide a legitimate escape route for the Biden family, especially as he pondered whether the Trump administration is serious about holding the Bidens accountable for their actions. With the Department of Justice lying in wait, Comer raised a veritable buffet of possible charges that could be served to the Biden clan, ranging from violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act to good old-fashioned money laundering. The IRS whistleblowers who had come forward had painted a picture so dire it would make even the most hardened criminal blush.
In a particularly revealing segment, one host raised the question of whether these pardons were meant to shield Biden family members from any future prosecution. Comer was not shy in declaring that these pardons looked suspiciously like a preemptive strike, an implicit acknowledgment of their ulterior motives—tax evasion and money laundering at a scale that would make even the most seasoned crook nod in approval. Additionally, such a sweeping pardon could prevent family members from pleading the Fifth during future testimonies, leaving them vulnerable to potential exposure.
There’s also speculation surrounding potential horse-trading behind the scenes. Some believe the Biden family, ever wary of scrutiny, may have orchestrated financial negotiations to convince Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 race. This theory piqued Comer’s interest as he didn’t dismiss the possibility of further legal implications, suggesting that the Bidens have consistently found themselves on the wrong side of the law and may have crossed more than a few red lines.
Meanwhile, Peter Schweizer, the investigative genius, painted an unsettling picture of the Bidens’ power struggles and deals. He speculated that after that cringe-inducing debate against Donald Trump, when calls for his resignation circulated, Joe Biden held on long enough to negotiate some hush-hush deals—perhaps with cash sweeteners from Democratic donors. If nothing else, this storyline only strengthens the perception that while the Bidens may have a knack for political resilience, they also seem to have an innate talent for financial entanglements that leave little room for moral high ground.
