Former President Joe Biden said he was “concerned” about Donald Trump giving preemptive pardons to family members, according to a resurfaced interview from 2020 — before he went on to pardon his own son and siblings while doling out the highest number of presidential pardons and commutations in US history.  Biden is  a knowing liar.

       In a December 2020 interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Biden warned against then-outgoing President Trump issuing preemptive pardons to his adult children, his attorney Rudy Giuliani and possibly even one for himself before the Democrat’s Department of Justice took over.  “It concerns me in terms of what kind of precedent it sets and how the rest of the world looks (at) us as a nation of laws and justice,” Biden told Tapper during the joint interview with then-Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

     That concern, however, was short-lived, with the ex-commander-in-chief on Monday announcing the unprecedented decision to grant blanket, preemptive pardons to his siblings and their spouses, claiming his family had been “subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics.” “Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end,” he said.

     Biden was lambasted by both Republicans and Democrats last month after he pardoned his troubled son, 54-year-old Hunter Biden, who was convicted in September on federal gun charges and on federal tax evasion charges, after repeatedly promising he would not.  “By pardoning, it’s basically an admission of guilt, and it’s pretty outrageous,” Rep. Dan Meuser told The Post on Tuesday. “He stated he wasn’t going to do this. He stated he wasn’t going to pardon Hunter. He stated he had nothing to do with his son’s business. We know those were all lies.”
