From her husband’s mental decline to the pardoning of her son, former first lady Jill Biden has moved from the historical to the fanciful.
is not even out yet — and she’s already trying to get it displayed on both the fiction and the non-fiction shelves. , the former first lady has moved from the historical to the fanciful.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote that “honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom” — but if her promotional interviews are any measure, that chapter appears to be entirely missing from “View from the East Wing: A Memoir. ”her former spokesperson , over her claim to CBS News that she thought her husband’s debate meltdown meant he might have been suffering a stroke.
The interviewer didn’t mention the fact that Biden famously declared at the time that her husband was brilliant in the debate, and denied he was showing signs of mental decline. While running for office, Biden and his staff repeatedlyWhite House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre became indignant and mocked reporters who continued to ask about a pardon after theNow Jill is saying the pardon was the obvious and right thing to do. After all, she insisted, “Then the Justice Department changed.
And I think that the process was not fair to Hunter. ”Just one problem: It was her husband’s Justice Department, and two different panels of jurors, who convicted Hunter. Indeed, even juries in the Bidens’ home state of Delaware and the heavily Democratic state of California declared him guilty. The only pending matter was his sentencing before the same judges that President Biden assured us would be allowed to resolve the cases.
Indeed, even after those convictions, the Biden administration declared that the president would not break his promise and pardon his son.grant controversial or self-serving pardonsHowever, none but Joe Biden had made the denial of such a pardon an issue in his presidential campaign, and none had repeatedly denied any possibility of it. Yet Jill Biden’s new claim shows the Bidens view the public as chumps and dupes who will blindly accept anything that the establishment gives them.
“I truly supported it,” she now insists, because “we just could not let our son go to jail on a charge that no one would go, I mean, no one has ever gone to jail for. ”Her son was convicted on nine tax evasion charges, in addition to multiple gun violations. Do the Bidens imagine the public will believe that no one has gone to jail for tax evasion?
What’s particularly galling is that Hunter Biden was allowed to escape charges forfederal crimes, including his alleged influence peddling that produced millions from foreign interests. President Biden notably pardoned his son for any crimes that he may have committed from “Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024. ” If the family was so afraid of retaliation by Trump, why didn’t Joe Biden pardon his son for all crimes except those for which he was convicted during his administration?
That would still have been an abuse of power, but it would at least have maintained the president’s promise to allow the prior cases to proceed without interference. Of course, Jill Biden is pitching this book to the same diehard base that spent years engaged in willful blindness over her family’s corruption and her husband’s decline.
After the pardon, the same Democrats who echoed Biden’s prior denials of the possibility of any pardon ran to the cameras to treat his turnaround as much ado about nothing. Sen. Dick Durbin , chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Senate majority whip, even called it a “labor of love.
” Polls found only two out of 10 citizens supported Biden’s pardon — but that 20% is precisely the target audience for this work of pure fantasy. All that’s missing are a Sorcerer’s Stone, talking White House portraits and a group of young Democratic wizards. Jill Biden’s book is scheduled to be followed by a book by Joe — just in time for the 2028 presidential campaigns.
Both appear to have ripped a page from the book of Winston Churchill, who said: “History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it. ” Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the New York Times best-selling author of “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution. ”
