Miranda Devine: If Joe Biden can pardon his son Hunter, why can’t he do the same for ‘best friend’ Devon Archer?

The shamelessness of the first family was writ large at the White House this week as the president’s final whirl of Christmas parties attracted social media “influencers” whose biggest thrill was posting selfies with celebrity nepotist Hunter Biden.
In the very week that he was due to be sentenced to jail for tax fraud, the first son merrily pressed the flesh and flashed his $70,000 pearly whites, secure in the knowledge that his father’s “full and unconditional” pardon has got him off the hook for any and all crimes committed for the past 11 years.
The outrage over Hunter’s pardon has been buried in an avalanche of other pardons Joe Biden has been doling out like candy to assorted scumbags.
Among this week’s record round of 1,499 commutations and 39 pardons are Chinese spies and a child-porn aficionado, a Pennsylvania judge convicted over the “Kids for Cash” scandal in which children were sent to for-profit prisons in return for kickbacks, a Mississippi cancer doctor who gave patients only partial doses of chemotherapy, assorted fraudsters and, appropriately, corrupt Democrat politicians.
It’s a fitting end to Biden’s benighted presidency.
But there are other people he ought to pardon whose lives have been ruined because they fell afoul of the Bidens.
