U.S. Rep. Dale Strong (R-Monrovia) said he is not surprised about President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden and believes it might actually help Congress investigate the family’s corruption.
It’s no surprise Biden would pardon his son Hunter. The Biden family, the Democrat Party, and the deep state have never gone by the same rules as the rest of America. Once again, Biden’s repeated promises not to pardon his son were just more lies to the American people.

President Joe Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon on Sunday absolving his son Hunter of any offenses against the U.S. that he may have committed over the last ten years.

“But think about this pardon,” Strong said Monday on WVNN. “It might work in our favor, because when he pardons him, we can call him back before Congress, and I don’t believe he can invoke or take the fifth. So that means he would have to answer the questions, because that’s the thing, is, by getting the pardon, he cannot invoke the Fifth Amendment, is my understanding. So get ready. Which committee’s first?”
The President’s son was scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12 in the federal gun case in Delaware and on Dec. 16 in the tax evasion case in California.
Strong also commented on the sweeping nature of the pardon.
“[T]hat covers Burisma, but there’s more out there,” he explained. “There’s no doubt about it. You got the cocaine covered. You got the IRS covered. You got the weapon felony covered. Just go down the list. I’m sure he’s got a some other stuff out there.”
