Leftists long have given evidence of their advocacy for extreme violence: Consider the billions of dollars in damages Antifa and Black Lives Matter inflicted on American cities following George Floyd's death.
Whole city blocks were torched, businesses destroyed, buildings incinerated, and people died.
Or their long record of rioting on university campuses with the goal of silencing speech and speakers with whom they disagree.
And now it's gotten worse: A new study reveals that "the unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk," is growing, and political violence against leftists' opponents is being "normalized."
A report at the Federalist explains the results are from the work of the Network of Contagion Research Institute in partnership with Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab.
That result is a finding that a broader "assassination culture" is "emerging within segments of the U.S.
It was not even a year ago that in two different incidents, assassins tried to take out President Trump, who then was a candidate for his second term in office. He was injured in one attack.
"These attitudes are not fringe – they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse," the report, "Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence," warns.
The report follows several others that explained how social media narratives "were legitimizing political violence, including assassination…"
The report states that 31% and 38% of respondents said it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively.
Musk is the head of the President's Department of Government Efficiency and has been working under Trump's instructions to find and eliminate waste, fraud, corruption, and criminality in the federal government's spending.
The report noted, "These effects were largely driven by respondents that self-identified as left of center, with 48% and 55% at least somewhat justifying murder for Elon Musk and President Trump, respectively, indicating significantly higher justification for violence against these figures."
Nearly 40% say it is "at least somewhat acceptable (or more) to destroy a Tesla dealership" in a protest, the report said.
Outright lobbying, and demands, for violence, are growing, the report said.
"In February, law enforcement officials charged 28-year-old David Allen June Cherry of southern Indiana with felony intimidation after police say he posted online multiple violent threats against Elon Musk, including that Cherry would 'gut' the close adviser to President Donald Trump. 'You've broken the law. You're on the hit list,' Cherry allegedly declared on the Musk-owned social media platform X, to a Musk post, according to an affidavit. 'You're robbing American people. We will gut you and parade your corpse in the streets,' the leftist allegedly menaced Musk a short time later."
Further, a man from Tennessee was upset with Trump and Musk and was arrested on charges of assembling explosives to "burn down" a Musk data center in that state, the report said.
There have been dozens of violent attacks on Tesla EVs, dealerships, and charging stations, too.
And, the Federalist notes, "While threats and acts of violence rise on the left, the silence from Democrats in power is deafening. But we've seen this movie before. Spoiler Alert: It doesn't end well for a lot of innocent people."
NCRI stated, "Unless political and cultural leadership explicitly confronts and condemns this trend, NCRI assesses a growing probability of real-world escalation. Given the current economic volatility and institutional distrust, the online normalization of political violence may increasingly translate into offline action."
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to New York's concealed carry ban for certain "sensitive locations," Breitbart reported. Monday's decision comes on the heels of another favorable ruling for gun control advocates last month.
The ban was enacted following the landmark 2022 Bruen decision that broadened Second Amendment protections for New Yorkers. The Concealed Carry Improvement Act outlaws guns in places like parks, entertainment establishments, churches, health care facilities, and others.
New York Attorney General Letitia James touted the ruling in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday. "We will always stand up for commonsense gun safety laws that protect New Yorkers and keep our communities safe," she wrote.
The Supreme Court has once again denied a request to hear challenges to New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act.
We will always stand up for commonsense gun safety laws that protect New Yorkers and keep our communities safe.https://t.co/6xNNEGby2D
— NY AG James (@NewYorkStateAG) April 7, 2025
The law was another route for the deep-blue states to restrict Second Amendment rights. With the Bruen decision, there was a danger that people in the Empire State could exercise their Constitutional rights, which made politicians uncomfortable.
According to the Associated Press, the law restricted not only where gun owners could carry weapons but also required proof that they were of "good moral character" to have a gun. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law with certain provisions struck down.
Gun rights advocates are rightly outraged that any part of the law was upheld. "While we are disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision not to take this case, we will never stop fighting to defend the rights of gun owners across the country," said Erich Pratt, Gun Owners of America senior vice president.
At least the Supreme Court's decision not to hear the case means the parts struck down are out for good, including requiring permission to carry on private property from the owner. "At least as to private property open to the public (the subject of this motion), New York's restriction is unconstitutional," U.S. District Court John Sinatra, Jr., a Trump appointee, wrote, according to Fox News.
"Regulation in this area is permissible only if the government demonstrates that the new enactment is consistent with the Nation's historical tradition of sufficiently analogous regulations. New York fails that test here," Sinatra wrote at the time.
The latest decision from the Supreme Court is perhaps part of a troubling trend. As The Hill reported, the high court recently upheld a law outlawing so-called "ghost guns."
In a 7-2 decision on March 26, the high court shockingly decided that these do-it-yourself gun kits would remain banned. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives enacted the regulation during President Joe Biden's administration.
"Future cases may present other and more difficult questions about ATF’s regulations. But we take cases as they come and today resolve only the question posed to us," Justice Neil Gorsuch said in his majority opinion.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, explaining they would have struck down the regulation entirely. "Congress could have authorized ATF to regulate any part of a firearm or any object readily convertible into one. But, it did not. I would adhere to the words Congress enacted," Thomas said in his dissenting opinion.
The court is heavily conservative, but these recent decisions are leaning towards gun control, typically favored by the leftists. At least parts of New York's law remain struck down by the lower court's decision.
Tiffany Trump, youngest daughter of President Donald Trump, revealed that she is having a baby boy, the UK Daily Mail reported. The 31-year-old expectant mother was honored Sunday with a baby shower hosted by her older sister, Ivanka Trump.
Tiffany Trump stunned in her elegant baby blue empire waist dress, which showed off her bump, at the Palm Beach celebration. In a post to Instagram, she shared that it was "one month" until the birth of the first child for her and her 27-year-old husband, Michael Boulos.
Donald Trump, then-presidential candidate, announced Tiffany Trump's pregnancy in October while recognizing her father-in-law, Massad Boulos, during a speech at the Detroit Economic Club. "He happens to be the father of Tiffany's husband, Michael, who's a very exceptional young guy," Donald Trump said.
"And she's an exceptional young woman. And she's going to have a baby. So that's nice," he added.
Ivanka Trump organized a beautiful baby shower for her sister and posted about the special day on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday. "This Sunday, I had so much fun hosting a Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower for my sweet sister Tiffany!" Ivanka Trump wrote.
"We showered her with love and had the best time celebrating her and baby-to-be! Every detail was inspired by Beatrix Potter’s world — from bunny tails to garden treats — to celebrate the little boy she’s about to welcome into her life," she added of the Peter Rabbit theme.
"It was the sweetest day — filled with so much love, laughter, and excitement for everything ahead. Tiff, you’re going to be the most wonderful mama," Ivanka Trump wrote to her sister in the post.
"Your baby boy is already so loved — and so lucky to have you! Love you," Ivanka Trump concluded. The post included photos of the sisters with Lara Trump, who is married to their brother Eric Trump, along with themed delicacies from the party.

Donald Trump is eager to meet his newest grandson, who will be grandchild number 11 for the 78-year 0ld president, Today reported. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., accounts for five of them.
The president's namesake and his then-wife Vanessa Haydon share Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe. Kai is a wonderful golfer like her grandfather and plays for the University of Miami. "I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support," Kai said when she first announced her commitment.
So far she is the most politically active Trump grandchild and spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention. "I’m speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don’t often see. To me, he’s just a normal grandpa," she added.
The president has three more grandchildren, Arabella, Joseph, and Theodore, from Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner. Finally, Donald Trump's son and daughter-in-law, Eric and Lara Trump, share children, Eric and Carolina.
The Trump family is a tight-knit bunch who clearly love and care for each other. Donald Trump is a blessed man to have nearly a dozen grandchildren, and the gender reveal was indeed a beautiful surprise for him.
An official from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said during an episode of the All In podcast that millions of migrants who entered the country illegally have found their way onto Medicaid rolls and many have been able to get Social Security cards.
Antonio Gracias explained on the podcast that migrants freed into the U.S. under Biden have been able to get work permits and Social Security cards, which in many cases allows them to get Medicaid and to vote.
A DOGE chart shows that during Biden's time in office, more than four million non-citizen Social Security cards were issued--more than two million of them were in fiscal year 2024.
“[Border Patrol] was giving people at times Notices to Appear [NTAs], and what that allows you to do is come in the country and then you’re scheduled a court date like six years out,” Gracias explained.
"So now you’re in the country with some quasi-legal status, you’re waiting for your court date, while you’re waiting for your court date — six years is the average by the way, it could be longer than that — you can fill out an asylum application, so without an interview, just an application … once that application is in, you can file another form, a 765 [form] to get work authorization, once you get that, you get a 766 which is the authorization and we automatically send you a Social Security card in the mail," he went on. "No interview, that is the majority of the growth you see in these numbers."
About a quarter of the migrants released into the U.S. were not even fingerprinted at the border, and there is no income verification when they apply for asylum and are sent a Social Security card.
This opens the door to massive entitlement fraud, voter fraud, and other types of fraud on a massive scale. Let's hope DOGE can do something about it before the entire system is useless.
“We mapped this through the benefit programs, we found every benefits program that is being accessed by these people, 1.3 million are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping up, it’s just starting,” Gracias said.
"We looked at voter rolls and we found that thousands are registered to vote in friendly states. And we looked even further in those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted," he continued.
"It was shocking to us. If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it … it is shockingly bad," he said.
Gracias said the issue went beyond politics.
"This is not a political issue, this is about America," he said.
When a country effectively loses its borders, can it even be called a country anymore?
Jay North fondly remembered for his starring role in the beloved 1960s sitcom "Dennis the Menace," has died at the age of 73 in Lake Butler, Florida, Fox News reported.
Succumbing to colon cancer after a prolonged battle, North's death was confirmed by close friends Jon Provost and Laurie Jacobson through social media platforms.
North, whose demise occurred on Sunday, April 6, spent his final moments in the comfort of his own home. The revered actor struggled with this illness for many years, ultimately finding peace after his ordeal. His passing sparked an outpouring of tributes from friends and supporters, who remembered him as a cherished friend and talented performer.
Born on August 3, 1951, Jay North achieved international fame in his childhood through the character of Dennis Mitchell in "Dennis the Menace." The show aired from October 1959 to 1963, bringing to life the comic strip created by Hank Ketcham. His portrayal of the lovable yet mischievous boy captured the hearts of many and solidified North's place as a beloved fixture in the entertainment industry.
In addition to his success in front of the camera, North also lent his voice to a variety of animated series. His work included roles in "Here Comes the Grump," "Arabian Knights," "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show," and a few episodes of "The Simpsons." Despite his contributions to numerous television projects, his final screen appearance took place in 2003's comedy "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star."
Behind the scenes, North's experiences as a child actor were marred by adversity. He encountered significant challenges, including abuse at the hands of his guardians. Notably, North's aunt, who served as his on-set guardian, subjected him to physical and emotional mistreatment.
In a candid interview with journalist Katie Couric in 1991, North opened up about the tough journey he faced during those formative years. The actor recounted waking up with dread at the prospect of another day of potential abuse, reflecting revelations of the darker aspects of his early career. He described moments of physical punishment and harsh discipline from those who were supposed to protect him.
Such treatment cast long shadows over his childhood and subsequent career, leaving a lasting impact on his life. He eventually found solace in sharing his story and in seeking healing and support within his personal community.
Laurie Jacobson, a close friend, expressed her sadness at North's passing while celebrating his life. She recounted their deep friendship and his enduring spirit despite a challenging Hollywood journey. Jacobson noted how, even in difficult periods, North remained a person with a "heart as big as a mountain," known for his heartfelt love for his friends.
Jon Provost, another longtime friend, lamented the loss of North by reflecting on their nearly 70 years of camaraderie. The provost recognized the unique challenges North faced compared to others in the industry and praised him as a wonderful person who would be deeply missed.
Jay North is survived by his wife, Cindy Hackney, who stood by him throughout his struggles. His story resonates as a testament to the resilience and compassion he carried in both his personal and professional life. While North's path was fraught with difficulty, it is clear that his legacy is one filled with admiration and appreciation for those who knew him well.
Jay North's journey serves as a reminder of both the enchanting and, at times, arduous world that child actors navigate. His memory will endure through the many roles he played and through the hearts of friends, family, and fans who cherish his enduring legacy. His legacy serves as an inspiring reminder of the importance of perseverance, hope, and community.
The prime minister of Britain has confessed that the old economic order is not coming back as the United Kingdom scrambles to respond to the shocks caused by President Trump's tariffs.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer admitted that the era of globalization is over, as Trump overturns decades of free trade policies that have devastated manufacturing in the U.S.
"Trump has done something that we don’t agree with, but there’s a reason why people are behind him on this," the prime minister’s office said in a statement to the Sunday Times.
Taking a page out of Trump's book, Starmer delivered a nationalistic speech at a car factory on Monday in which he pledged to support British industry.
Starmer's remarks were less sweeping than initially reported. A report in The Sunday Times said he would argue that mass immigration and free trade have hurt millions of British citizens, and it was time to accept the era of globalization "is over."
"The world has changed, globalization is over and we are now in a new era," the prime minister’s office said in a statement to the Sunday Times. "We’ve got to demonstrate that our approach, a more active Labour government, a more reformist government, can provide the answers for people in every part of this country."
The speech Starmer gave was scaled back and less complimentary towards Trump - who was never mentioned directly, although he cast a large shadow as Starmer declared the dawn of a new and challenging era for Britain.
Trump's universal 10% tariff on imports, and a separate 25% tariff on cars, pose a "huge challenge for our future," Starmer conceded.
"This is a changing and completely new world," Starmer said. "An era where old assumptions, long taken for granted simply no longer apply."
Despite the tough rhetoric, Britain has yet to retaliate against Trump's tariffs. Starmer instead said he would negotiate swiftly, insisting Britain won't take just any deal.
"Nobody wins from a trade war.... but it's also a moment for urgency," Starmer said.
Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs have sent shocks through global markets, as dozens of countries scramble to negotiate terms with the U.S. president.
The president has hailed his tariffs as the beginning of an "economic revolution" that will rebalance trade in the interest of America and American workers after decades of unfair treatment.
Trump has also used tariff pressure as leverage to pursue broader political goals. According to the British Telegraph, the Trump administration has warned Starmer that the lack of free speech in Britain could be an obstacle to a future trade deal.
With Joe Biden out of office, new details are surfacing about the cover-up of the ex-president's cognitive decline.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper is the co-author of a new book about the conspiracy to hide Biden's decline, called Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.
As a debate moderator for CNN, Tapper had a front-row seat to Biden's televised implosion in June, which proved to be a pivotal moment in U.S. history - and the end of an elaborate charade.
"What the world saw at Joe Biden’s one and only debate was not an anomaly — it was not a cold, it was not someone who was under or overprepared, it was not someone who was just a little tired. It was the natural result of an eighty-one-year-old man whose faculties had been diminishing for years," Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson write in the forthcoming book.
Some have criticized the authors of Original Sin, particularly Tapper, citing the media's failure to hold the Biden administration accountable as the public grew concerned about Biden's age.
Tapper's critics have pointed to instances in the past when he downplayed Biden's decline, including after a major speech mid-way through his single term, when Tapper praised Biden's "solid" performance.
Of course, Biden was already showing evidence of decline when he ran for the White House in 2020. Tapper dismissed Biden's glaring gaffes at the time, attributing them to a stutter.
“How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?” Tapper asked Lara Trump at the time.
“I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline."
To some critics of the media, the recent interest in covering Biden's decline seems hypocritical.
Reacting to critics, Tapper said he has been "covering concerns about President Biden’s age and health for years" - and he says sources are more forthcoming with information now that the election is over.
“I literally asked him about it in October 2022, and we’ve challenged Democrats and White House officials on the issue,” the anchor said.
“But Alex Thompson of Axios and I have spent the last several months talking to more than 200 insiders, officials, and donors — many of whom were more willing to talk post-election — to explain the last couple of years in politics and how we, as a country, got here.”
As Democrats once again target Melania Trump, cracks are starting to show in the facade of the party's immigrant-friendly image.
California Democrat Maxine Waters (D) launched a recent baseless attack on Melania's citizenship, suggesting she obtained it through "undocumented" parents.
Some Democrats have similarly invoked Elon Musk's South African heritage to draw a fanciful connection between apartheid and Trump's "fascism," Fox News noted.
It goes without saying that these attacks are not just hateful, but incoherent and stupid.
Waters, speaking at a recent protest against Musk's DOGE initiative, accused First Lady Melania Trump of obtaining citizenship through "undocumented" parents.
"We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look," Waters said.
While Waters was trying to make a point about President Trump's efforts to end birthright citizenship, Melania was not born on U.S. soil. She became a naturalized citizen in 2006.
"When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania," Waters said.
Meanwhile, Musk has been at the center of controversy in the early weeks of Trump's second term.
It would be an understatement to say that Musk's role as head of DOGE has led to some hyperbolic outbursts (as well as thuggish violence.) While Democrats accuse Trump and Musk of advancing an autocratic agenda, some have gone a step further by invoking South Africa's history of apartheid.
"I think that’s a leftover from Elon Musk’s South African heritage, and maybe he’s falling too far back on the apartheid system of government that was a fascist form of government," said Rep. Gerry Connolly D (Va.) said in February.
"Here in the United States, Mr. Musk," he added, "we have three branches of government, each of them separate but coequal, and, ultimately, the judicial branch is the deciding factor when there is a dispute between the other two branches of government. That’s how our system works here."
Democrats are offering a reminder that their openness to immigration only extends to their perceived political allies. While they have embraced mass immigration as a strategy to get votes, they have no problem finding specific people of foreign extraction to hate.

James Boasberg, the federal judge in Washington who repeatedly has disrupted President Donald Trump's efforts to secure and protect America with his judicial activism, could face impeachment for his actions.
But that's a long and cumbersome process.
So U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., has introduced a resolution simply to remove him from office for refusing to abide by the Constitution's requirement that judges can remain in office during their "good behavior."
"We cannot stand by while activist judges who incorrectly believe they have more authority than the duly-elected president of the United States, impose their own political agenda on the American people," Biggs explained in a statement.
"I have cosponsored resolutions to impeach Judge Boasberg. His removal from office via impeachment, however, will undoubtedly be blocked by Democrats in the Senate, since it requires a two-thirds majority. My resolution, on the other hand, asserts, pursuant to Article III, Section 1, that rogue judges may be removed the same way we confirm them—by a simple majority," he said.
"Judge Boasberg abused his judicial authority for political gain and is not in compliance with the constitutional Good Behavior Clause. He must not be permitted to remain in his position. Congress has a duty to fulfill the promises we've made to the American people, including defending the President's authority to enforce our laws."
Boasberg now is the chief of the federal district court in Washington, the entry-level court for the federal judiciary. The Constitution establishes the Supreme Court, but all other federal courts are set up by Congress.
The Constitution provides that judges may hold their offices only during good behavior, a separate requirement from those imposed by the authority of Congress to impeach a judge for "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
The resolution details how Boasberg knowingly and unjustly interfered with President Trump's execution of foreign policy and targeted the president for partisan purposes and political gain.
That, the resolution charges, subjects him to the process of removal from office for failing to abide by good behavior.
A report at the Gateway Pundit explains the resolution states that Boasberg is in "breach of constitutional order, particularly his unlawful meddling in President Trump's lawful directive to deport members of Venezuela's notorious Tren de Aragua gang under the Alien Enemies Act."
Trump has invoked that federal law to remove illegal alien criminals from America.
When that happened, Boasberg stepped in to try to block those deportations, allegedly "undermining a sitting president's constitutional authority to defend America from foreign enemies," the report said. He even ordered that the White House turn around deportation jets in flight and return the criminal aliens to America, without even knowing whether they would have had fuel enough to make it back.
The plan also cites Boasberdgs prior suspect behavior as a FISA court judge, suggesting "he misused his discretion and failed to disclose payments from outside sources," the report explained.
The report called the move "a direct shot across the bow at activist judges who think they can trample the will of the American people and the duly elected president, Donald Trump."

New evidence that indicts the Department of Justice for running a protection racket for Hunter Biden, while he was engaged in an influence-peddling scheme that took in millions of dollars from foreign interests, has been revealed.
Of course, Joe Biden flip-flopped after he repeatedly and publicly promised he would not pardon his son, then did, notably not only giving him a pass on "any crimes from human trafficking to tax evasion," but also covering a period from Jan. 1, 2014, to Dec. 1, 2024, a period now explained by a new letter that has been uncovered.
"What remains is a corruption scandal involving not only what the Bidens did but also what the Justice Department did not do over this extended period," explained constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, who not only has testified to Congress on the meaning of the Constitution but has represented members in court on those issues.
The DOJ, he said, "appears to heed the advice not of whistleblowers but politicians like former Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., that 'everybody needs to back off' the influence-peddling story."
Turley explained there are those who have been concerned for years about "the Biden family's multimillion-dollar influence-peddling operation and the Justice Department's refusal to charge Hunter Biden with being an unregistered foreign agent."
He said now the New York Times has revealed evidence "suggesting that Hunter Biden was acting as a foreign agent as early as the Obama administration when his dad was vice president."
Among the details he cited were that, "Hunter Biden sought assistance from the U.S. government for a potentially lucrative energy project in Italy while his father was vice president, according to newly released records and interviews. The records, which the Biden administration had withheld for years, indicate that Hunter Biden wrote at least one letter to the U.S. ambassador to Italy in 2016 seeking assistance for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, where he was a board member…"
He said the DOJ was liberal with its use of the law against Trump allies, seeming "to charge by the gross" and used it to "conduct searches on the homes and files of former Trump counsel Rudy Giuliani, Republican counsel Victoria Toensing and others."
For Biden, however, Special Counsel David Weiss seemed to tie himself "into knots to avoid tripping the wire on FARA even as it discussed Hunter's work for foreign clients."
Turley explained the new evidence is a copy of a key letter from Hunter Biden that he wrote while his father was vice president where he wanted help from the U.S. government for Burisma, which was paying him hundreds of thousands of dollars to be on its board.
On Burisma letterhead, Hunter Biden told the U.S. ambassador to Italy that he wanted help arranging a meeting with an Italian official to remove regulatory hurdles to a Burisma project in the Tuscany region.
"The letter references a trip on which Hunter, as was his pattern, used official travel with his father to make these business connections. The letter mentions meeting a key ambassador on Air Force Two as he seeks assistance for his client."
Turley pointed out, "Many in the media attacked those of us who have been writing about this corruption stretching back to the Obama administration. Many simply insisted that there was no evidence while taking no steps to find out. While the media was unrelenting in investigating Trump's allegations of Russian collusion and business improprieties, it took a largely passive stance in pursuing this story."
Turley previously explained Joe Biden's pardon of son Hunter also provided protection for him.
"Hunter could still be called to testify before Congress or with investigators on the influence-peddling efforts. If he lies, it will be a new crime for which this pardon would not bar prosecution. He would no longer be able to count on a pocket pardon as an insurance policy. Short of such continued investigation, the Bidens would have achieved something that would have made John Gotti blush. They were able to pull in millions of alleged influence-peddling proceeds. Hunter was showered with gifts and benefits, from a diamond to a luxury sports car. Various Biden family members reportedly received money from the operation. President Biden was himself accused of knowledge and possible benefits from the influence peddling. He will also be protected by this official act."
