     Jill Biden’s book is not even out yet — and she’s already trying to get it displayed on both the fiction and the non-fiction shelves.  She has always been a selfish fool.

     From her husband’s mental decline to the pardoning of her son, 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.”  Last week Biden faced a torrent of criticism, including from Democrats like 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 repeatedly insisted that he would never pardon son Hunter Biden under any circumstances. White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre became indignant and mocked reporters who continued to ask about a pardon after the then-president had repeatedly promised not to do so.  Now 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.”  “When Trump was elected,” she added,  “we knew that he would target 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.  Presidents have long waited until the final days of their terms to grant controversial or self-serving pardons — like Bill Clinton’s pardon of his own brother.

     However, 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.”
