Joe Biden Pardons his son, Sparking Criticism of U.S. Legal System’s Politicization

By A Staff Reporter

US President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden, who faced sentencing for gun and tax convictions, has reignited debates over the alleged politicization of the American legal system. Foreign Affairs Expert Abhijit Iyer-Mitra offered a scathing critique, calling the pardon a confirmation of what many have suspected about U.S. politics and justice.

“It (US indictment on Adani) was 100% political. What has been alleged in that indictment is a joke,” Iyer-Mitra stated, referencing recent cases that have drawn scrutiny, including the indictment on Indian conglomerate Adani. He argued that such cases often reflect political interference rather than objective justice.

Iyer-Mitra pointed out that Breon Peace, the attorney behind the Adani indictment, was a political appointee nominated by Chuck Schumer. He alleged Peace had ties to George Soros and accused him of advancing a “George Soros agenda.”

Commenting on Hunter Biden’s pardon, Iyer-Mitra said, “What Joe Biden’s pardoning of his son has done, is it’s the first time that somebody on the top, no less than the President himself, has finally admitted what we have always known – which is the American system is a completely political system.”

He also cited historical examples like the arrest of Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade by Preet Bharara in New York, arguing that U.S. attorneys often pursue cases to gain publicity and political mileage. “These attorneys have to come on the news, they have to become household names, they need publicity. So, they need to pursue a political agenda because they are all up for political office out there,” he remarked.

Iyer-Mitra concluded that the American legal and political systems are deeply intertwined, a characteristic he claimed has always existed and w

ill persist.
