Mike Huckabee has made it clear that President-elect Donald Trump is more than capable of navigating the legal labyrinth he currently finds himself in, all without the assistance of Joe Biden. The former governor and staunch supporter of Trump opined that any thought of a Biden pardon is unnecessary, especially after the spectacle of Hunter Biden’s recent pardons, which have only stirred the pot within the Democratic Party. As either a twisted family loyalty or a strategic distraction, Biden’s decision to swoop in and pardon his son for federal crimes is nothing short of eyebrow-raising.
The Democratic infighting became even more entertaining when West Virginia’s own Joe Manchin suggested that Biden should extend a similar courtesy to Trump. However, Huckabee quickly dismissed that particular suggestion during a segment on Newsmax. The former governor pointed out that while the state charges against Trump in New York remain, most of the federal charges have evaporated faster than a snowman in July. Huckabee asserted that the best course of action for Trump is to continue fighting these baseless accusations, rather than waiting around for any help from the Commander-in-Chief who currently resides in the White House.
The situation, Huckabee argues, is not only unjust but also downright ridiculous. The legal actions against Trump have been described in various circles as nonsense. He believes that while Trump continues to battle these charges, the legal system is ultimately on his side—a rather optimistic take, but one that certainly rallies the base. After all, Trump has already shown resilience in political combat; he’s been navigating the treacherous waters of American politics with a bulldozer-sized agenda.
Mike Huckabee says Donald Trump doesn’t need Biden’s pardon: ‘Law is on his side’

The timing couldn’t be more critical. Following Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the most recent elections, special prosecutor Jack Smith ended his case pertaining to the January 6th events, seemingly taking a step back from high-profile prosecutions. Though Trump still faces the looming specter of 34 felony counts related to business inaccuracies, the judge has opted to delay his sentencing indefinitely. It seems that the judicial wheels are turning slowly—slow enough for even a tortoise to raise an eyebrow.
And while Trump battles it out in the courtroom, Hunter Biden is busy giving the American public a lesson in double standards. The younger Biden was recently convicted on several fronts, including lying on federal forms about his drug use to snag a firearm and stacking up tax offenses. These revelations raise questions about the fairness of justice in America—where the son of the president skates through with a pardon, while an ex-president wrestles with the legal establishment. It’s a prime example of how standards can vary wildly based on political affiliation, with one side seemingly above the law and the other fighting tooth and nail for every inch.
