Joe Biden suddenly in big legal jeopardy

“On the Holmes Front” with Frank Holmes

Joe Biden has been out of office for 33 days, but he may not yet be out of legal jeopardy.

Biden closed out his single term by signing wild, sweeping pardons for his family and handing checks to his friends through USAID until his hands ached.

But one day after taking office, President Donald Trump pointed out a massive oversight: “This guy went around giving everybody pardons,” said President Trump. “The funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn’t give himself a pardon.”

Now, the Trump administration has taken the first step to seeing Joe Biden remembers this oversight as a “sad thing” for what’s left of his life, tipping its hand that Biden will face justice yet.

In fact, one of the top figures in the Trump administration has already picked the team of investigators.

“We’ve already identified folks that’ll be in charge of that full investigation inside the Pentagon,” Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview granted on Thursday.

Hegseth is investigating the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, which left behind billions of dollars in military equipment, abandoned U.S. citizens behind enemy lines, and left more than a dozen U.S. soldiers dead.

Just six months after taking office, Joe Biden pull up stakes and ordered an ill-planned withdrawal from Afghanistan, removing personnel before being certain all Americans got out of the country or saving U.S. military equipment.

The Taliban, which supported Osama bin Laden before 9/11, has keep a tight hold on both ever since.

Things are so bad that far-Left CBS News reported that, more than three years after Biden’s pullout, the Taliban is still holding on to $7 billion of U.S. military equipment

The Islamist extremists have smashed men, women, and children “with an iron fist — aided by abandoned U.S. military hardware,” reported CBS. “According to a 2022 Department of Defense report, 78 aircraft, 40,000 military vehicles and more than 300,000 weapons were among some of what was left behind.”

The House Budget Committee inventoried the loss, including:

  • $923.3 million worth of aircraft
  • 181,640 air-to-ground and 50,150 practice munitions ($294.8 million), with 9,200 guidance, control, assemblies, fuses, or launchers ($47.2 million)
  • More than 300,000of the total 427,300 weapons the U.S. supplied Afghan forces with.
  • “Nearly all”  42,000 pieces of night vision, surveillance, “biometric and positioning equipment” and “nearly all” 17,500 “pieces of explosive detection, electronic countermeasure, disposal and personal protective equipment” that ever made it into Afghanistan.

In addition, “thousands of U.S. citizens and personnel were deserted by their own president,” the committee recalled.

Worst of all, 13 American soldiers died when a radical Islamic terrorist conducted a suicide bombing aimed at U.S. armed service members. A member of ISIS-K blew himself sky high at the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, killing U.S. soldiers in the process.

Biden called his decision “an extraordinary success.”

America’s fighting men begged to differ.

“Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, the strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone?’ Did anyone do that?” asked Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller in a viral Facebook video. Biden presided over his firing, but President Trump rewarded Scheller, appointing him as a senior adviser to the Defense Under Secretary for Personnel and Readiness.

No word on whether Scheller is one of Hegseth’s investigators.

But the secretary is completely committed to investigating, and prosecuting, anyone involved in any criminal act related to our withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Hegseth said he wants to “establish real accountability” by compiling complete ‘fact chains — chains of events, information, what happened. Why did it happen? Who made the decision? What was the reason they made that decision? Why did they give advice or not give advice? Why did they execute an order a certain way? Did they speak up when they were supposed to or not? I don’t think there’s anybody that feels like there’s been an honest accounting of what happened in Afghanistan. That’s our job

That won’t bode well for Joe Biden, who can’t even argue that he didn’t know any better. Biden admitted he knew hs plans would result in a complete disaster.

“It will take a year to get the American troops out,” Biden said in remarks videotaped during a 2007 speech while running for the Democratic presidential nomination. “If you leave all the equipment behind, you might be able to do it in seven month.”

“You leave those billions of dollars of weapons behind, I promise you they’re going to be used against your grandchild and mine someday,” Biden said.

In fact, both halves of the Biden-Harris administration may end up in the investigation’s crosshairs.

Shortly after the suicide bombing, Vice President Kamala Harris admitted she was in on the decision all the way.

Joe Biden “just made a really big decision: Afghanistan. Were you the last person in the room?” asked CNN’s Dana Bash.

“Yes,” replied Harris.

“And you feel comfortable?” she prodded.

“I do,” confirmed the vice president.

Harris went on to say the way Biden ran for the hills took “a lot of courage.”

But when the capital fell to the Taliban, the vice president fled to Vietnam.

On top of that, Biden was as unsympathetic as possible to the victims.

Biden told Gold Star moms her son’s death was just like the death of his son, Beau Biden. The younger Biden died of brain cancer, but the president has repeatedly linked his death to his service in Iraq, without evidence.

During the dignified transfer of their bodies, Biden looked at his watch.

To add insult to injury, his advisers lied about it, claiming he glanced at a rosary that he keeps around his wrist.

Hegseths investigation means Biden could end up doing time.

“We’re going to drive that full investigation and get a sense of what happened,” Hegseth promised. “Accountability will be coming for what happened in Afghanistan, and that’s important to reestablishing trust at the Defense Department.”

Maybe the one thing Biden forgot to do will make him regret all the things he did to America.
