Disclaimers
1. Any act of denial and refutation against any data, statements and proof mentioned or presented in this journal based on mentions, suggestions or uses of information sources coming from and/or promoted by hegemonic media (US, UK and others), social media, Wikipedia (including variations thereof as well), Fact Checkers and any entity pertaining to and/or related to the oligarchy, may be ignored and/or taken with great skepticism by any reader, in case he/she so desires. The reasons are based on the absence of credible, reliable and/or truthful information, whether in part or in whole, from the aforementioned sources/entities/groups/organizations due to many of the controversies and/or scandals associated with them.
2. The use of the phrase "conspiracy theory" per se, or similar to that, which is linked to what it means in the entertainment media and/or the hegemonic media as a primary method of denial and/or disapproval of the content of this note, as well as the sources attached to it, will not be taken as truthful either.
3. The owner of this journal doesn't have any kind of personal adherence (personal/selfish reasons), contractual (legal reasons) or constitutional (constitutional reasons) with political figures, political parties, social organizations/entities and/or countries/nations based on the use of political agendas and/or any kind of activism that causes damage to material goods, the environment and/or towards other human beings (whether physical or psychological) for any reason that is considered unjustified after being first analyzed based on reason and ethics, with the sample or presence of compelling evidence corresponding to the cases mentioned above. The rejection of such agendas and/or activism will be even higher and forceful in cases that imply going against human nature in terms of any harm, deprivation, destruction and deterioration of the individuality of the human being and/or any society composed of human beings for unjustifiable reasons.

6) Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, with a little complicity from Donald Trump here and there, even though he had said on multiple occasions that he would never do it.
Evidence A.
All the times Joe Biden and the White House said he wouldn’t pardon Hunter
https://nypost.com/2024/12/02/us-news/all-of-the-times-joe-biden-and-his-administration-said-he-wouldnt-pardon-hunter/
Highlighted fragments from the article above as evidence:
1- “Both Biden and the White House told the public nearly a dozen times that the president would not pardon his son — both before and after Hunter was convicted of gun charges and pleaded guilty to tax felonies earlier this year.”
2- “Plea deal collapse
In July last year, shortly after Hunter Biden’s no-jail plea agreement imploded in court, the White House clarified the president’s stance against a pardon.
“No,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre simply told reporters at the time...
...“This is a personal matter for Hunter Biden, this is a personal issue,” Jean-Pierre also told reporters at the time. “This has been done in an independent way by the Department of Justice, it has been led by a Trump-appointed prosecutor.””
3- “December 2023
Against the backdrop of Weiss’ team announcing nine charges against Hunter Biden over the tax evasion case, the White House flack again insisted that the president hadn’t changed his mind.
“Nothing has changed,” she told reporters on Air Force One during a gaggle. “That is still the case.””
4- “Biden declares he won’t pardon Hunter
Finally, last June, while his scandal-scarred son was on trial for the three-count firearm case, the president publicly declared that he wouldn’t issue a pardon.
“Yes,” the president said in a terse reply when asked by ABC News’ David Muir if he had ruled out a pardon.
The 82-year-old also “admonished his then-rival” former President Donald Trump for “railing against the justice system” as he grappled with 88 criminal counts at the time, most of which have since gone away.
“He’s trying to “undermine it”,” Biden argued at the time. “He got a fair trial. The jury spoke.””
5- “Hunter gets convicted
...“As I said last week, I am the President, but I am also a Dad. I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today,” Biden said in a statement on June 11, 2024. “As I also said last week, I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal.””
6- “Hunter pleads guilty in the tax case
The first son shocked observers by pleading guilty to the nine counts in the tax case against him. And the White House again claimed the president wouldn’t pardon him.
“It’s no, it’s still no,” Jean-Pierre told reporters on Sept. 5.”
7- “Donald Trump open to pardoning Hunter
Trump, 78, said during an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in late October that he wasn’t ruling out a pardon for Hunter Biden.
“I wouldn’t take it off the books. See, unlike Joe Biden, despite what they’ve done to me, where they’ve gone after me “so viciously”, despite what — and Hunter’s a bad boy. There’s no question about it. He’s been a bad boy,” Trump said at the time.”
8- “Biden pardons Hunter
On Sunday evening, the president announced his “shocking reversal” and “justified” his actions by claiming that his son was treated “unfairly” by the justice system.
“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and “I kept my word” even as I have watched my son being “selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted”,” the president said in a statement.
“It is clear that Hunter “was treated differently,”” he added. “The charges in his cases came about only after several of my “political opponents” in Congress instigated them “to attack me and oppose my election”.””
9- “Jean-Pierre also rejected the notion that the president’s actions substantiate Trump’s allegations that the justice system “has been weaponized for political purposes.”
“No. Read the president’s statement. Seriously. Read the president’s statement. He said “he believes in the Department of Justice”,” she told reporters Monday. “He also “believes” that … politics infected the process, and it led to a “miscarriage of justice”. He “believes” his son was “unfairly targeted”.””

Yale alumni no strangers to the Trump White House (April 9, 2018)
https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Yale-alums-no-strangers-to-the-Trump-White-House-12815852.php
Highlighted fragments from the article above as evidence:
1- “NEW HAVEN — President Donald Trump has more Yale graduates in the top levels of his administration than any president in recent memory.
But the reason the conservative Republican president has chosen Yale alumni “may” have more to do with Yale’s status as an elite institution, graduates’ attractiveness to high-profile law and business firms and to “pure coincidence” than to any affinity for those who attended the famously liberal university.”
2- “And, according to professor Gary Rose, who teaches political science at Sacred Heart University, it makes sense that Trump, a billionaire who received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, is comfortable with others who attended top-level schools.
That “would” account for the choice of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, class of 1985, who worked for investment firm Goldman Sachs and later founded his own financial institutions before becoming finance chairman for the Trump campaign. According to a story in The New Journal, Mnuchin fought with the editorial staff of the Yale Daily News when he was publisher of the paper and pushing for less editorial space in order to increase profits.
Trump’s “interplay with the circle he has moved in,” as Rose put it, “would” also explain his choice of Wilbur Ross, class of 1959, as secretary of commerce, who specialized in restructuring bankrupt or struggling companies in many industries, including helping Trump keep control of his failing Atlantic City casinos, according to Forbes.”

Seven were honored before taking the office, and one, Gerald Ford ’41LLB, afterward. All were awarded a Doctor of Laws—except Wilson, who received a Doctor of Letters while a professor at Princeton. Four of the five alumni who have served as president have received honorary degrees; only Bill Clinton ’73JD has not.”Link to the image shown in the article corresponding to this evidence (B1):

Yale alumni no strangers to the Trump White House (April 9, 2018)
https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Yale-alums-no-strangers-to-the-Trump-White-House-12815852.php
Highlighted fragments from the article above as evidence:
1- “NEW HAVEN — President Donald Trump has more Yale graduates in the top levels of his administration than any president in recent memory.
But the reason the conservative Republican president has chosen Yale alumni “may” have more to do with Yale’s status as an elite institution, graduates’ attractiveness to high-profile law and business firms and to “pure coincidence” than to any affinity for those who attended the famously liberal university.”
2- “And, according to professor Gary Rose, who teaches political science at Sacred Heart University, it makes sense that Trump, a billionaire who received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, is comfortable with others who attended top-level schools.
That “would” account for the choice of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, class of 1985, who worked for investment firm Goldman Sachs and later founded his own financial institutions before becoming finance chairman for the Trump campaign. According to a story in The New Journal, Mnuchin fought with the editorial staff of the Yale Daily News when he was publisher of the paper and pushing for less editorial space in order to increase profits.
Trump’s “interplay with the circle he has moved in,” as Rose put it, “would” also explain his choice of Wilbur Ross, class of 1959, as secretary of commerce, who specialized in restructuring bankrupt or struggling companies in many industries, including helping Trump keep control of his failing Atlantic City casinos, according to Forbes.”

Clarifications and explanations regarding the evidences presented in this segment (7).
Almost nothing to clarify or explain here that has not been stated, shown, and shared in this segment, except that what is presented in this one will also be important in the last part of this super-topic, i.e., in the conclusion. As for why Wikipedia articles were used as evidence, A, F, and G in this case, it is because the information they contained regarding those who graduated from those universities was well organized and presented overall, which made it easy to use, regardless of whether the rest of the information might be relevant, reliable, or misleading.
