Joe Biden should plead guilty only to a single “charge,” which would be that he loves his son so much that he is willing to take flak for issuing a pardon to possibly keep him out of federal prison.
President Biden this weekend issued a broad pardon for his son, Hunter, who was convicted by a federal jury of purchasing a handgun illegally and for some assorted tax charges.
Hunter Biden faced the possibility of prison time. I doubt he would have gotten it. Then again, I am a terrible predictor of such things.
The president had declared he would let the system do its job and he wouldn’t pardon his son. Then he changed his mind.
Here is what is most maddening about the criticism that has erupted. The MAGA crowd is attaching some false equivalency to what Hunter Biden and the actions of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol Building aiming to overturn the2020 election results. To equate Hunter Biden’s lying about drug use with the machinations of the traitorous mob is ridiculous on its face.
Donald Trump might pardon some of the mobsters when he takes office and the MAGA goons will applaud him for it.
Joe Biden’s pardoning of Hunter Biden is a demonstration only of a father’s love of his son. This story will disappear once Donald Trump takes office… and you can take that to the bank.
99.9% of those charged for January 6th were less severe than Bidenās charges. The 99.9% were simply observing and walking around. Those are the ones Trump plans to pardon because they were bullshit charges. Who should be charged are the FBI plants that participated to āfit inā. Their superiors words from testimony once pushed in hearings.
Biden guilty of loving his son. Trump guilty of loving his country!
I donāt usually disagree with you, John, but, respectfully, I do on this one. I think Joe Biden has made a mistake in pardoning his son, Hunter. This action somewhat validates the argument that Donald Trump will be acting righteously if and when he pardons those convicted of crimes on January 6th. And those people should not be pardoned! Bidenās action makes it easy to argue that whatās good for the goose (Hunter Bidenās pardon) is good for the gander (the pardon of January 6th people). I donāt like this pardon one bit.
I read the pardon again. 11 years is the range for the pardon. Why so specific? Thatās suspicious in itself. Then, crimes committed or MAY HAVE COMMITTED. Thatās extremely strange. That implies he knows of crimes that havenāt been brought up yet. This truly reeks of cover up and self preservation.
