The president's son is currently standing trial on three felony gun charges that could carry a sentence of up to 25 years in jail if he is found guilty.
Asked if he would rule out issuing a pardon for his son, Biden replied, "yes."
This just shows contrast between a nepotist who would pardon himself and anyone he thinks is usefull. With a president that actually cares about the rule of law and knows that giving his son a free pass wrecks the legal system.
The last week pardons of presidents are insane and far worse people have received one. I really wouldn't mind him pardoning Hunter, but it'd be politically savvy to wait until after the election and not pardon Hunter if he loses it.
He can love his son and also democracy and justice too - i.e. allow his son to go to what will surely be like a resort vacation spa that they will call "prison" (not bc he's special, just bc he's rich).
FDR was at least smart enough to buy guillotine insurance in the form of social democracy in response to unrest, Biden's response to 2020 was "fund the police", followed by ending the "pandemic" anti-poverty measures.
Lol, yeah right! It's election season, but as soon as that's done, he'll pardon Hunter. He should've just admitted it though. Everybody knows he's lying
I don't see why he wouldn't do it. It's his son. trump has pardoned criminals waaaay worse who then went on to commit more of the same crimes they were pardoned for. He also gave medals to people who were wholly undeserving of said medals.
Hell now that trump is a convicted felon how about undoing the bullshit he did while in office. Take away the medals from those assholes who don't deserve it and throw the criminals he pardoned back in jail.
If he was a detective, wouldn't all his past cases be under scrutiny? Why is that not the same for a president? It should be put to higher standards than police work.
Uh huh...we'll see. He's already lied for him time and time again saying the laptop was Russian disinformation when he already knew that wasn't true and abused his power by getting Facebook and Twitter to block the story and suspend the New York Post's account in order to interfere in the last election but you don't think he would clear his son before leaving office?
Yeah, actually I'd bet my last dollar on it...you really think Biden wouldn't clear his own son before he left office? He's already lied for him over and over saying things like the laptop was Russian disinformation when they already knew that wasn't true
