President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, on Sunday night, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family.
The Democratic president had previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California. The move comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case and guilty plea on tax charges, and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House.
Is it legal? yes. Is it moral? I would say it show pedojoe's stripes, much like any other crime family. For decades, junior has been protected by the "family." Would trumpster have pardoned him? Maybe. Not only the interesting timing from that, but it also negates the exhaustive investigation into the nuts and bolts into pedojr per se by the federal parole investigators. This investigation looks at all the charges and has authority to look into evidence not brought up in court. Information such as where the money in his tax evasion case came from, lying on his taxes, and the FFL. And then there's the issue about using Secret Service to go find the gun, which is an abuse of power.
