Summary
President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, reversing his prior stance against using executive clemency.
The pardon covers Hunter’s federal gun conviction and tax evasion guilty plea, sparking political controversy.
Biden cited political attacks and a “miscarriage of justice” as reasons for his decision, emphasizing his son’s recovery from addiction and the targeting of his family.
Critics argue the move undermines the judicial process, while supporters view it as within Biden’s constitutional powers.
This decision shields Hunter from potential prison time as Biden nears the end of his presidency.
Stop with the whataboutism, this is the political class acting in its own interest at no benefit to any of us. If anything this discredits the legal system and is to our detriment.
This absolute sham of an investigation, that involved publicly sharing his nude photos in Congress, already did that.
Republicans were literally showing his stolen dick pics during congressional hearings as revenge porn
If they weren’t in Congress, they would have been prosecuted in most countries
In practice, in most countries because of factors like this judges would have possibly pardoned him anyway
