President Biden Pardons His Son Hunter Weeks Before Trump Takes Office

The pardon comes weeks before President Biden leaves office and transfers power to President-elect Donald J. Trump, who spent years attacking Hunter Biden over his legal and personal issues.

President Biden’s hypocrisy on full display: Pardons his own son after making a point about ‘independent’ justice"

In a move that’s being hailed as a “full and unconditional” pardon, President Joe Biden has announced that he’s granting his son Hunter Biden a free pass for all federal charges related to his time between 2014-2024. Just 50 days before leaving office, Biden had previously declared that he wouldn’t be making the move, stating he’d abide by the jury’s decision. But now, it seems he was just playing a different tune.

TL;DR

President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who was facing up to 25 years in prison for lying on a federal form about his drug addiction. This comes after months of saying he wouldn’t make the move, and is being met with criticism from politicians and others who called him out on his earlier stance. A case of “my family is more important than I am” - how about keeping your promises for once?

    Fight fire with fire, if you keep going high the other party will realize it means they can go low and you’ll never do anything about it.

      I hate this approach and would rather lose. The high road is the only road. I take it not because it is easy, but because it is worthwhile.

          I just hate the idea that we have to sink to the bottom. If someone else cheated on a game to win, I would not respond by also cheating. I don’t believe in it.
