When you select Charles Kushner, the ex-con you pardoned (your first daughters father in law) as US Ambassador to France, shut the fuck up about Hunter Biden
When you have already pardoned several people* who committed crimes on your behalf , shut the fuck up about Hunter Biden.
Whe you yourself are a CONvicted felon, shut the fuck up about Biden pardoning his son. Go fuck yourself.
That is all.
* Trump granted clemency to five of his former campaign staff members and political advisers: Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Stephen K. Bannon, and George Papadopoulos.

(3,298 posts)what can we expect for the guy you want to confess on behalf of his father? "suicide?"
what ever happened to the sleeping guards or the guy who turned off epstein's cameras? probably promoted to warden.
the pardon was righteous and timely.

Bidens pardon of Hunter was to restore Justice.

In his statement accompanying the pardon, President Biden wrote, I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently. All of that is spot on.
He also writes, No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunters cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, theyve tried to break me and theres no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.
With his typical candor, Biden writes that he believes in telling the American people the truth because he believes they are fair-minded. He writes, Heres the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice
I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.

(23,398 posts)if the gop is truly disgusted by these pardons, they can propose a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power in some way. i'm sure they'll have no trouble getting democrats to go along with it.
I'll wait.
