Joe, you did the right thing

President Biden pardoned his son. I'm with him 100%. The gun charges against Hunter were bogus. No one would have been charged under the circumstances, No one ever has.

As for the tax charges, in every instance I know about, including not paying the federal government for up to a million dollars the accused pays restitution, fines and pleading to a misdemeanor with no jail time. That is the usual result.

That's what the deal was a year or so ago. That's how anybody would have been treated.

I would have thought poorly of President Biden if he didn't pardon his son or at least commute his sentence.

This was a normal action taken by a man for his son who committed what anyone would consider a "victimless crime".

After all, it's not like President Biden pardoned Hunter and then appointed him to be Ambassador to France.

Joe loved his son. Trump has no idea what love is. Joe pardoned his son to save his life. Trump pardons to line his pockets.

And republicans can’t figure out the difference because they have been ordered not to.
