(3,144 posts)People who are claiming we are being hypocrites over the Hunter Biden pardon are full of it and making false equivalencies. The President has the power to issue pardons and if your going to say he can't use it in this case then they might as well not have pardoning power. Or those who say it's an abuse of power, because Hunter is the Presidents Son are full of it too. Yes he did the crimes, but they were pretty minor. A non-violent gun charge and some tax issues in which he has already paid back. Would've been perfectly reasonable for any President to have pardoned Hunter. Meanwhile Trump had already pardoned Jared Kushner's Father and people who had committed crimes in his servitude such as Paul Manafort and Steve Bannon. If Joe hadn't pardoned Hunter it's very likely Trump would spent the next 4 years dangling a pardon to blackmail Hunter in some way.
