Show me where other presidents said you’re not allowed to question the justice system and that they would not pardon their son, and then do it anyways.
It's a fine example of Conflict of Interest. I'm surprised the US constitution allows that.
We haven’t seen a pardon as sweeping as Hunter Biden’s in generations
The “full and unconditional” pardon is aimed at protecting the president’s son from future prosecution by the Trump Justice Department.www.yahoo.com
Joe did not pardon Hunter for just the one felony he was being sentenced for. No, Joe pardoned his son for about 10 years of illegal activity Joe was certain his son would go to jail for if he did not give him a 10 year pardon.
Hunter Biden’s pardon looks a lot like Richard Nixon’s.
President Joe Biden’s grant of clemency on Sunday night — an extraordinary political act with extraordinary legal breadth — insulates his son from ever facing federal charges over any crimes he possibly could have committed over the past decade.
Experts on pardons said they could think of only one other person who has received a presidential pardon so sweeping in generations: Nixon, who was given a blanket pardon by Gerald Ford in 1974.
“I have never seen language like this in a pardon document that purports to pardon offenses that have not apparently even been charged, with the exception of the Nixon pardon,” said Margaret Love, who served from 1990 to 1997 as the U.S. pardon attorney, a Justice Department position devoted to assisting the president on clemency issues.
“Even the broadest Trump pardons were specific as to what was being pardoned,” Love added.
Joe Biden’s “full and unconditional pardon” of his son is deliberately vague. Donald Trump and his allies have long fixated on the president’s son, and Trump has repeatedly pledged to use his second term to investigate and prosecute
members of the Biden family. Conservative commentators have engaged in parlor-game speculation that Hunter Biden could be charged with bribery, illegal lobbying or other crimes stemming from his foreign business activities and drug addiction.
So rather than merely pardoning his son for the gun crimes for which he was convicted and the tax crimes for which he pleaded guilty, the president’s pardon covers all “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in” from Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 1, 2024. That language mirrors the language in Ford’s pardon of Nixon, which did not merely cover the Watergate scandal but extended to “all offenses against the United States” that Nixon “has committed or may have committed” between Jan. 20, 1969, and Aug. 9, 1974 — the exact span of Nixon’s presidency.
The starting date of Jan. 1, 2014, in the Biden pardon was surely not chosen randomly: Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company, in April 2014, while his father was vice president. Republicans have accused the younger Biden of illegally profiting off his position on that board.
Nothing admits guilt more than this pardon by Joe
"If I were Biden, I'd give a blanket pardon to everyone involved in his administration and Obama's as well"
Predictable that the leftist would retreat to the "Russia Collision" conspiracy theory.
But one isn't a pardon...and one is. You were comparing something that wasn't a pardon to a blanket pardon by Xiden to his son that covers 10 years of his life.
The value of his masterpieces probably would have taken a nosedive even if Kamala won, since Kamala isn't Joe Biden.
Well we'll see how it goes. The only substantial thing we will accomplish if the people see us as no different than Democrats in being politically motivated to go after political enemies is to lose the good will and support of the people that we now have.
