If he had PLANNED to pardon Hunter all along, he would have pardoned him early on and not put Hunter through all of the bull crap Congress critters put him through on a daily public basis, and the millions likely in defense lawyers Hunter has had to pay, and all the humiliation his druggie years that have been drawn through the public maga mud....through the New York Post MAGA ally.
He obviously believed in not pardoning Hunter.....otherwise, he was absolutely being cruel to his son, letting him go through that....imo.
Soooo, it wasn't a lie on Biden's part....
But it certainly was a flip flop on his original stance on a pardon.....
