President Joe Biden’s controversial pardon of his son Hunter may give President-elect Donald Trump a blank check to issue his own round of pardons upon taking office.
Are we just pretending trump didn’t already issue a bunch of pardons to people who committed crimes to cover his own crimes?
This isn’t analysis - it’s craven blame-shifting.
Trump already has a blank check to issue pardons and already intends to abuse the power in ways never before seen, and it doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference what Biden or anyone else does or doesn’t do.
Trump already pardoned war criminals and traitors.
Fuck off.
Right because Trump never misused the pardon power before /s
This is a stupid excuse. He was always going to pardon J6ers and other allies, just like he always has
Didn’t Trump pardon tiger king? I think a family member is less egregious than a trashy celebrity. Also you could argue a Trump controlled department of justice would use Hinter Biden as a scapegoat and it’d be better just to move past it.
Trump pardoned Jared Kushners’s dad. Yes he did pardon a family member.
Joe Exotic never got the pardon. I don’t think he had enough money for one.
Lol you’re right. But Trump did pardon 237 people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Donald_Trump
They were coming one way or another. Trump will not waste time abusing every single part of the constitution and office of the president for his own gain. I guarantee you’ll see a time where he’s advertising pardons for money out in the open.
