(Crankers) President Joe Biden has officially pardoned son Hunter Biden. Joe previously said he would not pardon Hunter, but considering it’s his son, then obviously he was going to pardon him all along.
Hunter Biden was due in court for sentencing on December 12 for gun-related charges in Delaware. He was to be in court for sentencing in California for tax charges. ABC News reported on Hunter Biden’s statement since being pardoned:
Hunter Biden first released a statement directly after the pardon was issued, saying in part, “I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering.
Who is Hunter Biden? Hunter Biden, born Robert Hunter Biden on February 4, 1970, is an American attorney and businessman.

Frank, this article presents a challenging scenario. While presidential pardons are indeed within the legal rights, the optics of pardoning one’s own family member, particularly under such circumstances, demands a nuanced discussion. Doesn’t it potentially set a concerning precedent for future administrations?
I read about Hunter’s pardon and it got me thinking, isn’t this kind of thing pretty common in politics? People always using their position to help their family somehow?
Imagine if I could pardon my brother every time he snagged the last slice of pizza. Hunter’s living the dream, huh? lol
Interestingly, the power of pardon is one of the broadest powers available to a president, but you’re right, the ethical considerations here cannot be ignored. Such actions are bound to be scrutinized under the lens of public perception and legal precedent.
Exactly my point. It’s like there’s one rule for them and another for us. When you have power, seems like accountability just flies out the window.
So, the message here is, you can evade your tax payments, be a druggie when you buy a pistol and all is forgiven as long as your daddy is the so called President.
Yeah, Democrat elitists are just like the rest of us slugs. Or pretend to be.
