Hunter is Pardoned
I was disappointed to hear this. While the charges against Hunter probably would not have been brought against someone of “lower profile,” and he pled guilty to the charges despite their dubious nature, excusing his actions with a Presidential Pardon just gives Republicans more ammunition for their “deep state/conspiracy” artillery.
Hunter chose to plead guilty. Good for him. Both Hunter and his father should have accepted the consequences of that decision. Joe’s decision to place family over the law once again demonstrates his infirmity and gives those fence-sitters that voted against him another reason to feel like they made the right choice.
