President Biden’s hypocrisy on full display: Pardons his own son after making a point about ‘independent’ justice"
In a move that’s being hailed as a “full and unconditional” pardon, President Joe Biden has announced that he’s granting his son Hunter Biden a free pass for all federal charges related to his time between 2014-2024. Just 50 days before leaving office, Biden had previously declared that he wouldn’t be making the move, stating he’d abide by the jury’s decision. But now, it seems he was just playing a different tune.
TL;DR
President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who was facing up to 25 years in prison for lying on a federal form about his drug addiction. This comes after months of saying he wouldn’t make the move, and is being met with criticism from politicians and others who called him out on his earlier stance. A case of “my family is more important than I am” - how about keeping your promises for once?
I was just pointing out the way on a limb theoretical to cover all my bases. The Presidential pardon could in theory be used on a mass scale (and it has been in the past) but in realistic terms, no it won’t happen. That said, inside the realm of some sort of reality weed will still be a factor on 4473 until the law either removes the question about illegal drugs, or weed is made federally legal. That’s not something controlled solely by the executive branch.
