You've lost sight of why Biden pardoned Hunter. It had nothing at all to do with the merits of case of the interests of criminal justice. It had to do with preserving the institutions of democracy for the immediate years to come.
You can't "both sides" this one.
Braindead take of the day.
Trump plans to wield the DOJ as a weapon.
You want to give custody of the former president's son to Trump's DOJ?
It'll be another perfect phone call.
"Hey, Joe, we have your son..."
This has fuck all to do with the merits of the case or the interests of justice. This is a national security move.
It would be a reckless dereliction of loyalty to the country for Biden not to issue this pardon, given what it very likely to come.
