President-elect Trump called President Bidens pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, an abuse and miscarriage of justice Sunday.
Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice! the president-elect said in a post on Truth Social, seemingly referring to rioters who have been accused of storming the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack.
Biden announced earlier Sunday that he signed his sons pardon and argued in a statement that the charges that his son had faced came about due to political reasons.

Meanwhile donny embodies the term miscarriage of justice.

(60,153 posts)Of the various controversial Presidential pardons, this would not reach anywhere near the most unjustified. Ignoring that there wouldn't even have been charged not plea bargained with any other last name, there are valid reasons to pardon.
He made financial restitution. He admitted to addiction and has worked hard to be clean for the last 5 years with the love and help of his family. He actually has been punished by having everything put out in public and used to harm the father he loves. He is in no way threat to others, nor was he ever accused of being one. He is still a vulnerable person and trials and prison could seriously hurt him.
Joe Biden is a good person. Not pardoning Hunter would sacrifice his son unfairly just to claim he has higher values. He does not need to prove that because he has lived those values his whole career.

(1,631 posts)since Trump was asked if Biden didn't pardon Hunter if he would do it and he was positive saying he would definitely consider it doing it. Now it's a miscarriage of justice?

I look forward to his not pardoning the Jan 6th terrorists because he wants to set an example of why he is good and Biden is bad.

(11,685 posts)The abuse and miscarriage of justice, then has the gall to equate the case against Hunter Biden to a bunch of violent insurrectionists that he incited.
You can't make this stuff up.
It's going to be a long, long four years!

(159,706 posts)There's a legitimate controversy surrounding Joe Biden's pardon for Hunter Biden, but given his scandalous record, Donald Trump ought to sit this one out.

President Joe Biden on Sunday issued a full and unconditional pardon for his son Hunter Biden, who has been dogged by Republican attacks for years. ... The pardon is expected to cover both his gun charges and his tax charges, reported NBC News, the first outlet to report on the decision. It covers any offenses the 54-year-old has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.
Theres no shortage of angles to a story like this one, but broadly speaking, there are two sides to the story. On the one hand, theres the outgoing president, who argued that his adult son wouldnt even have been prosecuted if his last name werent Biden. The pardon, by this reasoning, is about advancing the cause of justice and righting a prosecutorial wrong......
The one person, however, who should sit this one out, is Donald Trump, who apparently couldnt help himself.
Shortly after the White House announced the pardon for the incumbent presidents son, the Republican president-elect published an item to his social media platform that read, Does the Pardon given by Joe to Hunter include the J-6 Hostages, who have now been imprisoned for years? Such an abuse and miscarriage of Justice!
First, Jan. 6 criminals are not hostages.
Second, if were going to talk about pardons, abuses and miscarriages of justice, Trump might not like where the conversation ends up.
Indeed, by any fair measure, Trumps record on pardons is arguably the worst in American history. During his first term, he effectively wielded his pardon power as a corrupt weapon, rewarding loyalists, completing cover-ups, undermining federal law enforcement, and doling out perverse favors to the politically connected.
Trumps list of scandalous pardon abuses is so long, it could be a lengthy book. The names should be familiar: Paul Manafort. Michael Flynn. Steve Bannon. Roger Stone. Seven different Republican members of Congress who were locked up for corruption crimes.
Trump saw presidential pardons as get-out-of-jail-free cards for his friends and associates, engaging in the kind of brazen corruption that wouldve defined his term were it not eclipsed by other breathtaking scandals.
