Navy Seal pardoned of war crimes by Trump described by colleagues as 'freaking evil'

But Hunter Biden?

Eddie Gallagher was convicted of posing with the dead body of a teenage Isis captive he had just killed with a hunting knife.

Gallagher was convicted in July of posing with the dead body of a teenage Islamic State captive he had just killed with a hunting knife. He was granted clemency by the president in November in a decision that angered military chiefs.

In the interviews, conducted by navy investigators looking into Gallagher’s conduct during a tour of duty in Iraq in 2017, fellow platoon members told of a ruthless leader who stabbed the captive to death for no reason then forced his troops to pose for a photograph with the corpse.
