by Rod Williams, Dec. 2, 2024 - Yesterday, President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter, after promising he wouldn't do so. This plays into the hands of the Trumpinistas who believe the Justice Department and the FBI targets conservatives and that it targeted Trump specifically. It justifies, in their mind, Trump using the Justice Department and the FBI to target Trump's critics. It obliterates the argument that the Justice Department is objective and impartial.
When Trump apologist would argue that the Justice Department unfairly targeted Trump, Trump critics would push back and say, well what about Hunter Biden? If the Justice Department was partial and just a tool of those in power, Trump critics would argue, then how do you explain the Justice Department pursuing charges against Hunter Biden?
They had no good answer. Now, they do. They can argue that the prosecution of Hunter was all for show and that it was Biden's plan to pardon Hunter after the election all along.
Also, when Trump pardons the J6 insurrectionist or other criminals and anyone criticizes Trump's use of the pardon, Trump supporters can respond with, what about Hunter?
Biden has surrendered any moral high ground Trump critics may have held. This is another example of Biden putting his own interest above the interest of the country, just as he did when he refused to step down and he ran for a second term.
