Hunter Biden’s lawyers launch apparent 11th-hour bid to land pardon from Dad https://nypost.com/2024/12/01/us-ne...parent-11th-hour-bid-to-land-pardon-from-dad/
I’m kind of surprised Trump hasn’t nominated Hunter to secretary of commerce or something. Dude fits right in with the current selection. Only issue is he doesn’t have a rape allegation. I guess he’s a needs a rape on his rap sheet to meet the Trump qualifications. Thought he had enough pre qualifications to at least get a deputy secretary position though.
link will work for everyone . . . including @astros123 Joe Biden pardons his son Hunter The president had promised not to pardon Hunter Biden, who was convicted of gun-related charges and had pleaded guilty in a tax case. https://wapo.st/3ZuSKRL
Trump pardoned Steve bannon who was convicted guilty of stealing money from MAGA supporters. What the **** is your point
This is so ****ing funny ... that you remotely think that this is funny. You do know what is funny though ... No one will know when the Convicted Felon aka the Chaos Agent has lost his mind. A younger version of the Convicted Felon (pre-conviction) told people to inject bleach to fight covid since he is not a serious person with serious ideas, just a Reality TV President. People then drank bleach and had to go to the ER; some died. Later, the Reality TV President was made to say that he was not being "serious" but "sarcastic".
all of his colleagues, the person who started this thread, and all the leftists who claimed moral superiority
This is not a serious opinion. It does not even track with the facts on the ground. It just randomly connects dots that do not connect: Hunter is Biden's son Hunter did work in Ukraine Hunter was paid money to get his dad to NOT do what his dad ended up doing
I didn't remember, so I had to look it up. Schiff introduced this legislation because some of Trump's co-conspirators like Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort were being leaned on by Robert Mueller in his investigation of whether Trump's campaign were in bed with Russia's interference in our presidential election. Trump was worried that lieutenants would flip and take a plea deal to rat out their boss. To keep them in line, Trump implied to them that they would be pardoned if they refused plea deals and kept their mouths shut. Schiff was trying to increase the price on co-conspirators by exposing them to social and career embarrassment in lieu of criminal punishment once pardoned. It honestly would have been a bad law because it would violate the civil rights of those pardoned and encroach on the powers of the executive, so it is no surprise and a good thing that the bill was never made into law. It was, in fact, just some political theatre to get a headline, because Trump wouldn't have signed it even if it got the votes somehow in the Senate. So it wasn't a law, and never really was a sincere effort at a law either. And it's a bad idea and unconstitutional. But, if we were to apply it in this case anyway, what would we learn? That he was a drug addict and illegally owned a gun? And that he evaded taxes? We know all that already. You really think the DOJ has legit evidence that Hunter Biden really did take millions in bribes from foreign countries? Please be serious. Even so, if you want to make it a thing, let's make it a thing. Pass Schiff's bill. Let's pretend for a moment that it isn't deemed unconstitutional by SCOTUS. Either the DOJ has convincing evidence he was corrupt, or members of Congress will be able to selectively leak fragments of documents to make it look to some like he was. Hunter's reputation, already in tatters, will be destroyed. And we can cement the precedent that Congress has oversight powers on the presidential pardon.
