President Biden’s pardon a sad commentary
To the editor:
The pardon of President Biden’s son is not news. Everyone knew this was coming. The only people who thought Joe wouldn’t pardon his son/partner in crime was the media and those who believed he received 81 million legal votes in last election and especially after Vice President Harris losing this Presidential election.
It is a sad commentary on the state of politics in America, and it clearly shows that there’s a two-law system in America. One system for the wealthy, rich and powerful; and one for the average everyday American. Biden had the audacity to pardon his son which is a slap in the face of all Americans. If Biden pardoned his son, what right do we have as Americans to complain if President Trump decides to pardon some of the individuals involved in the Jan. 6, Capitol attack. Of course they are totally different circumstances, but they would both include Presidential pardons.
Joe Biden argued that Hunter was unfairly subjected to selective prosecution. In a sense, that is true. The Department of Justice declined to prosecute the most serious crimes; DOJ dragged its feet for as long as they could to let the statute of limitations run out on as much of the serious stuff as possible.
So, if Hunter was only prosecuted for “political reasons,” what’s the excuse for having Trump prosecuted? Hunter can now get back to his painting career.
