Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter despite promising repeatedly to

It wasn't a very narrow pardon either: it was a blanket pardon for
anything Hunter Biden did over a 10 year period.

 

He waited until late Sunday evening to announce the pardon, no doubt
hoping that no one would notice. I wonder how the media will react? I
wonder how Trump will react?

 Trump doesn't give a shit. He intends to pardon himself for any federal
crimes he may have committed in the past and into the future, and he
would have done so regardless of Hunter benefitting from his father's
power.

 But now he has cover for doing it. He can point to Biden's self-serving pardon
and say, sauce for the goose.

Trump doesn't have to point to Biden, he can point to the six self-interested pardons he did in the first term.
