Democrats had better go after Jared, Ivanka, Don, and Eric with the same vigor as Republicans in 2024 if they regain the House. I’d love for someone to ask Trump this question. Trump wanted to pre-emptively pardon himself, he’d absolutely pardon his family when Dems start poking around that $2B.
Oh look. What the Justice system is supposed to look like.
Don’t know what he could be convicted of anyway, the taxes in question have already been paid. GOP most likely realizes this but they’ll cry about nepotism or something when nothing happens.
I’d have pardoned him already
I wouldn’t begrudge Biden for going back on this promise after the 2026 mid-terms, assuming he wins re-election. The plea deal that was torpedoed is what any normal citizen would have gotten with no prior criminal record.
Oh hell I almost think he should do it. Not because Hunter Biden deserves it but just to piss off republicans
Republicans are now saying that these charges are to protect Hunter and The Big Guy. Of course a couple of days ago Republicans were also saying that Hunter wasn’t being charged yet because he was getting special treatment from Weiss, you know the guy President Trump put on the Hunter Biden case five years ago, because his dad is The Big Guy. I’m beginning to think these a*sholes on the right can’t make up their minds. Do you want Hunter held accountable or not?
That’s a good, principled response.
Should they wait to try him until after the election?
last day in office “we pardon hunter Biden”..they dont pardon them till they are on the way out. I will tell you right now though, this Hunter Biden guy shouldnt be in office and we should should remove him. I know I will never vote for hunter Biden again after this.
He’d for sure pardon him in garbage time if he loses
I too believe that no one is above the law.
This quote from Hunter Biden on Moby’s podcast really resonated with me. I feel bad for Joe. Republicans don’t give a damn about Hunter Biden. They’re just doing all of this to hurt Joe.
“They are trying to destroy a presidency. And so it’s not about me … What they’re trying to do is they’re trying to kill me, knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle.”
Trump would pardon his son in a heartbeat.
Honestly, I wouldn’t care. Bailing out your kids is something every parent does/should do
It’s nice to have a president that obeys the law.
If he wins again he will 100% pardon him though. There are political calculations at the moment.
So how is this going to affect Hunter’s run for presidency if he gets convicted? /s
Pardon him 1 day after reelection, say “pardon deez nuts” and tell them if they don’t like it to change the way pardoning works. Only way to get any changes.
That’s what integrity looks like.
If he loses he absolutely should pardon him before he leaves office.
The American public will have already chosen lawlessness and authoritarianism.
Might as well give them a preview of what they asked for.
Big if true.
Again, this is the knife being brought to the gun fight by democrats. They’ll get forced to take the moral high ground, which is the right thing but trump will pardon every J6 if given the chance.
This shows that Democrat’s are traitors and cowards who protect criminals for politician gang. Unlike Repulikkans
I’d wait until the second term and then tell everyone to eat rocks cause I’m helping my son. I think the strategy is smart though because from what I read of the newest indictments they don’t have much teeth. Why go out and say something controversial when you probably won’t need to anyway.
Although honestly I wouldn’t blame Joe at all. If they were violent crimes then no way, but these charges are sort of ridiculous. We all know Trump would pardon Kushner or Don Jr. He probably wouldn’t help Eric without changing that $10 million bribe.
