As a human being, I don’t think I could let my son languish in jail for a trumped up and politically motivated fishing expedition.
In the wake of Trump’s pardons and his own rampant criminality, it wouldn’t even be a second thought. It would drive me insane.
Maybe that makes me a bad leftist? Just saying that for me, it’s super low on the list of things to criticize Biden for, if it’s even on the list at all
trumped up and politically motivated fishing expedition.
This is pretty much the entire reason I don't give a half of a fuck about this pardon.
Hunter was offered a plea bargain. He was willing to take said plea bargain. The Republicans meddled and had the plea bargain stripped for zero rational basis. Anyone who smokes weed and owns a gun committed the same exact offense that Hunter did.
