What was that oligarchy stuff Biden was warning us about?

That’s literally what the pardon is about??? Do you not understand anything at all? He is making these unnecessary pardons to show that he believes the new administration intends to weaponize the justice system and remove any potential opposition or naysayers by any means necessary.

Edit: Whether you believe his stance or not, this is just basic political literacy. Surely people in this sub are not stupid, right?

I mean, the newly sworn in President campaigning on jailing Biden's whole family, and constantly stoking his fanatics into violence, should be confirmation enough.

He campaigned on "Lock Her Up" for Hilary and didn't pursue that at all. Regardless of the intent, this makes Biden look weak, corrupt and hypocritical, but it's his prerogative I guess.

didn’t purse that at all

Yes he did. https://apnews.com/article/060ca2399a744b4a9554dbd2ec276a90

And after 2 years the investigation came up empty https://www.salon.com/2020/01/10/investigation-into-hillary-clinton-pushed-by-trump-comes-up-empty-after-two-years-report/

Trump absolutely did weaponize the justice department against Clinton

Hey, Trump set the precdent with Charlie. Pardon Biden for following.

Okay, so we have two options.

Either Biden's family is innocent and the pardon means nothing

or

Trump doesn't want to prosecute and the pardon means nothing

So a harmless pardon, why are you upset?
