Hunter Biden Indicted
-
Presidential pardons for family members and employees should be disallowed. It's banana republic stuff.

@Horace said in Hunter Indicted:
Is it just taken as a given that any president will pardon family members for any crime, or are their special circumstances here?
I think both. There are instances of pardoning family (Bill Clinton did something for his brother, though I think the sentence had been served).
Other presidents have pardoned people close to them who didn’t ‘deserve’ it, IOW there was no argument that they weren’t guilty. One can surmise from that that they likely would have pardoned family members too.
Here the special circumstance is Hunter is the sole surviving child and his life is somewhat precarious as a recovering addict.

The only friend that I can think of that Trump pardoned was Kodak Black. Apparently they fvck together.

The White House is saying they won't pardon Hunter.
I expect he would pardon Hunter. If I was him, I would. It's just a question of timing.

Roger Stone? Off the top of my head. I’m not sure who else he pardoned.

Jared Kushner's father Charles, Paul Manafort his 2016 campaign chairman, Oliver Stone.
Does Steve Bannon count as a friend?

Oliver Stone
Putting conspiracy theories to mediocre films is not a pardonable offence even in the USA. It’s just bad film art that makes a lot of $$$ from moviegoers.
I think you meant Roger Stone. IMO, that SOB should do life without parole.

Turley comments on what's NOT in the indictment:
https://nypost.com/2023/12/08/opinion/hunter-indictment-designed-specifically-to-avoid-joe-biden/
In a scandal with dozens of references to the presidents and millions sent for influence and access, it took a steady hand for Weiss to avoid ever touching on President Biden’s role.
This was a truly Homeric feat — unseen since the Greek hero Odysseus won a competition by shooting an arrow through the tiny hole in a dozen ax heads.
It takes perfect aim not to avoid any contact. It is itself the very model of evasion.
