Reaction on both sides is mixed in response to Joe Biden’s sprawling pardon last night of his son, Hunter.
Claiming his son had been “singled out” and “treated differently” by the Department of Justice and federal judges, Biden not only absolved Hunter of the two criminal convictions for which he was set to be sentenced this month but any crime over a nearly 11-year period:
Be It Known, That This Day, I, Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States, Pursuant to My Powers Under Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, of the Constitution, Have Granted Unto
ROBERT HUNTER BIDEN
A Full and Unconditional Pardon ...... [snip]
I will leave it to others, including the great Miranda Devine, to detail how the decade-long international Biden family crime spree will end without legal accountability for those—including Joe himself—involved. Or explain how the pardon represents another lie told by “my word as a Biden” Joe or speculate that more pardons, perhaps for his brother Jim and every other relative who benefitted from the family’s global grift, are in the making.
Instead, I tip my hat to Joe Biden for laying the groundwork for President-elect Donald Trump to offer similarly-generous clemency to all January 6 defendants on Day One of his presidency. ....

All of that and more, however, represents the torment endured by every J6er who, unlike Hunter, did not have the political pull, the means, or public sympathy to successfully prevail over a weaponized legal and judicial system. And while Hunter escapes scot-free, four trials of J6ers begin in Washington today while others face sentencing before judges with a proven track record of contempt for J6 defendants.
......the task ahead for Trump and his team just got that much easier.
Pardon them all.

Given Trump's statement of yesterday, I now think there is a good chance he will.

Any recompense for what they’ve been subjected to in this nearly 4 year time frame. Any prosecution of those that maimed or injured some of them?
I dont even know why this isn’t a 100 percent given.
They gonna hold it against Trump in his third term?
Free them all.
Free them all and make them whole.
For sure.
Free political prisoners.
Well, one thing is for sure. Slow Joe’s pardon of Hunter will make it much easier for Trump to pardon the J6’ers. When Trump issues that pardon, the Democrats can say nothing that wouldn’t sound hypocritical.
Oh this is coming. And the liberal meltdown when it happens will be glorious to watch.
Unless he did it intentionally to spite the Dems for shoving him aside . . . .
There were some violent ones.
Almost all J6ers should get pardoned or have their sentences commuted.
Some instigators should definitely not get pardoned.
yes. anything less would be unconscionable injustice, and a resumption of bankrupt, fool republican partisanship. hopefully Trump ‘won’t be fooled again.’
” the liberal meltdown when it happens will be glorious to watch”
DJT should have them all to the WH for dinner and a hero’s awards presentation.
What about the two cops, the one who killed A. Babbitt and the one who beat the other woman to death? They need to be prosecuted outside DC - can’t get an impartial jury in DC, no way, no how.
DJT should have them all to the WH for dinner and a hero’s awards presentation.
Present them each with a Medal of Freedom.
Were any of them charged? Govt assets they be.
Leftists are all for Biden pardoning family. I’m all for Trump pardoning his family of J6’ers.
Let them hoot and holler. Nobody cares what they think anymore.
Pardon all except those who were violent.
And while were at it, prosecute, convict, and hang Ashli Babbit’s killer.
If the Democrats want to deflect a firestorm, Joe should pardon the J6ers. What possible good does it do them to keep them in jail?
Agree. Every Single One!
Absolutely.
