On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said that “As a father, I can understand” President Joe Biden’s “reasoning, given this change in circumstances” for pardoning his son, Hunter and argued that Biden went back on his prior vows that he would not pardon his son due to some of the nominations that President-Elect Donald Trump put forward, and “I am concerned about what’s going to happen to the scope of the pardon power going forward.”
Coons said that he thinks the nominations of Kash Patel and Matt Gaetz and the lack of stringent opposition to the Patel nomination caused the President to believe that the Trump administration would go after his political opponents, which caused Biden to go back on his previous statements that he wouldn’t pardon his son and that Biden also was influenced by the prospect of Hunter going to prison and “As a father, I can understand his reasoning, given this change in circumstances.”

Yep was just about to post that
Of course it’s Trump’s fault! Why, that’s indisputable! (eye roll).
With all due respect (none), Senator....
Fuq off.
Shouldn’t Coons be locked up?
He was running around claiming Biden wasn’t failing and then switched over saying kamala was competent. A real authority!!! LOL
““I am concerned about what’s going to happen to the scope of the pardon power going forward.”
Well Coons. You can’t do anything about it unless you wanna get busy on a constitutional Amendment. That’s straight up Article II stuff.
Coons is a lying lunatic putz.
What will the "rationale" be to justify the pardons when Biden gives one to his brother and sister-in-law?
-PJ
Coons is a liar. He has no problem with this. In fact, I’d go so far he wants Biden to “pardon” the entire federal bureaucracy and every democrat in office.
Just wait Coons. There are more pardons coming for the entire Biden family and you will have to try and explain them all.
Leave it to Coons to defend the latest lies of Joe Biden.
Oh, “going forward”, of course.
I forget. Someone remind me:
Did Biden qualify his statement, saying that he might pardon Hunter, depending upon Trump's nominations, or not?
Nope, didn't think so!
Regards,
And then he cried.
