Joe Biden has pardoned his son, but at what cost?

This won't change what Trump does in this space, but it does legitimise it.
Awful.

Emily was spot on! The system IS broken and it WILL be used as fodder for retribution. Thank Gawd Biden had the power to pardon his son. Who the hell wouldn't? IF he hadn't, Hunter likely would've never seen the light of day again when the likes of this hideous Trump administration takes control.

Trump goons interfered with the plea bargain, pure politics.
But hey I see your new ambassador to France is a pervert.
I'm not American btw
Zero cost is the answer. There will be no political price to pay.
And Trump doesn’t need this excuse of a precedent to do whatever he’s going to do.
He's under no obligation to sacrifice his son's freedom from vexatious lawsuits just to keep the chattering classes and armchair moralists happy.
Criticising autocratic states for bending the law to the leadership will is no longer possible.
Joe’s legacy will be a mixed bag as are all. This will be the least of it.
