Interesting idea. But he's not as spiteful as 47.

I think that would be genuinely off-putting to almost everyone. The right time to do that would have been a year and a half ago.

Candidly, this is the only reason I can see for pardoning Hunter right now.

Yes, but why NOW? He's got 7 weeks left.

Sentencing in his tax case was scheduled for next week in LA

I know. So why not wait until after sentencing at least?

Doing it the Sunday night of Thanksgiving weekend has a certain “taking out the trash” quality to it. People will be focused on other things.

Seems better to get it out of the way now before the new Senate starts their confirmation hearings in January. Gives a month to let things settle down a bit and not let them draw equivalences.

Equivalences will be drawn.

they would have been anyways. being consistent is not a useful trait anymore

Always, but better to have this month than doing it right in the middle of hearings. Especially if Biden does more pardons and death row clemencies like he should.

And maybe that Rolling Stone article about the Trumpers laughing at his decorum really pissed him off. I probably would have considered a drone strike after that.
