Going back three decades when everyone thought a “war on drugs” would be a good idea is also lazy to bring into this conversation. As President, Biden freed more victims of that war than all other presidents

Biden sponsored the crime bill that put those people behind bars in the first place.
Biden abused his powers to pardon his son for crimes that other people will remain in prison for. Crimes that are more severely punished because of Biden.

Its actually quite relevant to the conversation

Abused his power?

Abused his power?

Yes, I would say that pardoning your own son as president is a conflict of interest, unethical, and an abuse of power. It demonstrates that Hunter is above the laws that Joe Biden helped architect. I'm surprised that this sentiment is so controversial.

No no it's not.

Did his actions breach the rules in place for issuing pardons?
