    I am not surprised that  Biden didn't allow his son to become a martyr. Good job, Joe.

    So you believe AG Merrick Garland deliberately targeted Hunter Biden??? Interesting.

    Do your homework. The investigation was underway before Garland became AG. He and Biden didn't interfere with it, but they didn't start it.

    Don't file your taxes and see if you are "selected" for investigation.  Then lie on you FISA gun application.  

    (Hunter failed to file taxes in 2017 and 2018. The investigation started from those failed to file returns.) 

    He broke the laws, he can feel bad and say he admitted to it.  But that crap doesn't fly for most people.  We would feel bad and sorry in the jail. 

    There was a special prosecutor who filed charges and got convictions,  are you saying the DOJ, IRS, FBI etc are biased?

    Lie on a gun application and never use the gun in a crime? You won't be prosecuted. Don't file your taxes and later pay them in full as well as the fines, you won't be charged.  

    And I still never thought Merritt Garland targeted anybody as you implied.

    Sure no American other than Hunter Biden has ever been or would be charged with:
    1) tax evasion (millions of dollars)
    2) FARA violation
    3) crack cocaine
    4) sex trafficking
    5) illegal possession of a firearm

    Just would never happen....(sarcasm)

    He wasn't charged with 3 of those 5. The ones he did get charged with are rarely prosecuted, under the circumstances I described earlier - not using the gun, paying all taxes and late fees in full, even millions. You clearly have a different set of facts, so of course you have a different opinion.

    Garland slow walked the IRS investigation which allowed the statute of limitations to expire on the millions he avoided taxes on.  (According to two whistle-blowers)  So NO he did not pay all of his taxes, he waited out the clock with Garlands help. 

    The lying on a gun application is indeed charged against people, yes, it is usually discovered while investigating another crime.  As was the case, with Hunter.  (Rapper Kodiak Black was imprisoned for this) 

    Yes, the the DOJ (the same one Biden claims targeted his son),  chose not to charge for the other crimes. FARA (Manfort was imprisoned for this) 

    We know he was a Crack addict....are you claiming that is not charged often???  Who was in possession of a firearm....that is illegal. 

    FBI has the sex trafficking evidence on the Laptop.  Trust me if you or I had the what he had on his laptop, we would be in prison.  FBI also sat on that evidence for years as well.

    Good for President Biden.  He should also issue a blanket pardon for every single person on Trump's revenge hit list like Jack Smith and his team, Mueller and his team, etc.

    And they our system is fair and not 2 tiered....Biden's actions and his administration's actions have proven this is not the case.

    Who says it's not two-tiered? Trump should have been criminally, not civilly,  charged for the Trump University fraud. And of course, his $25K contribution to AG candidate Pam Bondi, who declined to prosecute as Florida AG had nothing to do with it. He also should have been criminally, not just civilly charged for misusing charitable donations to the Trump Foundation. Rich, powerful people have always had advantages.

    At least we agree that it is indeed 2 tiered and biased...

    Of course it isn't fair.  Trump pardoned Kushner's father, Steve Bannon, Lil Wayne, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Rod Blagojevich, Kodak Black, Joe Arpaio, etc.  You can find the full list here:

    What about.....

    Trump never claimed for years that he would not pardon anyone.  Much less any specific person. Biden did.  We all knew it was a lie.  He should have pardoned him from the start why waste our time and tax money....

    OMG, who can support a politician who lied? Certainly not MAGA. (sarcasm)

    Biden changed his mind. Get over it.

    Trump lies every hour of every day.  I don't see you mentioning that.

    I'm not surprised. 

    Just as I wasn't surprised when then-President Trump pardoned his son-in-law's father, as was already mentioned.


    Not overly impressed but impressed with Hunter's words after his pardon. And I'm not well-versed on all the details on all the presidential pardons in history.

    I wonder if pardons within families would be tempting if we ourselves were president.

    I am not surprised either.  He should have done it from the start.

    Never, ever, desiring to be a President, I can only imagine what it'd be like to be a President, let alone also being an individual person going through life, like all of us. Life can change in a day for all of us. I' m thinking he may have been possibly thinking different things, been in a different place in his life since when it all started, and certainly his public and professional life has changed a lot. He may not have planned on changing his mind. When one changes his/her mind, sometimes that doesn't necessarily mean, to me, that they're lying.

    I, also, think he may have just changed his mind.

    And, like I said in answer, I know Presidents in the USA have been pardoning people for a long time for whatever reasons.

    You lost a wife and daughter in a car crash and a son to cancer. What would you do to protect your last surviving son? Pardon him?

    Exactly, so why lie about it? Just say that is my kid and yes I am gonna pardon him.   He is clean and sober now etc.....

    Should have  just pardoned him from the start, waste of time and money. This post was edited by my2cents at December 6, 2024 4:27 PM MST
