The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

    Maybe at the state level. Not federal.

    Are you pretending to be wildly uninformed, or just a bad actor refusing to acknowledge the alleged influence peddling operation this entire thing was about?

      What is this alleged “influence peddling operation”?

        Hunter Biden was reportedly accepting bribes in Ukraine on behalf of his father.

          Ah, the Biden Ukraine Conspiracy Theory. . Seems to be a load of bullshit by Republicans and Putin…

            Ahh, so in this comment you’re pretending to be informed?

            You know who else is promoting this conspiracy? Joe Biden for pardoning his son for crimes related to it.

              That was to stop investigations writ large, it was not specific to Ukraine.

              You might as well say Joe Biden pardoned his son for any crimes he commited on the moon. Or for being one of the definitely-real 2000 Mules, or for helping manufacture Covid in Wuhan.

              He’s pardoned from all of those too. Which means he did them all, right? Biden is promoting all those conspiracies too!

                The pardon specifically set the start date for the day Hunter started at Burisma in Ukraine, which is ground zero for the bribery and influence peddling scandal. Not quite the tenuous connection you claim.

                You working for a government or private astroturf farm?

              I can use Google to inform myself, you should try it yourself. And the wikipedia article is pretty clear that the burisma connection is a conspiracy theory. Or do you have any proof for your theory?

                So we’re gonna let Google and Wikipedia determine what’s true? Two big tech companies widely known for their collaboration with and manipulation by government and corporate narrative control?

                Hunter Biden already provided the proof with his emails. He left evidence all over the place. And now that he no longer has any rights to claim the fifth amendment when being questioned for these crimes, we might finally get some answers.

                But I’m not quite clear why the president openly pardoning for crimes during the period of this scandal isn’t enough of a smoking gun. A presidential signature acknowledging these crimes for the world to see takes us waaaaay past the point of “conspiracy,” and eclipses your Wikipedia-based denial.

                  Wikipedia is a big tech company? Wikipedia known for collaboration with government?

                  Emails which were found by a blind guy, got lost by rudy Giuliani and were most likely obtained by russian hackers?

                  Give me some sources for your claims or take your tinfoil hat and get lost.
