There was always corruption like Clinton pardoning Marc Rich or Biden pardoning his son (after claiming he wouldn't) but Trump is bringing it to a new level. First Blagojevich and now this guy. Really hard to justify these pardons.

I don't think Hunter Biden pardon openly stated that the US government is okay with fraud in public companies and the SEC has no power to prevent fraud, but I don't exactly read much news nowadays.

This pardon is much much worse, even worse than the Secretary of Defense using Signal to communicate military operations.

Totally agree. Although Marc Rich was pretty bad too.

Not from the US, but Biden gets a pass for his son. Trump would make Ramsay Bolton look like Mother Teresa if he had power over a Biden.
