President Joe Biden issued pardons to several close family members Monday in the final minutes of his presidency.
“My family has been subjected to unrelenting attacks and threats, motivated solely by a desire to hurt me — the worst kind of partisan politics,” Biden wrote in a statement. “Unfortunately, I have no reason to believe these attacks will end.”
“That is why I am exercising my power under the Constitution to pardon James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden,” he continued. “The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.”

The man who professed to abide by the law. Said this failure, “Nobody is above the law!” History will rate his presidency.
Merrick Garland and Chris Wray have a made a complete mockery of our injustice system.
New level of meaning to Trumps “draining the swamp”
why did hunter get his pardon a month before the rest of them?
Saying is: Blood is thicker than water.
…as if Briben’s “abide by judgement” statements held any water.
A president whom history will record as a schyster. He was president in name only, and was not effective from day 1. He helped his son monetize the office of vice president and actively participated in his illegal activities. He will not be held criminally liable, but history will remember his days of infamy.
Why do you editorialize? It is a precaution,
The only real criminal was inaugurated today.
Biden was a lifetime public servant whose policies were aimed at improving the lives of the people at large, though you may not prefer those policies, those are the facts.
Another fact, trump only cares about himself.
