President Joe Biden will not pardon Hunter Biden if he’s convicted on federal charges, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday.
Asked during the daily briefing if the president would pardon or commute his son’s sentence if he gets convicted on the gun charges against him, Jean-Pierre told reporters he would not. It’s the first time the White House has explicitly said a potential pardon is not on the table following Hunter Biden’s indictment this week.
In her response, Jean-Pierre noted that she answered a similar question after the president’s son was first hit with a felony gun charge.
I reckon that he would if a) Hunter is sent to prison and b) Joe doesn’t get re-elected.
I can’t imagine that Joe would care enough about the bad press at the end of his career to leave Hunter inside.
Actually, in that scenario, it would be more important than ever, assuming Trump was taking office. Biden muddying the waters with inappropriate pardons would weaken any attempt by the courts to stop Trump from pardoning himself.
It wouldn’t weaken it unless the court tried and failed to stop it. Someone would have to sue Biden for it and I’m unsure there’s a party with standing.
Don’t you dare use logic and shit up in here. There’s no way a politician actively campaigning isn’t telling the full truth about everything.
