N/A - Arpaio's pardon was issued after his conviction, but prior to his being sentenced" Wikipedia We really need to encourage people to look these things up more often.
He had no option given Trump's pick of Kash Patel as head of FBI and Pam Bondi as Attorney General - he should also pardon everyone involved in the Jan 6th Investigation and beyond - they were seeking truth - he is seeking vengeance. There is no argument.

Aren't these the great christians who wanted bibles in school? Are they going to deleted the story about the 'Prodigal son, and how the father forgive him" I am so sick of these double standard😮😮
There's a big difference between personally forgiving a son and in running a corruption scheme for years, committing many crimes with your son, and then pardoning him as president with a blanket for both public and yet to be public crimes for that period of time. Biden is showing his massive corruption here. It's much, much different than embracing his son with forgiveness.
This man lost his mother and suffer a traumatic brain injury as a small child then lost his big brother as an adult anybody working in mental and substance abuse harm reduction knows that traumatic brain injuries are often self treated with drugs and alcohol. No surprise. The problem is America does not know want to deal with our drug and alcohol problem while also being heavily armed.
... If you believe his warm and cozy words meant to cover up the massive corruption Joe and Hunter Biden have committed for a long period of time! Look closer. Biden has lied to you and all America all along. He's a major criminal, committed massive corruption, and his son has too.
Thank you James. I am relieved that Joe Biden did do the right thing. Hunter has been through a bone crusher of congressional proceedings aimed at hurting his father. Survived. Did not return to drugs. Remained composed.
Cool, just don't complain in the future when Trump lies or uses his power in a way that benefits himself of his allies. Because Biden has just shown he was always a liar & hypocrite who would use all of Trump's excuses when it benefitted him.
It's a presidential power that's rarely been abused (outside of Nixon) before Trump came into office. American people have apparently said they don't care about such norms, otherwise they wouldn't have re-elected a Convicted Felon to a second term in office.
The USA are certainly the laughing stock of the world. And they’ve historically told other countries how to “govern” .. you couldn’t make this stuff up 🥴🇺🇸🇬🇧
Here's my prediction for the next election: Trump will appoint Don Jr as the new leader and candidate for president for the Republican Party. Then Trump Sr will stand candidate to be vice-president, and once in power, Don Jr steps down, making Trump president again. All legal.
I don't know if Joe Biden did the "right" thing in pardoning his son. All I know is that my heart understands. And my heart is my only compass these days, living in this land of madness we call America.
"The right thing" was inexcusable because Hunter used his position to have his hand in the till, the man is just as bad as his father, no wonder the US is collapsing before our very eyes and so it should given the leader of the free world is nothing more than a con man and a crook. The biden family history is littered with such appalling circumstances one can only say "karma".

American Veteran here. I immediately had the feeling that it lends credence to Trump pardoning everyone we already assume he's going to pardon. Then realized, we already know he's going to pardon them if he wants to anyhow, this makes no difference to Trumps game plan. As a father, I'd do the same.

It's nothing Trump would not have done and much earlier. He pardonned his father in law Kirschner. Plus stats show that the department of justice was harsher on Hunter than most people having done the same thing.

@@CecileBonvouloir Why don't you wait to find out what the Jan 6th protesters went through in prison? Punished far more than they deserved. Thinking the Democrats are the 'nice, kind' lot is gullible in the extreme.
First time here. I disagree with almost everything said and almost all the comments but I’ll be back because none of us should be isolated from views with which we disagree. Biden pardoned his criminal son simply because he loves him. Most of us would - nothing to do with politics or justice.
@@jdizzle1779 That's the spin at least! Whatever the reason, I can't find it in my heart to condemn him for saving his son. Above politics we are all human. In a broader context, between the perceived (and I'm using my words carefully on this channel) weaponization of justice against Trump, the pardoning of Hunter Biden, the widespread condemnation of the MSM as biased, the populace of the US and indeed the west as a whole are left with massive disbelief in the pillars of our societies: Justice, Law, and Truthful Media. I don't see this widely discussed, but it's a catastrophic development that renders our societies inherently unstable. Those three institutions are the bedrock and cornerstone of democracy and the perception is that they are corrupt through and through. I offer no comment here on whether the perception is correct because that's not the point I am trying to make.
Any father would do the same. In the end, I don't care. Trump would do whatever he was going to do regardless of this. Trump pardoned his criminal conspirators...Biden pardoned his son... I get the optics of it is distasteful, but it's at least understandable.
When the other side refuse to acknowledge the existence of rules, it's a waste of time even entertaining the outrage they're always going to spew. Pardons, by definition, are selective. They're all unjust as they overturn supposedly impartial court decisions. I wouldn't worry about it in the slightest
you said it yourself, the idea of an elected politician being able to overturn a court ruling on a whim is completely against the principles of the republic, yet you say not to worry about it?
@selseyonetwenty4631 I do. Unless the topic is, should we get rid of pardons altogether. Which it isn't. Don't get upset because you support the other team. It's just embarrassing

@@Maestro1886 Pardons are there to right an injustice. Hunters pardon falls easily under that - unlike Trump's numerous pardons to date. To feign outrage over this is like republicans clutching their pearls over being called garbage when they were calling their opponents lunatic left, communists, the enemy within, people who hated america and wanted to destroy it and much worse that would likely get my comment flagged on YT if I included it.
@@Maestro1886 : meh. The American public showed it didnt care about morals and ethics when they elected a criminal. So why should they care about hunter? I certainly dont. What happens in his life is of zero consequence to me. He's not about to become the president or anything.
I am glad that you had a rethink. I think Joe Bidens reasoning is powerful and spot on. And I do agree with you, that you should have taken some time to think about it before wading in with your opinion, as you put it. 🙂
Trump made up the laptop to serve his own purpose of having a reason to attack Hunter/Biden. The laptop was never found but somehow its still being talked about. A bit like when Trump told the story of eating cat and dogs. Even Vance admitted it was a made up story created to show up the Dems. Trump plays by a different rule book and I don't like how this is filtering out to world politics and social norms. We are in for a rough future.
Pardon Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, Kinzinger, anyone on Jan 6 House investigation committee and any journalist in peril now, Joe. He can do this even before any charges are made. Protect the people who protected democracy. I hate he did this, especially in the way he did, feeling sorry for himself and giving Trump ammo to break him further than Biden said he did.
so why he do not have done it earlier? and for sure this doesn't have anything to do with the future president announcing he will imprison all Biden's, fire, and punish the judges who are in cases against him. But I guess for you its fine when innocent people get arrested and killed. so long they are different from you.
He doesn't know if he's alive in a minute and it's probably the only thing he could do for his son. If he believes that Trump will seek revenge on his opponents, the press, and others who suit him. Especially since it is his right to pardon whoever he wants to on a federal level.
Firstly: Biden not giving his son a pardon would have meant him probably dying while his son was in prison. Assuming Jill outlives him, that wouldn’t be great. Secondly, nothing Biden did or didn’t do regarding pardons would change what Trump does regarding pardons for Jan 6 people and others and thirdly: Of course Republicans are attacking Biden for this, but could you imagine Trump if Biden didn’t do it? I bet he would call Biden a terrible father for leaving his son in prison.
So it's ok to put people above the law for sentimental reasons? Dangerous precedent to set when the Democrat party promotes itself as a bastion of transparency and the rule of law.
He doesn't need to. Read the court documents and come back to us. Once you have you will realise how bogus it all is but here we all are lapping it up and being hypocrites. 😂 Golden.
I know attention span is hard for conservatives but Trump did the same thing and everyone lauded him. "That's what you do as president." Just like when Trump dodged taxes and dodged draft. "That's what smart people do. That's why they're so successful."
Stop waffling James we all know why he Pardoned his son! He's a Socialist, so... Orwell said it best. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. - George Orwell
he doesn't, and really Joe demonstrably did the bidding of third parties, Trump? The reason you hate him is because he is self centered and egotistical, how can you believe that AND believe Trump is going to roll over and do the bidding of someone else? Does that make any sense?
If I was in Biden's position I would have pardoned my son. For all of the reasons given in this video. Given the reasons in this video I have to seriously question the moral judgement of people who wouldn't have. I'm not going to sacrifice my son just to prove to Trumpists how fair I am. Trumpists are not fair in their thinking at all, so why would I bother? The Trump regime would have gone after Hunter just to get revenge on Joe. We should all know that he would have done this. So how would Biden have been on the side of justice by not pardoning his son?
So, if your son came home from school every day with cuts and bruises you would just stay uninvolved? This would be different if Hunter wasn't Biden's son. To accuse Biden of not having natural feelings as a father is a bit over the top. But I could see Trump leaving his kids in such a situation.
In point of fact, many "downtrodden" folks have received both presidential and gubernatorial pardons. Do people even read anymore? This stuff is public record. You can google it!
I thought for a second you were going to be impartial and call out a wrong when it’s on your side off the aisle, but no, you found a way to justify it. How silly of me
There's a subtle difference between him pardoning his son and Trump pardoning those doing his biding. One of these cases are criminal by proxy, the other isn't

Hunter Biden if treated like a normal citizen would have taken a plea deal and probably wouldnt be in prison. The republicans whined and cried and basically made it a political action because they dont like the Bidens. It was ridicolous at the time.
WHY is it wrong, though? The man certainly deserves it as much as any other person who has ever received it. It's legal, Constitutionally prescribed, and traditional. If it was NOT his son, he'd be expected to do it. But because it's his son, suddenly it's wrong. WHY? No one else has the power to correct this injustice and the courts have been proven to be acting politically plus the President's son in prison faces dangers ordinary prisoners do not. Let's just be real here. He was NEVER going to be allowed to go to prison any more than Trump was.
@eoslovestithonus I didn't claim he never had the power to do it, I just think it's completely wrong that they can do it at all, most people think politicians are out of touch elites who couldn't care less about the average person's existence, these types of things don't help

I don't see this widely discussed, but it's a catastrophic development that renders our societies inherently unstable. Those three institutions are the bedrock and cornerstone of democracy and the perception is that they are corrupt through and through. I offer no comment here on whether the perception is correct because that's not the point I am trying to make.

It’s weird how you’d worry about a laptop and not the corruption of a certain Donald J. Trump eh?
Trump made up the laptop to serve his own purpose of having a reason to attack Hunter/Biden. The laptop was never found but somehow its still being talked about.
A bit like when Trump told the story of eating cat and dogs. Even Vance admitted it was a made up story created to show up the Dems. Trump plays by a different rule book and I don't like how this is filtering out to world politics and social norms. We are in for a rough future.

He doesn't know if he's alive in a minute and it's probably the only thing he could do for his son. If he believes that Trump will seek revenge on his opponents, the press, and others who suit him. Especially since it is his right to pardon whoever he wants to on a federal level.
he should go further and preemptively pardon all federal employees and Jack Smith's team
It's not what you know, it's who you know...
Trump knew Epstein. His lawyer represented Epstein and Weinstein.
Firstly: Biden not giving his son a pardon would have meant him probably dying while his son was in prison. Assuming Jill outlives him, that wouldn’t be great. Secondly, nothing Biden did or didn’t do regarding pardons would change what Trump does regarding pardons for Jan 6 people and others and thirdly: Of course Republicans are attacking Biden for this, but could you imagine Trump if Biden didn’t do it?
