Biden, who repeatedly denied giving the "green light" to his son, finally ordered a pardon ten days before the court announced the verdict. Trump immediately jumped out to accuse him of "abuse of power," but why didn't he himself?
On December 1, US President Biden issued a statement deciding to pardon his son Hunter Biden.
Due to federal firearms charges, Hunter will be sentenced by the court on December 12.
In addition, Hunter will also be sentenced in another criminal case on December 16.
He had previously pleaded guilty to nine federal tax charges in September, including failure to declare and pay taxes, tax evasion and other charges.
Among the nine charges, there are three felonies and six misdemeanors.
Now Biden has announced this pardon decision just ten days before the court pronounces the verdict. It is obviously well planned.
If he doesn’t release his son quickly now and Trump comes to power in a month, the result can be imagined.
But the irony is that Biden has stated many times before that he will not use executive power to pardon his son or reduce his sentence. The White House spokesperson has also confirmed this many times.
But now it seems that this is just superficial.
Of course, it is not surprising that Biden made this decision, after all, he is his only son.
And this situation is not uncommon in American politics. There are many examples of people using public affairs for personal gain.
is like Trump who angrily criticized Biden because of this matter.
Trump posted a post on the evening of December 1, claiming that Biden's act of pardoning his son was an "abuse of power."
He also said, does Biden’s pardon include J6 hostages who have been imprisoned for many years?
’s so-called “j6 hostages” refer to the people detained due to the riots at the U.S. Capitol in January 2021.
In fact, Trump is not trying to "exonerate" these people, but wants to use this to satirize Biden for saying one thing and doing another, and using his power to "give the green light" to his son.
But Trump is not qualified to say these words.
During his first term, Trump exercised his pardon power and pardoned his political allies, five defendants convicted in the "Russia investigation", as well as former Republican congressmen and some celebrities.
This also includes the father of his eldest son-in-law Jared Kushner - real estate tycoon Charles Kushner.
This is exactly the same as Biden’s behavior of pardoning his own son.
But Trump did more than that. Charles Kushner, who was pardoned by him, was also nominated by him to be the US ambassador to France.
The father of her youngest daughter Tiffany's husband, Burrows was also nominated as senior adviser for Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Obviously, when it comes to "abuse of power," Trump and Biden are equally matched.
Moreover, Biden’s explanation for his move to pardon his son was obviously aimed at the Republican Party and even Trump.
Biden issued a statement, saying that he had said he would not interfere with the decisions of the U.S. Department of Justice, but he found that his son had been "selectively and unfairly prosecuted."
Biden claimed that in the absence of aggravating circumstances such as numerous crimes, multiple purchases, or fake identity purchases, others will not be prosecuted for felonies simply because there is a problem filling out a gun use application form.
Others will not be treated like criminals because they failed to pay their taxes on time after a severe addiction and then paid back the taxes, interest and penalties as required.
Biden believes that Hunter has been treated differently.
He believes that politics has led to miscarriage of justice and calls on his opponents to stop.
In fact, according to Trump's character, after he comes to power, he is likely to liquidate Biden. A decision like this pardon may be Biden's leverage.
