Spinning Biden's pardon for Hunter as good for the country, or for anyone other than the Biden family, is a lot harder, though. Yes, Trump and his cronies, including the nutcase he wants to go lead the FBI, have made no secret of their plans to use and abuse whatever power they can get their hands on to prosecute Hunter Biden, as well as various other nasty plans. But on the other hand, it's clear to everyone that Hunter did commit crimes, not to mention his long career of possibly legal but still extremely dubious attempts to earn money based purely on his family connections, so those fears for what was likely to happen in the future weren't sufficient to justify such a sweeping pardon covering everything including the existing prosecution under the authority of a Democratic-led DoJ.

Surely, if only worried about Trump's DOJ going after Hunter, Joe could have pardoned Hunter only for crimes he hadn't already been charged and convicted for by Joe's own DOJ.
This is wholly corrupt.
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.
No Fucks Left to Give Joe tosses Hunter a blanket pardon

I think if he hadn't said he wouldn't pardon his son, then this would be a non-issue.

Per 'old news', his sentencing dates were Dec 12 for the gun charge and 16 for tax evasion

Trump was already going to pardon all the J6 defendants, though.

Debate tends to involve a back and forth, not just one side stating their views.

Sounds like you need to become a whistleblower and go talk to the FBI yourself, then?

Typically, whistle blower and attorney client privilege are not viewed as compatible.
