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

I guess this will somewhat dampen the already ineffective and impotent outrage from certain corners, but Trump has plenary power to pardon whoever he likes for federal crimes, and there's no reason to believe he won't do what he's said he's going to do.

I keep seeing this framing, and it is genuinely enraging. Why are people in the media so quick to be paper over Trump's worst excesses simply because he announces them? If there is outrage over Hunter Biden, then there should be outrage over the incoming pardons of people who stormed the Capitol. But I'm certain people will find a way to twist themselves into being upset over one and merely resigned to the other.

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

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

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