Biden was vindicated pardoning Hunter (infosec.pub)

What every pardon defender said will happen, did happen. Trump and the DoJ are going after everyone they can. If Biden hadn't pardoned Hunter, the J6 comitee and others, they would have been indicted too.

In retrospect, Biden did the correct thing.

In retrospect, if Biden thought Trump would abuse his power to such a degree Biden should have taken advantage of that enormous power given to the office of the POTUS by SCOTUS before he left office.

He did. He used that power to ignore the Leahy law.
