Statement from President Joe Biden

Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.

The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.  

No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.

For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They’ll be fair-minded. Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice – and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further. I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.

中国人就自古有一句话叫“王子犯法与庶民同罪”。这是中国人希望的。

但是现实吗？根本不现实。人都都是有感情的，手里有权力，都会去使用的，所以说保护家人，这是人之常情。所以说希望最高权力者不为自己家人谋利利益，这是不可能的。除非一种情况 ，那种就他权欲熏心，绝情绝义，为了自己的权力地位，老婆孩子都是可以拿去送死的。

徐州一句古话， 自己一脸鸡膛轰（鸡屎），还有脸说别人？？ 自己国家有法律吗？ 还有脸说别人总统特赦？？ 咋地？ 56姐热度压不下去了？ 优衣库效果反噬了， 就开始拿总统特赦说事了？  他赦免他儿子 关我啥事？ 我只关心吃的安全不？ 老婆用的卫生巾干净不， 孩子穿的羽绒服卫生不， 这些东西我都保证不了，我他妈管美国的事，我是我屎吃多了，还是你屎吃多了？

特赦权是法律赋予的啊，没有说不能特赦谁吧

法律框架下的特权不可怕，可怕的是你不知道的特权。
能摆在台面上的特权和一个眼神的特权一对比，谁都知道哪个更可怕

法律赋予总统赦免权。这不是凌驾于法律之上吧。

裆国这这个烂事还没操心完呢，就别看其他国家了。

让米国人自己操心这事吧

让我们强烈谴责一下！

德黑兰一直干这事 看别人也干肾上腺素爆增

有权不用过期作废了

是依法赦免的，法-法-法，

这还整出英文了

地球上权利最大的男人

赦免不是法律规定的？

人家是行使法律框架内的权利！

说实在，这种赤裸裸把特权摆在明面上的好过那些看不见却天天在行使的特权
