I think Trump winning the election and announcing Kash Patel as FBI director has something to do with the pardon - and that if Harris had won he would not have pardoned him.
But that's a different timeline/reality that we do not get to experience.
Addendum: seeing some chatter about more pardons to come, and some thoughts that Biden should just blanket pardon everyone on Kash Patel's enemy list (who the heck keeps and publishes an enemies list?) - or even every elected Democrat to prevent abusive investigations/arrests.
It is humane and understandable as a father why he did it, it is also wrong. I’d like to think in a world without Trump he wouldn’t have done it and it was just the relentless promise of persecution by Trump that caused him to do it, but it doesn’t make much of a difference since it is done now.
In British law the “prerogative of mercy” can be traced back to the reign of King Ine of Wessex in the seventh century. Why the powers of a monarch are bestowed on an elected official is beyond me.
Looking forward to you trumpeting the manufacturing and infrastructure projects that occur under Trump's admin due to Biden's actions - 'cause y'all don't seem to recognize that supply side-driven inflation was a thing that happened.
The hypocrisy is just amazing although, after all these years it shouldn’t be. The day after Trump names Jared Kushner’s father as his nominee for ambassador to France the Republicans act all offended that Biden pardoned his son. Conveniently, forgetting the nepotism, and the fact that Trump himself pardoned Kushner‘s father. They’ve all been standing on their soapbox, claiming that special counsels are unconstitutional and overlook the fact that Hunter was being prosecuted by a republican special counsel. From the beginning, I felt this was political in nature. I’m glad Biden did it. The nominations of Kash Patel and Pam Bondi signal that Trump truly intends on fulfilling his retribution plans.

It would be fitting.
Pardon "every elected Democrat?"

Considering the Trump admin is talking about abusing the legal system, yeah - there's people talking about it.
Are you really so surprised that that would be the case?
abusing
That’s rich!
Its alright Cooty, we know you're an upstanding member in the cult.

The pardon is legal and far less concerning to me than the damage done to this nation by Biden administration policies and incompetence.
Politicians run for office for a lot of reasons but not primarily to make the USA a better place.
"Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man."
Mine and another 75,000,000 voters - enough to overcome Trump hate.
It's a "Big Lebowski" quote.

What is a Big Lebowski"?
