This is why the media is dying. Such hypocrites.

Remember when Hunter’s illegal activity was just a “right-wing conspiracy theory?”

ABC would be visibly losing their minds if Trump did this for one of his kids.

[basusudip]

Hey ABC, when Trump pardons J6 victims not his sons then remember this.

[Justin-jghi]

The guy that ran his entire campaign on people paying their taxes and nobody having a gun, just pardoned his son, over felony tax and firearms charges.

ABC covered for the Democratic party and the Biden family and now they can’t.

"No one is above the law", except the ruling elite.

[mmansour]

“Miscarriage of justice …“ you mean the one that he pleaded guilty to ?

[DerrickW]

"When I said everyone must pay their fair share of taxes, I didn't mean MY family. I meant all of yours."

[mikeanderson]

What happened to "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" for the last 4 years??? Complete scumbags

[DanielPvb]

So he starts WW3 and pardons a criminal. His infamy is set.

[zebrastripes]

C'mon, man. I wasn't protecting my son. I was protecting all the Ukrainian energy companies that would have suffered without his expertise.

[CrystalCooper-wz]

Cool cause for four years yall have screamed at me that it was a Russian hoax. Four years of abuse for a pardon and a movie 🙄

[robertholt]

A pardon for the last decade!!!! That pretty much admits his own guilt of being involved. A lifetime of failure, lying and corruption. What a legacy.

[anthtan]

I think what stinks about this is that he said he WOULDN’T pardon him. WH Press Sec repeated it.
Also, the blanket nature of his pardon.

[mt]

Does 10% of the pardon cover “the big guy”?

[GT_Void]

The corruption of the swamp is deep. Put innocent people in J6 jail but pardon your criminal son because nepotism.

[Neimfeltrite]

I used to be scared to go public post-conviction but this is too important. Through tears I tell you, this broke my heart. I also never thought I would say this, but FJB. As a black man, a felon, very skilled and good laborer who has served his time, paid the fines yet can't get a job and has lost almost everything under our draconian federal statues, to watch this supposedly democratic white man who said he had our best interests at heart pardon his son WHO WAS CONVICTED BY A JURY, but never served his sentence, yet forget about us, is to me the ultimate betrayal. I will never vote for a Democrat again. FJB. What about us JOE? Where's our reset button? Every person post-conviction out there should be pissed about this and re-thinking where their allegiances lay. I voted for this guy as a convict even though I was losing all of my stuff. My whole family did, and he goes and pardons his son, yet leaves the rest of us out here to the wolves. As President, we are your sons and daughters too. I don't know what party it will be, but we need to find another party.

There are hundreds literally begging for pardons who actually deserve them and you give one to your

[lynwoodreed]

If your crimes require a pardon, then you are guilty of the crimes charged.
