He received an unconditional pardon, covering every crime—even those we don’t know about since 2014. It raises a big question: what else has he done that hasn’t come to light yet?

[WilburClark-cq]

Absolutely!! An eye for an eye! What is good for the goose is good for the gander.President Trump has no choice but to pardon the January 6 hostages🇺🇸

[philipmcarthur]

why would any Republicans want Wray to continue as head of FBI ?

[tonysmith]

Free the non( FBI ) J6th the undercover agents who participated in the event!!! Free the meandering tourists!!!

An 11 year pardon that coincides when Hunter was awarded the board seat in Ukraine, are you serious?

[dressedtochill]

The ability to pardon criminals makes being president the ultimate position for a criminal kingpin.

[MIRLZY]

I can't wait to not see that white house press Secretary ever again

[Sj-cpow]

Most protesters on Jan 6 th who were incarcerated unfairly due to political bias should likely be pardoned.

[jamesjoste]

Can’t forget about overprice food, inflation high crime rates, flooding the border. I think people are gonna remember that that.

[RobinArnold-rm]

Disgusting! It is always about the rich, powerful, privileged. No surprise here .

[PureSolace]

It's tradition for the President to pardon a Turkey over Thanksgiving.

[maryrye]

I don’t care about Hunter and the pardon. I think what people are upset about is Joe lied multiple times about it.

[Magoo]

This will be his only memory....the pardoning of a convicted crook

[barbaraparker]

What Legacy? Being the worst president ever? Do we call that a good Legacy?

[allenmichaels]

Why is this new, wasn't Trump going to pardon all the J6rs anyway

[Stebokanebo]

Oh wow I get my constitutional rights violated and they throwing the book at me. Wish I could get a pardon.

[mzavros]

This isn't about Hunter and everyone knows it. Trump gonn Trump.

[mr.-.-]

Oh darn this completely affects my life. How am I supposed to live now?

[krystynacollier]

As per above, Law and justice is not equal in USA.
On the other hand, Trump pardoned Mr Kushner, Farther of his son in law, in 2020, not only that, nominated him to be US Ambassodir to France. No difference between Trump and Biden in this respect

[crystalclear]

Honestly, I didn’t think Biden would live through the end of the year.
We all knew this would happen didn’t we. Who is really upset?
