Well, this is a bit awkward.....
It's the worst thing he could have done. He set the president now for Trump to pardon himself and gave value to the theory that people were going after Trump for political reasons.
Of all the things wrong with Biden this is potentially the most damaging thing is time in office. Future Americans presidents and families are now above the law

Trump will do what he wants regardless.

He's President for a month. I don't blame him for looking after his son.

If it was the other way around however imagine the fume on here.
 
….any democracy that fails to recognise the Rule of Law is not a true democracy. To call it the ‘greatest democracy in the free world’ is a total sham.

Agree. The presidential pardon thing is an anti-democratic, anti-rule of law disgrace.

Biden another in a long line of allowing people to swerve justice. Made all the worse by his repeated denials that he would do so for his bellend of a son. Pretty disgraceful from Biden.

(See, it’s easy to criticise, when you’re not part of a cult following)
 
Raw political power on full display. Only the naive will be surprised at this decision.

Trump's greatest gift is his ability to undermine the public's faith in institutions and dynasties. The Biden family's downfall is almost complete. A couple of Joe's brothers also deserve to go through some public muckraking. The Biden family corruption didn't begin and end with Hunter and Joe. It's been ongoing for half a century.

That's why the US is first & foremost a constitutional republic. Part of those powers the republic set-up was to allow Presidential pardons. It is the rule of law. It's just a rule of law some don't like.
