Trump pardons Devon Archer, former Hunter Biden business associate

Source: USA Today

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump pardoned Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, the former president’s son, for his conviction for committing fraud against a Native American tribe involving more than $60 million in bonds.

Trump said he had heard from “many people” that Archer was treated unfairly because he became a witness for congressional Republicans who were investigating possible corruption of former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter through the son’s business deals.

“They think he was treated very unfairly,” Trump said of his advisers. “He was a victim of a crime, as far I’m concerned. So we’re going to undo that.”

“Congratulations, Devon,” Trump said, holding the paperwork aloft after signing it at the White House.

Just like he signalled with Jan6 pardons that hurting law enforcement officers is A-OK if done on his behalf.

And defrauded a Native American group. Hunter had nothing to do with this guys other 'business'.

Sounds like someone up Trump's alley.

People who don't get them will feel personally slighted and offended.

What do you guys think? Is Russia Boy gonna spontaneously discover self-control?

This will get funny.
