Trump has talked retribution and making the DOJ do what he wants. Biden was ABSOLUTELY justified [View all]

in pardoning Hunter. Whether or not you believe Hunter has been unfairly targeted in the past, Trump is leaving virtually no doubt that Hunter would be unfairly targeted come 2025. He's made it clear not only in his rhetoric but now also in his actions, e.g. trying to make Gaetz AG and choosing Patel for FBI. (Among others.) At this point, we are pretty much assured that Trump is serious about retribution, and that Hunter is on the list.

Sure, Joe said he wouldn't pardon his son. But circumstances change, and any remaining hope for a fair resolution essentially disappeared after November 5. Letting justice play out is no longer a reasonable position when you're on an "enemies list" of those in charge of handing it out.
