A Judge’s Comments on Hunter Biden’s Tax Case Sum Up the Biggest Problem With His Recent Pardon
Michael A. Letts
President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden – with years attached for personal reasons – still bothers me in a number of ways. Here’s a guy who went back on his promise not only to lawmakers but also to the American people. All for the sake of protecting his son’s hide, as well as his own.
But I think some recent comments provided by Federal District Judge Mark C. Scarsi really sum up the big problem with the pardon, which took place early last week.
Speaking with NBC News earlier in the week, Scarsi, who was also working on Biden’s then-tax case, believes that the pardon can serve as a major example of mischaracterization.
"The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history," Scarsi noted this past week.
Exactly. I think Biden clearly overstepped his territory for the sake of taking care of his family. It wasn’t so much about going against a promise he made, but really about defining his own level of justice.
