I know I'm late to the party but it isn't surprising that Joe Biden pardoned his corrupt son—a corrupted family will always protect themselves.
We've known for a while or have speculated that Hunter Biden wouldn't face any real punishment. The mainstream media defended him and lied to cover up the Hunter Biden laptop leaks, they downplayed his drug abuse and insisted that Biden supported Law and Order and proper justice... It was all too obvious that he was going to get a slap on the wrist.
This just serves as yet another example of why nobody should trust Democrats and the mainstream media.
For about as long since humans learned to steal and control over others, it's always been a family business. Government is an alliance of families forcing their will on others.
