  • "Circumstances have changed since Biden promised to respect the outcome of his son's cases," says a reader in defense of Hunter Biden's pardon.

The article from MSN discusses various letters to the editor regarding President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The letters argue that Biden had compelling reasons for this action, primarily focusing on the personal and familial aspects rather than political motivations. One letter suggests that Biden's decision was influenced by his deep paternal love and the desire to protect his son from further legal and personal turmoil, especially given Hunter's well-documented struggles with addiction and legal issues. Another perspective highlights the potential political fallout, suggesting that while the pardon might be seen as a breach of promise, it could also be viewed as an act of mercy and understanding, reflecting Biden's character as a compassionate father. Critics, however, see this as an example of nepotism and a failure to uphold the principle of equal justice under the law. The letters collectively present a debate on the ethics of presidential pardons when family members are involved, balancing personal loyalty with public duty.
