  • With new life breathed into it by President Biden breaking his repeated promises not to issue one for Hunter, the pardon debate is spinning entirely out of hand.

The article from MSN discusses how both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have contributed to what the author perceives as the misuse of the presidential pardon power. It highlights several controversial pardons and commutations issued by both leaders. Trump notably granted clemency to figures like Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, and Steve Bannon, often seen as rewarding loyalty or political allies. Biden, on the other hand, has used his pardon power to address what he views as injustices, particularly in cases involving non-violent drug offenses, but has also faced criticism for perceived political motivations, such as the pardon of Marc Rich by Bill Clinton. The piece argues that these actions have politicized and potentially undermined the integrity of the pardon process, suggesting that the power has been used more for personal or political gain rather than for justice or mercy.
