The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.
I’ve never understood the mindset of “I suffered so you should too”.
That is taking my point wildly out of context.
It would be far more fair to say: “Your guy got mercy. Mine should have too.” And yes, the lopsided and wildly corrupt justice system is on full display here.
I’d also recommend watching the Daily Show’s segment on the pardon. It’s pretty clear from its contents that Hunter’s crimes were extensive.
