    Republicans will attack him either way.

    Pardons Hunter:
    “Biden is abusing the legal process for his son! Biden crime family! Reeeeee!!!”

    Refuses pardon:
    “Biden doesn’t even love his son enough to pardon him! Reeeeeee!!!”

      Which is why there is no dialogue with people arguing in bad faith.

      And we as a society need to recognise that, and act accordingly.

      Nah, they don’t want to draw attention to Biden not abusing the justice system for personal gain, because it undercuts the whole “he’s abusing the justice system for personal gain by prosecuting political rivals!” It would absolutely be a counter productive strategy.

          Yes. But more importantly, the ones steering the ship know they aren’t aiming their talking points at the faithful, but trying to convince people on the fence.
