I don't get the argument of "it's just tax fraud.' People get charged for tax evasion every year, and 2/3 get jail time for it. https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/quick-facts/Tax_Fraud_FY16.pdf
He avoided $1.5 million and filed a false return. People have received prison terms for less.
and he subsequently paid it.
Now I don't think he deserved hard prison time. But pardoning him before even the sentence was handed down after stating he would not pardon him is definitely a bad look. He avoided taxes, turned in a fraud tax return and lied to buy a gun. How exactly was Hunter being treated unfairly by being charged for things he admitted to doing? Because he said "sorry" and wrote a book about it its unfair he's now charged?
If there was fraud determined, then the DOJ can press charges. Paying fees on skipped taxes does not exempt you from charges. Not paying $1.5 million in taxes is kinda a big deal, people have and do go to prison for less.
The IRS charges tax plus penalties and interest. The penalties can be severe if you don't file and owe a lot. It sounded to me like Hunter was taking "loans" from his business rather than payroll. The IRS basically said you can't do that and reclassified the loans as compensation.
So Hunter got tagged with doing what the wealthy do (income vs loans) but since he wasn't wealthy enough, got screwed by the IRS.

Yes, like Charlie Kushner. Well...that was actually more. Alot more.
I just saw he was an ambassador pick too. Not a fan of that move either.
I was addressing the political aspect of the pardon.
Kushners crime was completely legitimate, or as Christie called it, the most "loathesome" crime he ever prosecuted. Hunter needed a special counsel and a recanting of a plea deal, and likely would not have been prosecuted had he not been the presidents son.0 -

Ledbetterman10 said:Gern Blansten said:Put trump in Biden's shoes....he would have been whining and crying every fucking day about how unfair the DOJ was being against his son. He would have been making a bunch of insane threats, etc.
Biden never said a fucking thing.
Perhaps it was the nomination of this complete and utter stooge, Kash Patel, who has said repeatedly over the last few years that the next Trump admin would specifically target Biden's son?www.myspace.com0 -

It would have been better if he just didn't talk about instead of saying he wouldn't pardon him.......but clearly Trump is putting together a clown show cabinet intent on bullshit retaliation. Things have changed....so fuck it. Go ahead and give yourself a blanket pardon while you're at it Joe. lol.
talk in those spaces , or rather a pointed suggestion, that biden pardon every known or suspected target of fucksticks ire....

It's true that it won't define his Presidency, which will mostly be remembered as a prolonged attempted cover-up of a man in obvious cognitive decline0
