A Pardon for Hunter Biden

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Trump has continued to choose ideological warriors for government positions.
35% : The prosecutions of Trump and Hunter Biden were each handled by separate special counsels, appointed specifically to insulate the cases from politics.
24% : That may shield him from prosecution under Trump.
23% : Trump was charged with illegally trying to overturn an election and, in a separate indictment, with endangering national security.
19% : Trump has long argued that the justice system was "weaponized" against him, and that he is the victim of selective prosecution, much the way Biden has now said his son was.
17% : In an online post, Trump called the pardon "an abuse and miscarriage of Justice" and mentioned the Jan. 6 rioters, whom he has pledged to pardon.
15% : Trump contends that the two indictments against him by Biden's Justice Department amounted to a partisan witch hunt targeting the sitting president's main rival.
15% : Bill Clinton pardoned his half brother for drug charges, and Trump pardoned his son-in-law's father, Charles Kushner, for tax evasion and other crimes.
9% : Trump has picked Kash Patel, an adviser who vowed to "come after" the president-elect's enemies, to be the next director of the F.B.I. To be sure, the cases against Trump and Hunter Biden are hardly comparable.
