Outgoing US President Joe Biden Sunday issued 바카라a full and unconditional pardon바카라 to Hunter Biden arguing that he was singled out only because he was his son.
바카라For my entire career I have followed a simple principle: just tell the American people the truth. They바카라ll be fair-minded. Here바카라s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice 바카라 and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further,바카라 Biden said in a statement Sunday night.
Hunter Biden was convicted early this year on federal gun and tax charges and was set to appear soon in Delon, California, where he faced the potential of lengthy prison sentences.
바카라From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department바카라s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,바카라 Joe Biden said.
바카라Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently,바카라 said the president.
Biden said the charges in his cases came about only after several of his political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose his election.
바카라Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room 바카라 with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process. Had the plea deal held, it would have been a fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter바카라s cases,바카라 he said.
바카라No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter바카라s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son 바카라 and that is wrong,바카라 he said.
바카라There has been an effort to break Hunter 바카라 who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they바카라ve tried to break me 바카라 and there바카라s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough,바카라 Joe Biden said.
