The quantity is completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is whether those guys deserved to be pardoned. Hunter Biden was caught with a firearm when he was banned from having one because he was a self -confessed drug addiction. Under US law, that gives an automatic jail sentence.
Telling porkie pies on the gun application isnt really a big a deal as you seem to think, and the majority of the time it ends in probation or a small fine. In fact jail time is pretty unusual. So 17 years ?? thats pretty extreme, given he isnt a seasoned career criminal.
Trump has just picked Charles Kushner as his ambassador for France, the father of his daughters husband, and someone whom he pardoned from his conviction over tax evasion, campaign finance offences and witness tampering. And for all that he was sentenced to 2 years, not the 17. A bit unequal there dont you think ?
All of which is a tad more serious that telling porkie pies on a gun application.
As to who may or may not have deserved a presidential pardon, amongst the Trump list are the perpetrators of the Nisour Square massacre.
The private security group opened up and murdered 17 Iraqi civilians, wounding a further 20. The dead included two young children aged 9 and 11, the oldest was 77.
They were convicted of voluntary manslaughter and one got life, the others between 12.5 and 15 years.
Short sentencing for so many murders. But all pardoned anyway.
And that is one of several cases of murder carried out by the US military, all tried,convicted,sentenced and pardoned
It is ridiculous to suggest the sentencing of Hunter Biden was anything other than a political show trial aimed at hurting his fathers career.
