Disingenuous outrage

Those partaking in the disingenuous outrage about the Biden pardon (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/02/hunter-biden-presidential-pardon-comparisons/) want to ignore the very loud call to partake in witch hunts against the current administration, their families, their friends, their supporters. And the fact that some making these calls now have the means to bring them about. Real witch hunts.

From the article: “The Nixon pardon is the only precedent in modern times for such a broad pardon, which purports to insulate Hunter Biden from prosecution for crimes that have not even been charged,” said Margaret Love, who served as U.S. pardon attorney under Bush and Bill Clinton.

Insulation is the entire point — he won’t spend the next four (or more) years paying lawyers to defend him against whatever nonsense partisan DoJ officials dream up.
