    This this the appropriate time to review some of Trump's pardons when he was president?

    In response to President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden, there is renewed interest in who President-elect Donald Trump pardoned previously.

    During Trump's four years at the White House, from January 20, 2017, to January 20, 2021, he granted 237 acts of clemency: 143 pardons and 94 commutations.

    Only two other presidents since 1900—George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush—granted fewer acts of clemency than Trump, while his predecessor, Barack Obama, granted clemency 1,927 times over the course of eight years in office, the highest total of any president going back to Harry Truman, according to the Pew Research Center.----------Source Newsweek.

    In addition most pardons are specific to one or two acts. Hunter's pardon was broad scoped covering EVERYTHING from 2014 till now. Some of Trump's pardons were specific to tax evasion (how about that).

    Also guess what took place in 2014? In April 2014, Biden joined the board of Burisma Holdings owned by Ukrainian oligarch and former politician Mykola Zlochevsky, who was facing a money laundering investigation just after the Ukrainian revolution. Biden's business partner, Devon Archer, had joined the board of Burisma several months prior.

    I'm sure that had nothing to do with the blanket pardon for Hunter though.
