The head of news at Politico, Alexander Burns, is upset over Joe Biden’s blanket pardon for his son Hunter. Forget Hunter’s crimes. Burns is irked is because the Biden pardon now makes it much more difficult to oppose President-Elect Donald Trump’s appointments on moral and legal grounds because of the sleazy pardon. A situation which Burns whined about in his story on Monday, “Joe Biden’s Parting Insult.”

That was presumably not Biden’s…
