Joe Biden had to pardon Hunter because Donald Trump is bringing out the firing squads.
This passes for political analysis on CNN. I kid you not.

I am stupid enough not to understand the reasoning, I am afraid. It seems to me that if Donald Trump intended to put Hunter Biden (or anybody else) before a firing squad at will, no little piece of paper, no matter how pretty, would prevent the outcome.
For instance, here is the same commentator, Leigh McGowan, talking about how truth is so important in politics that censorship is necessary.
Apparently, imaginary Trump firing squads overturn this notion.
This is the same sort of Democrat logic that makes them believe…
