Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wein Banks said Sunday on MSNBC's “Prime” that she is “thrilled” that President Joe Biden pardoned her son Hunter Biden. he said.
Host Jonathan Capehart asked, “What is your reaction to President Biden pardoning your son?”
“I'm relieved and thrilled that he did what he did,” Winebanks said. “This was one of those cases where leniency was called for. First of all, Hunter Biden will never be charged with a gun crime. He will be prosecuted because of his last name.Secondly, he is an addict and that is what caused his actions and he has been sober for many years now and will now be granted amnesty. It's a really appropriate time.”
“We also look forward to President Biden granting preemptive pardons to all those threatened by the injustices of what will become the Department of Justice under the Trump administration,” he added. That includes Jack Smith and all of his staff, many lawyers at the Justice Department, and even President Biden himself, but it's unclear whether anyone can legally be pardoned. He will need a pardon because he has been harassed and is not charged with any crime. That's what Donald Trump promised. ”
