Subject: Re: Biden/s Sttatement on the Pardon
Biden's legacy had already taken a number of hits, and this is another (completely self-inflicted) one.

It's completely understandable to me. It did look like a political prosecution to me - which befuddled me. Since everything I read said that no one gets prosecuted for the gun form fib, and all I'm interested in on the taxes is that he pay tax, penalties, and interest - I saw no reason to prosecute him. But it was done. He faced 2-4 years possibly.

The other part is that he was being painted as an easy target for the MAGA crowd - so that this wouldn't be the end of the troubles. We are going to see some retribution investigations. So I'm willing to say that if we see plenty of investigations with some questionable prosecutions that this was a prudent move on his part. We shall see.
