Hypocrisy

[John Clark]

Trump has called Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter “an abuse and miscarriage of justice”, and certainly a strong case could be made that Biden definitely should NOT have done that, but Donald Trump is the very last person in the world who should say it, especially given the fact that he said it just a few hours after he nominated Charles Kushner to be ambassador to France. Charles Kushner is the father of Jared Kushner, Trump's son in law. In 2004 Charles Kushner pleaded guilty to 16 counts of tax evasion and one count of witness tampering. Charles Kushner spent two years in prison and was released in 2006.

In addition to tax evasion Charles Kushner admitted that he hired a prostitute to seduce the husband of his sister, who was a witness in a federal campaign finance investigation, and of sending a videotape of the sexual encounter, that he secretly made, to his sister. BUT TRUMP PARDONED CHARLES KUSHNER. Trump also pardoned Paul Manafort, his campaign manager, and he pardoned Roger Stone, a longtime ally who has a huge tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back. And I have no doubt that Trump will pardon everyone involved in the unsuccessful 2021 coup d'état.  

It's the sort of thing that gives hypocrisy a bad name.
