Any thoughts on how the right will try to spin Joe Biden not immediately pardoning his son as a bad thing?

He Evades taxes and uses guns recklessly... Republicans don't like this guy?

His dad is on the other team so they are not allowed to like him. Very Romeo and Juliet.

.... normally, people don't get hit with felony gun possession unless they actually injure/murder people with their gun. ....or are busted in the "War on Drugs"

... just looked it up, and they are nailing him for saying "no" to the question of if he was a user of illegal drugs.

I don't totally understand the original question. I assume it's because they want Trump pardoned immediately?

As a person in recovery myself, this seems like a fair deal.

It was mostly tongue-in-cheek; The implication being that the right would somehow try to spin Joe Biden not misusing his power to benefit his family as a negative, since we know any GOP frontrunner would have immediately quashed this for their own family.

"Joe Biden has no loyalty to family, wants to destroy american family values", something along those lines.
