          Only if he did it in Washington DC, on federal land. If he was in Delaware or Maryland or any other state (not Native American Reservation) they were probably state level drug offenses.

          This is what happens when you only read conservative headlines.

            Oh wait no right the ‘gun charge’ was for not disclosing he did crack on a form that’s riiiight. Next you’re going to tell me the gun charge wasn’t for concealed carry of a massive hog.

              He lied on the form, doesn’t matter why, it was a crime. He came to an agreement to plead guilty with the prosecution that was thrown out. If he were anyone other than the president’s son, it wouldn’t have been, and he is at personal risk from a justice department with no accountability or integrity and a mandate to punish the soon-to-be president’s political enemies, only because he is the soon-to-be-former president’s son.

              This has nothing to do with drugs.

              Complain to your congressman about your drug problems, the president has no authority to resolve them for you.

                  He did a lot of great things for so many people. I’m sorry he didn’t make the trip out to kiss your butt specifically.

                    Maybe it’s my own fault I should have been born into a powerful wealthy family. It’s hard to understand you with all that baloney in your mouth.

                  What part of: “it’s the governors who need to do that, not the President” don’t you understand?

                    Yes, I’m sure there is nothing he could do… /S This is why Democrats didn’t win shit, you can’t do fuck all except pardon your family members and keep your rich buddies rich.

              Correct, that’s what the charge was for, lying on the gun form (also there’s one for tax evasion, but that’s not relevant here). The lie was about using crack, but the charge was for lying on the form, not for crack use.

      I love how people get so high up their high horse’s ass as if they wouldn’t do the same if they could. I know I would.

      Especially knowing the circumstances. Trump won the election. Let’s be real, what kind of good father would let his son be a convict under the fat orange turd’s regime, particularly being the son of the former president, and of the opposition; Joe Biden is not only coming to the end of his presidency. He’s also coming to the end of his life. I sure as fuck would pardon my kid under these circumstances, while I had the power. And I bet most of the people who bitch and whine about it would do it too.
