Others have defended Biden’s pardon on the grounds that the charges Hunter faced were rarely brought and likely politically motivated.

If that’s an appropriate reason for a pardon, then Biden should be pardoning others whose prosecutions fit that description as well, not just his son.

Hunter Biden pardoned. Okay, President Biden:

There are now 40 men on federal death row. You promised to end the death penalty but haven’t even issued a single clemency.

60 members of Congress are calling for it. When are their clemencies coming?

With all respect to OP, this feels like the "only Republicans have agency" theory of politics.

Biden operates in the same world where Trump handed pardons to all sorts of crooks who supported him. He lowered the bar before Biden walked in; Biden just didn't take advantage until now.
