Biden aides and allies had been resigned to the prospect of the president using his extraordinary power in the waning days of his presidency to ensure his son wouldn’t see time behind bars.

Now, Biden has handed the Republican a pretext to carry through with sweeping plans to upend the Department of Justice .

“This is a bad precedent that could be abused by later Presidents and will sadly tarnish his reputation,” Colorado ’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis wrote.

The timing of the pardon was surprising to some who believed Biden would put it off as long as possible.

The move could limit the ability of the Trump Justice Department to investigate the younger Biden ’s unsavory foreign business dealings.

Biden held himself up as placing respect for the American judicial system and rule of law over his own personal concerns.
