This suggestion follows \u200bBiden\u2019s own pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, which Smith discussed in the context of moving forward for the nation. Smith emphasized that after the \u200bchallenges and controversies surrounding Trump&#8217;s \u2063legal battles, it\u2019s time to heal\u2064 and move ahead, drawing parallels to Gerald Ford\u2019s pardon of Richard Nixon as an \u200dact beneficial to national unity.<\/p>\n<p>Smith criticized the current\u2063 political \u2063climate,\u200b asserting that Democrats\u2063 should take responsibility for losing the election and\u200d that \u2063the legal cases against Trump are unlikely to lead\u2062 to a conviction, suggesting\u200d that many have been dropped and appeals \u200dare likely to \u200bsucceed. He called for consistency in Biden&#8217;s \u200dactions and commented on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-plea-desantis-slams-sweetheart-deal-as-double-standard\/\" title=\"DeSantis criticizes Hunter Biden&#039;s plea as unfair.\">perceived double standards<\/a> regarding pardons in the political realm.<\/p>\n<p>While\u200b acknowledging the complexities of Biden&#8217;s situation\u2014stemming from Hunter Biden&#8217;s\u2062 past and his recovery\u2014Smith\u200c challenged \u200dthe\u2062 president&#8217;s rationale for the pardon, \u200bstating \u200dthat a\u2064 straightforward acknowledgment of paternal loyalty would be more acceptable than the \u200bexplanations provided \u2063by Biden concerning the legal predicaments faced\u2064 by his son.<\/p>\n<p>The backdrop of \u200bthis\u2062 discussion is Biden\u2019s recent proclamation that Hunter\u200c was unfairly \u200dtargeted by the justice\u200b system, further complicating the political landscape as Trump\u2019s administration prepares for potential legal repercussions. Smith&#8217;s remarks sparked discussions on the \u2064implications of pardoning political figures and the broader issues\u200b of justice and accountability in\u2064 American politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>After a Turkey Day weekend pardon of his son Hunter, ESPN&rsquo;s Stephen A. Smith had a message for President Joe Biden: What&rsquo;s good for the goose is good for the gander.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Chris Cuomo&rsquo;s NewsNation show, Smith called upon Biden to pardon President-elect Donald Trump in the federal cases pending against him, saying it was &ldquo;time to move forward.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Asked by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bill-oreilly-chris-cuomo-erupt-air-shouting-match-oreilly-tells-truth-kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cuomo<\/a> whether he would advise Biden to pardon his 2020 electoral opponent, Smith said, &ldquo;That&rsquo;s exactly what I would do,&rdquo; according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2024\/dec\/3\/stephen-smith-calls-joe-biden-pardon-donald-trump-\/?utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=SocialFlow&amp;utm_campaign=twtnl_x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Enough&rsquo;s enough,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/espns-stephen-smith-calls-hiding-kamala-harris-somebody-gotta-say-something\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smith<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know what?

Then, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-joe-biden-pardons-son-hunter\/\" title=\"Breaking: Joe Biden Pardons Son, Hunter\">carefully negotiated plea deal<\/a>, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room &mdash; with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process.

There has been an effort to break Hunter &mdash; who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they&rsquo;ve tried to break me &mdash; and there&rsquo;s no reason to believe it will stop here.

But what&rsquo;s all of that other stuff you said about him?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He then referenced the statement Biden made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/waiting-biden-kjp-answer-questions-hunters-pardon-waiting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">about the pardon<\/a> &mdash; and the fact he&rsquo;d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/06\/13\/president-says-he-wont-pardon-hunter-biden-00163281\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promised previously<\/a> not to issue one.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You didn&rsquo;t talk about this then.

You were intending to do this all along, which again is no problem. But it doesn&rsquo;t make you any less full of it,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, this won&rsquo;t happen, because it would basically scuttle a whole lot of Democratic talking points. Yes, it would go a long way to creating goodwill &mdash; which is why it won&rsquo;t happen.<\/p>\n<p>Consider, for instance, what happened when Stephen A.
