If President Biden doesn't pardon Hunter I will really have to question if he understands the trouble we are in.

These people, including the previous Trump appointed Attorney General, made Michael Cohen’s life in prison miserable just because they could. They will brutalize Hunter.

He needs to issue hundreds of preemptive (meaning for “crimes” supposedly committed but not charged) pardons before he leaves office.

He needs to issue pardons for all his associates that are at risk.

But most everyone else Joe and his team can think of should get them.

Trump has already pardoned unrepentant drug traffickers and violent felons. He’s vowed to pardon the j6 criminals.

This would be nothing but a blip after the sensible woodchucks tut tut for a couple days. The sooner the better.

Heck, do it while sex offender Gaetz is still on the nomination for AG. He’ll never have a better excuse.

The federal charges against Trump will be dismissed anyway. He can package it all up as healing the country and moving forward.

21. I'd add the following

1) Jack Smith
2) Any member or witness to the January 6 commission
3) Any January 6 conviction that does not explicitly involve violence toward a police officer, sedition, or conspiracy/ insurrection.

The third one will pre-empt Trump and force him to pardon the violent offenders.

Regardless of the circumstances, that's not a national concern in context of what we face.

ANY. No limitation or condition. January 20, 1969 through Auguist 8, 1974.

Not limited to Watergate related crimes. Just anything that could be construed of as a federal offense that happened between those dates. Biden should take a lesson.

Robert Hur was appointed Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden's tax issues - nothing more. Once they didn't find what they were hoping, It was Her who decided to go "fishing for felonies" and came up with the gun charge based upon comments Biden made in a book. Garland should have shut it all down - overruled Hur - when he went off the course and to the gun charge. The fact that Garland didn't should have resulted in his termination, but we know why Joe didn't do that. But when freaking Trey Gowdy admits that no person has ever been singularly charged for this and that it really isn't right to do so, you know Her did something not acceptable even to Conservatives.

If I were Hunter and Joe didn't pardon me for the gun charge, I'd never speak to him again.
