Biden has the authority granted by the Constitution to pardon anybody he pleases that is a defendant in a Federal Case.
This can be a double edge sword. Since Hunter now has immunity in that 10 year span for known or unknown crimes, he can be compelled to testify against other members of the Biden Cartel, since he has no fear of self incrimination. If he refuses, he can be held in contempt, and if he lies, he can be charged with perjury, as both would be “new” crimes.
The future will tell. After all, the Republicans now have the House, The Senate, and the Justice Department. Originally Posted by Jacky S
I didn't think Hunter was sentenced yet. Convicted but not yet sentenced. Everyone knew Biden would pardon Hunter and I certainly don't blame him. I would have done the same. The problem lies with Biden continually saying he would not pardon him. He should have just kept his mouth shut. Originally Posted by BudmanThat's why some have said this pardon could be challenged in court. Because there hasn't been a sentence handed down yet. Even prominent Democrats have come out against Biden for this. A lot of liberals had to do walks of shame on national television for screaming that Biden wouldn't pardon Hunter.

He can no longer refuse to answer questions or he gets more charges. Any normal citizen would have been in federal prison for wire fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, the list goes on....

How about a count down to last day available for Biden to issue pardons? Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter
My understanding is that the pardon covers anything that Hunter did between 2014 and 2024, even those not yet known. Originally Posted by Iceman
Certainly this news must be fake. We were told by reliable sources that Biden would never pardon his son - that he respected the rule of law. We were told that Biden was the paragon of virtue with respect to the law, and quite unlike that convicted felon named Trump.
