There are always consequences.

There appear to be few rules regarding pardons. The Founding Fathers left it to the marketplace and elections/revolutions.

How will the people react to a pardon of Hunter. Place your bets.

here is some history on pardons.

One of most controversial was Pilates pardon of Barabbas. It had some interesting effects.
