Hunter is a drug addicted pedophile. He will commit crimes after 12/1/2024 when he’s fair game for any prosecutor. He better stay in blue states from now on and even then daddy won’t have much clout anymore.
The Constitution gives the President of the United States broad pardoning power, with very few limitations.
By Rebecca Pirius, Attorney Mitchell Hamline School of Law Updated 12/10/2020
The U.S. Constitution states, "The President … shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." (U.S. Const., art. II, § 2, cl. 1.) This language gives the president broad pardoning power, with very few limitations. (Schick v. Reed, 419 U.S. 256 (1974).) Moreover, the pardon power is the president's alone—the president's decision to grant a pardon cannot be overturned by Congress or the courts.
Presidential Pardon Power and Limits
The language in the Constitution highlights just two limits to the presidential pardon power. The president's authority extends only to offenses against the United States (federal crimes), meaning state crimes are beyond the president's control. And the president cannot circumvent Congress' power of impeachment. Beyond this, the president's power is restrained only within other constitutional limits. Let's explore these provisions further.
Federal vs. State Crimes
The President's power to pardon individuals extends only to federal—not state—crimes. Federal crimes generally involve federal or national issues, such as federal tax fraud, immigration violations, counterfeiting U.S. currency, and wire fraud. Most crimes are actually prosecuted at the state level, such as murder, sexual assault, and theft (as long as the crime doesn't cross state lines, at which points it becomes a federal crime). The president does not have the authority to pardon state offenses—that power is reserved for state governors. (Because state prosecutions are beyond the reach of presidential pardons, they can serve as an indirect check on the presidential pardon power.)
There are two (three actually - 2 in N.Y. 1 in Georgia) open state lawfare issues currently hanging over Trump's head. Time to up the ante. If nothing else, discussing the merits make make a difference as well. they cannot get away with the lawfare they have engaged in, for they will just do them again when they get back in power.
Trump would have no direct involvement in them whatsoever.
Biden lied from the beginning and once again the leftist activist media gave him a pass.
Seriously, when he said he knew nothing about Hunter’s business dealings, the world gagged and the media swallowed. Corrupt media, it needs to end.
Hillary showed them how:
"I don't recall"
"I don't remember"
"Unfortunately I have no recollection of that"
and to come from Hunter: "Sadly, my addictions have left me with no memory of those times or events"
I sent a link but confusing..
If Trump pardoned Don Jr for so much as a parking ticket there would be blood in the streets. The media would rend its clothes and gnashing its teeth. Congress would bleat in unison that “no one is above the law”. None of this goes away on its own.
For All Offenses He ‘May Have Committed’ Between 2014 and 2024
So he can be charged for his crimes prior to that date Big Joey may have made a huge mistake where both many be charged for a crimes?.
Wonder if Xi orders a 2-4-1 accident?.
Since Hunter is pardoned, he now cannot use the fifth amendment for cover. He must now disclose his actions and provide all documents related to his actions. Should he refuse or lie, that will be after the limits of the pardon and would create new crimes.
Am I on the right track?
FJB and his cronies are pardoning the coke head early because they are about to destroy the 💻 ! Too many corrupt swamp creatures implicated in the crime…a lot of swamp POS names are on his criminal list! Can’t let KASH get ahold of the incriminating evidence. Think about it it makes sense!
“I mispoke” (their favorite)
Look for old Joe to pardon his brother next, then to possibly resign just before Jan 20, swear in Cameltoe and then have her pardon old Joe to cover all the bases.
If he could have he would have pardoned future offenses too.
“Patriots are IN CONTROL here!”
The globalists and RINOs are already biting our ankles.
Joe should have pardoned Hunter from the date of his birth to now.
PARDON DOES NOT REACH TO SON’S ASSOCIATES
I am pretty sure he can NOT pardon himself.
Well, Hunter was on roll at the time and it’s really hard to account for all the laws he broke.
Hmmmm, “may have committed” what about the ones he DID commit? Wouldn’t that be a sweet loophole.

maybe hunter, as the bagman, is their designated scape goat for the entire syndicate. they figure if hunter has cover, they all have cover.
