A presidential pardon notwithstanding, the Biden family may yet face accountability from Congress and the executive branch, government watchdog groups say.
In fact, President Joe Biden’s blanket pardon of son Hunter Biden could provide more leverage for Congress to investigate other Biden family members, said Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, a conservative legal group.
“President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter means that Hunter can no longer invoke his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination,” Davis, Republicans’ former chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee, told The Daily Signal in a telephone interview Monday.
Hunter Biden was convicted earlier this year on gun and tax charges, for which he faced a maximum of 17 and 25 years in prison, respectively.
The president’s pardon Sunday night covered any crimes his son “has committed or may have committed or taken part in from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024.”
“The House Republicans should subpoena Hunter Biden now. This is a much bigger issue than hookers and blow,” Davis added, using slang for the drug cocaine. “This is about the president of the United States being compromised, with $23 million going to what seems like every member of the Biden family”
An impeachment inquiry conducted by three House committees—Oversight and Accountability; Ways and Means; and Judiciary—found bank records demonstrating a labyrinth of shell corporations owned by Biden family members doing business in China, Ukraine, Russia, and other foreign nations that in some cases seemingly were tied to Joe Biden’s actions in the Senate and as vice president.

Have to see it to believe it!
YES
The RINOs in Congress may not want to go along with an Biden investigations. Some of them are likely knee deep in their own corruption.
The only member of the Biden family who will not receive a pardon before noon on January 20, 2025 is Hunter’s daughter Navy.
Here’s something to think about. The special counsel report on Joe Biden basically said he shouldn’t face criminal charges because of his Senility and Dimentia. Democrats wholeheartedly agreed to save him from prosecution. So now if his pardon of Hunter is questioned because of his Senility and Dimentia how can they possibly defend his pardons ?
Is there any process by which a pardon can be rescinded ?
Hunter will develop a terribly bad memory.
I’m waiting for Biden to pardon the rest of his family.
He’s going to pardon them all.

Oh, what’s the point? They’ll all have amnesia.
People who have diminished capacity can’t sign over their own house but they can sign pardons. Or can they?
If you want a real can of worms are the signatures on his executive orders spending all that money even valid?
The elderly are protected from predatory people who put things they don’t understand in front of them to sign, except, apparently, in the most important case when someone has the powers of the presidency.
