Trump was going to use Hunter's imprisonment as a stick to beat Joe with. And though doubtful Trump would have pulled another Epstein, he certainly would have threatened to do so privately. Over and over and over. What is often missed in the but-what-about-lawfare bothsidesism is that all the federal cases against Trump are legally sound and justified. The rape case and the business fraud cases arose from years of New Yorkers, who know Trump better than anyone, voting for prosecutors determined to end their long-standing misery with him. They were given a mandate. When a grifter ascends to cult leader status, the people of his hometown often harbor the strongest urge to see him held accountable, or, metaphorically, stoned to death.
Once Joe pardons his whole family with a blanket 10 year pardon, the corruption will be clear Then Congress can hold hearings and subpoena the whole family and they will not be able to plead the 5th
Many forget that Trump pardoned Kushner's father in 2020 and recently made him ambassador of France. The same person who helped the Trump administration on Operation Warp Speed discover the COVID-19 vaccines. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/wh...-charles-kushner-ambassador-france-rcna182298 Seriously, that would be like Biden pardoning his son and then 4 years later...Hunter is then made the ambassador of a country on his last vacation. Something else, Trump made many promises to Pardon those convicted and imprisoned for their involvement in the January 6th attacks on our Capitol, Democracy, and the U.S. Constitution...even those on the U.S. no-fly list or terrorist watch list for threats against their fellow Americans when they were rioting at our Capitol for Trump's BIG LIE. For what it's worth, Hunter should serve prison for his crimes. Yet, the United States is so fucked up with allowing Presidents to pardon criminals and using delay tactics to avoid their criminal prosecutions for any criminal wrongdoing in hopes they can wipe it all away if elected as the U.S. President... It's a political mess and we all know those remaining criminal trials could no longer continue against Trump after he was re-elected...advice Trump received from his lawyers a few years ago that the only way he can avoid prison is to again become the President of the United States. Worst case...they were looking into the possibility of Trump pardoning himself and were prepared to take it all the way to the Supreme Court. wrbtrader
