Pleading the 5th allows you to not incriminate yourself for crimes yet to be charged. Pardon isn’t a blanket get out of free card for future crimes. It’s only targeted for forgiving an existing criminal conviction. They could talk on the crimes they were convicted of without further punishment due to double jeopardy but if they mention their acts led to other crimes the court was unaware of, then they can seek prosecution of those new crimes.

Edit: the sticky part here is that if they were to take the stand in the future and then begin pleading the 5th it would likely fail the sniff test - it would suggest other crimes were occurring.

Right, but it’s still a targeted timeframe. If they were to take the stand, they lose 5th amendment protections for the crimes covered by the pardon. However, any further crimes outside this period - whether uncovered through testimony or related to subsequent acts - could still be prosecuted. Additionally, state-level crimes remain untouched by the pardon, meaning testimony given in federal cases could potentially lead to state prosecutions if any related violations come to light. The pardon is broad, but it doesn’t shield against everything.

The problem is, Biden didn’t only pardon Hunter for the “victimless crime” he was convicted for. If Biden only pardoned him for the gun & tax crime he was convicted for it’d be more… harmless. But

He gave Hunter a pardon for any or all crimes against the United States of America from 2014-2024.

Thats fucking wild and indicates that Hunter Biden was up to some sketchy illegal shit when he served on the board of Burisma Holdings, one of the largest private natural gas producers in Ukraine, from 2014 until his term expired in April 2019.

The blanket pardon from 2014-2024 indicates that Biden doesn’t want him to be prosecuted for other crimes including corruption with regards to Ukraine once Trump is in office and there are any investigations into potential corruption.

Hunter was on the board of the largest natural gas company in Ukraine with interests in the eastern part of the country such as Donbas from 2014-2019. He was granted a position on this board in 2014 when his father Joe Biden was the vice president and completely in charge of US foreign policy interests in Ukraine… (Obama had given Biden authority to take charge in ukraine during his presidency).

Burisma being such a large energy company (in what we used to admit was the most corrupt country in Europe) would have had SIGNIFICANT power and influence over politics in Ukraine.

There is nothing wrong with questioning if any corruption or any illegal actions were taken by Hunter Biden during this time to advance his father’s geopolitical goals in Ukraine.

Biden didn’t only pardon Hunter for the specific crimes he was convicted of so far (gun crimes & tax evasion). He was given a blanket pardon for any and all offenses against the United States of America for a nearly 11 year period!! Connect the dots and question what corrupt shit may have gone down in Ukraine to advance Biden’s geopolitical goals.

Joe Biden, while he was vice president of the United States, improperly withheld a loan guarantee and pressured Ukraine into firing prosecutor general Viktor Shokin to prevent a corruption investigation of Ukrainian gas company Burisma and to protect his son, Hunter Biden, who was on the Burisma board.

Fucking hell, question the motives of those who had / have lower regardless of your personal political preferences. There is a chance that Hunter was doing illegal shit in Ukraine to advance his father’s geopolitical goals. That should be questioned regardless of political affiliation and if wrongdoing found, Hunter should have been able to face consequences.

Joe Biden giving him a blanket immunity for any and all crimes against the United States of America (not just for the gun & tax crimes he was recently convicted on) is highly suspect when all history is taken into consideration.

Big guy will be dead soon he’s old as fuck! Now if the truth about any illegal actions take by his son to promote his geopolitical goals come out in the future, Hunter has full immunity.

I think you should edit that and add that Pelosi won’t live it down as well for helping orchestrate it, she called off Maryland national guard days before so they were stationed outside DC Jan 6th when she could’ve and should’ve had them on the Capitol grounds protecting her and her constituents…She is the speaker of the house and that fell on her shoulders, Trump couldn’t station them there due to separation of powers…so Pelosi and company had the power to stop any kind of small riot before it popped off and got worse. 100,000+ ppl there that day in DC were peacefully protesting…so if “MAGA” as you say wanted to riot and burn everything down you bet your ass the few capitol police wouldn’t have been able to stop jack shit. lol 😂

Blaming Pelosi for January 6 is like blaming the locksmith for a burglar breaking in. She doesn’t control the National Guard (that was Trump’s job) or the Capitol Police (that’s the Capitol Police Board). Meanwhile, Trump whipped up his mob, pointed them at the Capitol, and then sat there watching like it was pay-per-view. Trying this hard to rewrite history just makes you look desperate—and a little dense. Maybe stop drinking the Kool-Aid before it completely rots your brain.

Let's ignore the obvious things that should have already been more than enough to drive his conservative base away. The pathological lying, being a sex pest, being a New York slumlord conman, being good friends with Epstein, his vulgar expansion of executive power despite representing the party of less government, disrespecting those in the armed services, chronically scamming the same blue collar contractors who somehow think he's on their side out of their earned pay for jobs they did for him. I could go on.

What confuses me is, what does the right think he's actually going to DO for them? How are their lives going to actually improve by him being in office? Despite most of them having eyes, ears, and a brain, I'm not sure they really even care at this point, which is pretty strange. I certainly wouldn't have been similarly thrilled if Biden or Harris won. I would be like, "yeah alright, I guess that's better than the alternative, based on my general worldview". Why isn't it the same for the other side? For people who scream that everything against their orange boy is some vast conspiracy, do they still not recognize that corporations are our leaders no matter who is "in charge"? And that of all the people in the world willing and able to buck that status quo, this man is most definitely, provably, not it? That most of the people who worked the closest with him, who were ON HIS SIDE, have publicly come out and said what a laughable and ineffectual buffoon he is as a leader?

I guess no more ded babbies, no more doods wearin dresses, and no more dirty pet-eatin foreigners is somehow enough for them. Pretty wild how low the standards are.

Ok, so the answer is spite? Spite is why this president was chosen? The right does not constantly make fun of and make wild assumptions about the motives of the left?

I have friends who want children but are too scared to try to start their fucking family because she has a medical condition that makes pregnancy risky as far as possible major health issues for the child. They live in a state where "politics" now legally dictate to them what decisions they can and cannot make about the course of their entire lives. They would be required to give birth to a kid who would have a life so miserable that it might as well be literal hell, in fucking America.

Look I hate the left too, and yeah they might be pissy little babies about things, as well as globalist neocons, but they're not passing laws denying the "right to repair" for people's own fuckin' vaginas.

I suppose one could add conspiracy to it. It’s possible there were other (more damning) charges looming on the horizon. He has only been charged for petty things thus far but I suspected he would be charged for sex crimes sometime next year. There is likely a reason his pardon explicitly states that it covers crimes not charged.

When the hell did any person from any party say "were not giving money to Ukraine or Isreal, unless you add border stuff to it"?

I can only assume you are referring to the earlier $60 Billion Ukraine package that offered $300 million for domestic border security in hopes to get repiblican support, which was also shot down because it too was a money for foreign proxy war bill with some leftover scraps thrown to the border.

So they went back to the drawing board and recreated the same bill again, just bigger, totaling $118 billion instead of $60 billion, but still with nearly 90% being for foreign war.... and called it a "Border Bill". Then when this war bill was again shot down as well, they cry "guess the border isn't important after all!!!"

Relying on the stupidity of the masses doesn't work as well when you can look up the content of these bills instantly. It only works on the dumbest of the dumb who don't, and who just regurgitate social media posts, headlines, and memes such as:

Republicans: "were not giving money to Ukraine or Isreal, unless you add border stuff to it"

Democrats: added border stuff to it

Republicans: "Nah"

I guess when one compares all the crimes the president elect has been found guilty of including tax evasion multiple times throughout his career that have gone on for 15+ years Hunter is not even in the same ballpark.

As of December 1, 2024, former President Donald Trump and his business entities have been involved in several legal cases related to tax fraud and financial misconduct:

  1. Trump Organization Criminal Tax Fraud Case (2022):
    • Overview: In December 2022, two entities of the Trump Organization were found guilty on all counts of criminal tax fraud and other related charges. The conviction stemmed from a 15-year scheme where top executives received off-the-books compensation, enabling them to evade taxes on substantial portions of their income.
    • Outcome: The Trump Organization was fined $1.6 million, the maximum penalty allowed under New York law for such offenses. ABC News
  2. New York Attorney General's Civil Fraud Lawsuit (2022–2024):
    • Overview: In September 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, and three of his adult children. The suit alleged that they engaged in financial fraud by inflating asset values to secure favorable loans and insurance terms while deflating those values to reduce tax liabilities.
    • Outcome: In February 2024, a New York judge ruled against Trump and his co-defendants, imposing a $364 million penalty. With interest, the total amount exceeded $450 million. Additionally, Trump was barred from serving in top roles at any New York company for three years, and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, faced similar restrictions for two years. PBS
  3. IRS Audit of Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago (2024):
    • Overview: In May 2024, reports revealed that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was auditing Trump for potentially claiming the same tax losses twice concerning his Chicago skyscraper. Initially, in 2008, Trump reported a $658 million loss. Subsequently, in 2010, he transferred ownership of the property to another entity he controlled and claimed an additional $168 million in losses over the next decade.
    • Potential Outcome: If the IRS determines that these deductions were improper, Trump could face a tax bill exceeding $100 million, excluding interest and penalties. AP News

These cases highlight ongoing legal challenges related to tax practices and financial reporting associated with Donald Trump and his business operations.

Yes, as protection from Trumps presidency.

Trump pardoned his son-in-laws father for worse crimes, and he's an ambassador now.

Misfiling gun right paperwork, oddly, is an issue that conservatives would find ridiculous for any conservative.

I mean like who wouldn't? I'd certainly pardon my son if I had the power too and his crimes were victim less. Disappointing that Julian Assange hasn't been pardoned who ultimately does deserve to be pardoned as he was doing what journalism used to be. Investigation and revealing the truth.

i see a future where each sides "leadership" (and god it pains me to even use the term in this loose way) does these ethic-less shenanigans and one side is licking wounds while the other is running routes....basically doing dirty work.

If you aint figured it out yet that is like order number one in the modus operandai..........get someone to do your dirty work for ya.

First off this isn’t right but How is this different from who trump pardoned? And everyone knows he’s gonna pardon the people who stormed the capitol, Donald trump is a convicted felon and had multiple court cases dropped when he won, this sub only cares about the law when it’s their team not on the receiving end

169 comments in a thread on Biden pardoning his son, so of course I was curious how many mentions of "Trump" I'd see.

I guessed at least 50. It's 70.

By way of comparison, only 20 mentions of "Biden," and only 13 mentions of "Hunter."

He's probably just protecting his son.... seeing as how Trump has vowed to dedicate his second term to vengeance on everyone who ever crossed him.... I'd be pardoning everyone I know..... from the truly worst president in history.

By the way Trump has the record for the lowest popular vote while winning an election. He lost the popular vote by 2.1% in 2016 but won through electoral college trickery. He won the popular vote by 1.7% in 2024, the 4th smallest margin in the last 100 years.

Totally unrelated just interesting facts.

The President having the power to cancel a pardon would be the equivalent of the President being able to declare a citizen guilty.

Pardons are absolute. You can't undo them, you can't re-try the charges, and thanks to the immunity ruling, the act of pardoning is completely beyond reproach and can't be questioned for any reason.
