Hunter can no longer plead the 5th during questioning because he no longer faces prosecution for the decade of 2014 until 2024 for any federal offense.  And he cannot lie because that would be a new crime.  I hope they call him to the House or Senate investigation and ask about daddy's dealings.

If it was the right thing to do why did Joe Biden lie and say he wouldn't pardon Hunter?

We knew he'd pardon Hunter so no surprise for us. You know who is shitting bricks now? All the Biden loyalists who covered for Hunter and Joe. Hunter will be out living his best life and they will be under investigation.

Kushner went to jail for two years and paid his fine.  Trump merely expunged his record 15 years later.  As they say Kushner had "paid his debt to society". Hunter gets a free pass.

Joe has no choice but to pardon his brother. After all the crimes he committed with Hunter, he’ll spend years in prison if Joe doesn’t pardon him.

Hunter Biden didn’t pay the back taxes, Kevin Morris did (this guy is also an art customer of Hunters… 🙄🙄🙄)  and he only paid the back taxes on some of Hunters debt not on the portion that they let expire due to statute of limitations. 🙄  

Hunters golden parachute just opened wide A N D you lefties are clapping and cheering! 🙄🙄🙄

Where can I find a lawyer that will pay my taxes, my ex’s child support, Porsche payments and buy my bullshit art?  

🤔 hummmmmmmm

Y'all just elected the biggest liar in American history.
Also, lots of Democrats are upset with Biden for doing it.
From The NY Times:
"Several Democrats in Congress spoke out on Monday against President Biden’s decision to issue a broad pardon of his son Hunter Biden, criticizing the action as one that would further erode Americans’ already waning faith in democracy and the rule of law.

Many Democratic lawmakers, particularly progressives, have defended Mr. Biden’s move as the justified action of a concerned father who fears that President-elect Donald J. Trump will abuse his power to follow through on his threats to seek retribution against his rivals. But others, especially moderate members of Congress, said the president’s decision to pardon Hunter Biden — which he repeatedly vowed he would not — would do further damage to democratic norms.

“I’m disappointed this was the decision that he landed on here,” Representative Jason Crow, Democrat of Colorado, said of President Biden in an interview. “He promised he would not do this. I think it will make it harder for us going forward when we talk about upholding democracy.”

Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Democrat of Washington, said the president’s move offered proof of a two-tiered justice system that treated the wealthy and politically powerful differently from everyday Americans.“The President made the wrong decision,” she wrote on social media. “No family should be above the law.”

In his own post on social media, Senator Michael Bennet, Democrat of Colorado, said Mr. Biden’s “decision put personal interest ahead of duty and further erodes Americans’ faith that the justice system is fair and equal for all.”

In an interview, Mr. Bennet compared the pardon to Mr. Biden’s decision to wait until the final months of his re-election bid to drop out of the race, calling it an example of the president’s “putting his personal interest ahead of his responsibility to the country.”

Many progressives have rallied behind Mr. Biden.

“Way to go Joe!” said Representative Jasmine Crockett, a first-term Democrat from Texas, said on MSNBC over the weekend. “Let me be the first to congratulate the president for deciding to do this, because at the end of the day, we know that we have a 34-count convicted felon about to walk into the White House.”

But critics of Mr. Biden’s decision were not confined to the party’s moderate wing.

“President Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter is, as the action of a loving father, understandable — but as the action of our nation’s chief executive, unwise,” Senator Peter Welch, Democrat of Vermont and a progressive, said in a statement.And Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, who headed Democrats’ Senate campaign arm, called Mr. Biden’s decision to pardon his son “wrong.”

“A president’s family and allies shouldn’t get special treatment,” Mr. Peters said in a statement. “This was an improper use of power, it erodes trust in our government, and it emboldens others to bend justice to suit their interests.”

But Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat in the chamber and a longtime colleague of the president’s, was among Mr. Biden’s defenders on Monday. Mr. Durbin said he understood the president’s “humane” decision, saying that Hunter Biden had been “exploited” for political purposes.

“Joe Biden is many things, but I can say for certain he is a loving father,” Mr. Durbin said in an interview. The president, he added, “would gladly go into that jail cell himself to spare his son that experience.”

Brit Hume:

But they're the ones who voted for Trump. We'll see how they feel about it in a couple of years.
As for Biden, I think when he said that he believed he or Harris would win and there'd be no need for a pardon. Once Trump won it changed everything and Biden will always be remembered for violating his pledge.
