Hunter Biden saga: Why worry?

If is found guilty of anything, his dad can always pardon him. The bar has been set ...if Stone can be pardoned and Flynn can be pardoned for selling out the nation, if Hunter is guilty of tax evasion...I'm down with a pardon for him.

and not necessarily criminal. In any event, would not be for a pardon unless clearly a political investigation.

If Trump pardon's himself, that needs to be tested,

If Trump continues to pardon associates and any others for a corrupt purpose - political gain, avoidance of accountability for himself or his family, payoff for loyalty, whatever, then that needs to be tested.

If the Supreme Court sides with Biden and allows to pardons to be nullified, then good. If not then Biden can proceed to do anything that Trump was allowed to do. That may create support for constitutional amendment to change the pardon power.

These 2 grifters had omissions in their security clearances which would disqualify any other person. Who knows what else they have done and how our national security has been threatened. Hunter won't be working in the WH so who the f cares???
