If Trump goes after Hunter Biden, are Trump's kids fairgame in Biden's administration?

Why not?

I'll put up Hunter's record against the 3 three Trump kids. Let the chips fall where they may.

However Biden isn't going to let Trump and family walk away from killing 3000,000 Americans - and stealing from the country.

And that has nothing to do with Hunter...

I just think that each of those kids must be considering turning in the old man to save their own butts. Each have children if their own to consider and they must know that Trump would likely throw his kids under the bus to spare his own Ass.

If I do a crime, I expect to be arrested.

It really isn't that complicated.

The more crimes one does, the higher the odds you will pay for the crime. (divided by your wealth of course)

Will they be? Of course not.

The minute a Democrat’s in power, expect the chorus of “leave family out of it” to erupt in harmony from all sides of the aisle.

I don’t think Biden should “go after” the Trump spawn. I do want to see consequences, but should be as independent of politics as possible. If Trump does pardon them, it means any charges would have to come at the state level. That’s probably a good thing.

It is not President Biden’s job to go after anyone. He will be busy cleaning up the Trump mess both at home and abroad.

I see Mitch McConnell losing his iron grip on the Republican Senate, too. He seems to be irrelevant in these bailout negotiations. A group of Senators have banded together to make a deal.

Ooh ,haha, Pompeo just cancelled his last Christmas Party after inviting 900, getting a handful! Now that is funny!

Prosecutions (and investigations) are steered by the actions of the defendants. It has nothing to do with "going after" figures that may be in disfavor. This is why many of us are trying very hard NOT to become a banana republic.

(excuse the language if it too closely resembles 'shithole countries' )

investigation along with him in NY He can only
pardon for Federal crimes. When they did their
taxes, They also did State Taxes that he can't
pardon! Bah,HA,HA, got him and them. Plus
remember Donny jr also signed a Storny check
as well. Now you see why he doesn't want to
go, because he knows where he'll end up. all
of them.

Of course Trump will likely give them pre-emptive pardons, but I'm sure that state-level wrongdoing is out there as well.

Put differently - why should they (and Trump himself) not be prosecuted, regardless of whether Trump goes after Hunter?
