170. I'm sure he's got some convoluted deal in his mind that he thinks he can pull off

Let's say he's given a prison sentence in November, but, God forbid, he's won the election. You pardon me, and I'll pardon Hunter. I'm sure his addled mind hasn't even considered the fact that Biden could pardon his own son. Or perhaps he's thinking Biden will come to his rescue if he loses and is faced with a prison sentence because he has spoken out about Hunter not deserving prosecution. I just know that he doesn't cut anyone slack or even think about it much less mention it unless there's something he thinks he can gain from it.

Oh I definitely think it's on his mind and he's worried. I mean he's already talking about possibly pardoning Hunter. Native Oct 2024 #152
