virtually NO question at all that Joe will either commute Hunter’s sentence to nothing or pardon him outright. I mean, why wouldn’t he? OF COURSE he will! DUH!
Now ask yourself this: Is Hunter Biden really going to risk serving as many as 15 years in prison by pleading guilty? Of course not. He wouldn’t take the fall for his dad without some assurance that he’d avoid jail time. Perhaps Joe Biden made a deal when he was forced out to ensure that if whoever replaced him on the top of the Democratic ticket would pardon Hunter if they win. The backup plan, of course, is that if Trump wins, Joe will pardon Hunter on his way out the door, and he’ll find a way to blame Trump for changing his mind.
