Hunter Biden’s lawyers issue lengthy defense as pardoning window closes

Claims that the incoming Trump administration would weaponize the legal system against Hunter Biden justifies a pardon for President Joe Biden’s criminally convicted son, his legal defense team said.

With just weeks until Hunter Biden is sentenced by California and Delaware judges, his lawyers on Saturday released a lengthy document titled “The political prosecutions of Hunter Biden” that argued his gun and tax evasion convictions this year were politically motivated. The 52-page document pushed for clemency by alleging President-elect Donald Trump would turn the country’s justice system against Hunter Biden once he takes office on Jan. 20, 2024.

“A system that is supposed to protect against abuses failed to do so and was corrupted by political leaders in this country,” the document said. “As a result, Hunter faces significant sentences for felonies and misdemeanors far beyond precedents of others committing less serious offenses or where civil resolutions or consent judgments are normally sought — all on the basis of his mistakes, made while in the throes of serious drug addiction.”

Special counsel David Weiss has overseen the investigation into Hunter Biden for over a year. President Joe Biden’s head of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Merrick Garland, appointed Weiss to lead the investigation in August 2023. Weiss’s team is staffed with attorneys from the Biden administration’s DOJ.

Wouldn't it be something if old Joe croaked before that pardon was issued, and Kamala took over?

Willing to bet anyone a dollar that he pardons Hunter before January 20th.

That said, I have a question:

If Donald Trump were to die BEFORE the Oath is taken, does Vance automatically become POTUS on Jan 20th?

If it happens before the electoral college elects him, then all bets are off.  The electoral college will have to vote for someone else.  And that could be anyone.  But if it happens after the electoral college has made its selection, then the VP inherits the position.

Of course Congress could refuse to accept those electoral votes, too.

What does Joe have to lose by pardoning his fornicating, drug addicted, scumbag of a son before he shuffles off to Rehoboth Beach?
