A question that just popped into my mind.
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
So I just heard that Biden said he would not pardon Hunter. And the question is this:
Could it be that Biden knows he is not a legit president?
And not being a legit president he must NOT have the authority to pardon anyone!
Am I right or just dreaming?
Well you are right. But even if he was president he still couldn't.
If Hunter is pardoned he can be put on the stand and forced to correctly answer any questions related to the crime. He would not have fifth amendment privileges. This puts all of Biden's business partners in jeopardy as well as himself. It also puts him in jeopardy of perjury as well as contempt of court and contempt of Congress.
Their safest route is to rig a trial. If they fail they can still fall back on a narrow pardon, but then they can spin it by saying the court got it wrong. If they pardon anything before a trial it's a confession of guilt in that they are saying that they don't think they will win.
Thank you!
This sounds legit, and I hope it is right. Do you happen to have an easily readable source? My debate opponents will insist. ThanQ
Why wouldn't he have fifth amendment privileges?
"nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself"
If there can't be a criminal case then he can never be a witness against himself.
I see. Thank you.
And to this end, David Weiss (of 'honeypot plea deal' fame) is Hunter's PROSECUTING attorney.
Plot twist!
Trump pardons Hunter for testimony!!!
