Madison understood immediately the force of Mason’s objection, but he had a response—a response in which he described limitations on presidential power that, to our great misfortune, have for too long been forgotten. Was there a danger in giving the president the power to pardon? “Yes,” replied Madison, but there was a remedy for the danger in the Constitution as drafted.
“There is one security in this case to which gentlemen may not have adverted: if the President be connected, in any suspicious manner, with any person, and there be grounds to believe he will shelter him, the House of Representatives can impeach him; they can remove him if found guilty.”
Impeachment, in other words, can start, not when the President has been formally charged with a crime; he can be impeached if there are “grounds to believe” that he might “shelter,” that is to say, protect with a pardon, someone with whom he is connected “in any suspicious manner.”

The House has never impeached, nor has the Senate ever tried, a former President. However, both chambers have previously determined that they retain power to proceed against an executive branch official that has resigned from office. The principal precedent is the 1876 impeachment of Secretary of War William Belknap.Jan 15, [link to crsreports.congress.gov (secure)]
To systematically destroy the illusion, the White Hats must periodically inject planned narratives attributed to the enemy! Biden pardoning his son is a well timely planned eye opener for normies! They were made to pick between Kamala and Biden; they went along with Kamala! The minor division created with this event allows White Hats to take advantage of Biden's action! Normies with short term memory and induced animosity against Biden will easily question this pardon just because he was percieved to be Kamala's opponent within their sphere of influence!
