Hunter's Lawyers
-
Hunter Biden’s legal team is launching an assertive public defense of the president’s son just weeks before federal judges in Delaware and California prepare to sentence him this month, and as his father faces a diminishing window to pardon him if he chooses to do so despite previously ruling it out.
In a 52-page paper titled “The political prosecutions of Hunter Biden” released Saturday, Hunter Biden’s lawyers criticize the foundation of the investigations into their client, arguing that he was prosecuted for crimes that an ordinary citizen would not have been. Hunter Biden is likely to face further unfair threats when President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the lawyers contend.
“With the election now decided, the threat against Hunter is real,” the report asserts. It cites comments that Trump has made about targeting his opponents, along with remarks from congressional Republicans who for years have investigated Hunter and other Biden family members.
“There is no disputing that Trump has said his enemies list includes Hunter,” the report says. “The prospect that Trump will turn his vengeance on the Special Counsel prosecutors if they fail to take a harder line against Hunter no doubt exerts considerable pressure on them not to let up on Hunter.”
LOL ... snort.

I’ve suggested that before but now I think he will pardon him broadly so that the new doj can’t find a new charge.
ETA: I misread and thought you meant Biden. What you suggest would be a really magnanimous act, I couldn’t rule it out as something Trump would do, neither could I rule out him doing the polar opposite.
But I don’t think it’ll get to that. I think Biden acts while he still can, which is before Trump has a chance to do anything.

There's a part in my head which says that it could see President-Elect Trump pardoning Hunter. Not, of course in the sense of being magnanimous, but in the self-aggrandizing sense of being perceived as being magnanimous.
It's a small part in my head, of course.
