If Hunter Biden is given years of Federal felony jail time, HIS DAD is going to pardon him, 100%, its not even a question of if. Its done. There is no way as a Dad you are letting
YOUR SON rot in jail when you have the absolute power to wave your magic wand (pen) and let him out.
The only question is
when he will give Hunter the pardon and I will agree that the politics/optics will influence that. My bet would be that at a minimum, Biden waits until he is either re-elected or not re-elected, but the last month/week of his "lame-duck" period is the absolute latest that he would issue the pardon. Either way, there is no effing way that Joe Biden leaves office with his son languishing in jail.
First of all, no, its not happening

... secondly, Jill would divorce him over some crap like that...
"You're going to leave OUR SON to rot in jail?!?
Over POLITICS?!?
" No way Jill Biden is letting that stand. Joe wouldn't even be able to go to sleep at night without listening to her scream at him for at least 2 hours every night. He will have to pardon Hunter... there's just no possibility that he wouldn't. Write it down now and go ahead and smash that quote button.
