Hunter Biden Pardon: Legal Commentary by VFAF VP Attorney Jared Craig

Legal Commentary by VFAF VP Jared Craig: 

A few points on the Hunter Biden Pardon not in the news:

1) This only applies to federal crimes. Any state where jurisdiction is proper can criminally charge Hunter under state law. His home state, or any state where a state crime is committed can charge him.

2) Although a Presidential Pardon is not subject to any oversight from the Legislative Branch, the US Attorney General can appeal the pardon to the Federal Courts/Judiciary. The current precedent in the US Supreme Court is problematic because Hunter is not a former President, and Joe Biden's conflict of interest is present due to him being a likely accomplice of Hunter's crimes. Hunter's pardon had no larger purpose to the nation (like Ford for Nixon). Issues for interpreting broad/unlimited pardoning power simply do not exist with Hunter's case.

3) Hunter is still subject to Congressional or Judicial subpoenas in the federal prosecutions of anyone else. Refusal to comply could result in new crimal charges that would not be shielded by the pardon.

4) Hunter's 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination in federal courts disappears due to no threat of being charged if sentenced. He could be compelled to testify in the trial of others. He would be exposed to perjury and criminal contempt for lying or refusing to testify. His sentence is a life-sentence as a sad, evil, drug addicted, deadbeat dad, miserable excuse for a man. I forsee a fatal drug overdose in a foreign country within a year.

Biden gave a yooge gift to the J6 Defendants and President Donald J. Trump. January 21, 2025.
