@#2 ... "Might"???? ...
Oh, I agree.
But regarding what Pres-elect Trump has stated...
imo, Pres-elect Trump has shown himself to be transactional.
Looking at it from a different angle, what will any pardon be a benefit to him, personally?

Pardoning the insurrectionists sends a signal that "Yes, I keep my promises, and I will pardon you if you break the law on my behalf." That in turn will make the people who work for him as well as his supporters more willing to do what the asks even if it is against the law.

Biden should pardon Hunter immediately. The gravity of Hunter's crimes don't even come close to eclipsing the criminal escapades of many Trumpers. Millions of people in the US are guilty of the same crimes Hunter has been convicted of. Yeah, there will be a lot of bluster from the media. Especially over on Faux. But frankly, Joe no longer has anything to lose.

Yes, Joe should pardon Hunter. He is a fool if he doesn't.

Biden should literally pardon EVERYONE. ---- over -------- planned retribution

Pre-pardons for the entire Democratic party!
But seriously he probably should pre-pardon himself, his family members, the Obamas, the Clintons, Schiff, Pelosi, etc.

It's always been obvious corrupt DC Biden grift. But, it's now over. Nothing to do but pardon Hunter and fade away with the goods.

Epstein's rancid wingman has a history of pardoning cop killers so the J6 degenerates might be in luck.

Biden the liar might be thinking about pardoning all treasonous Democrats that have cost us many lives and raped women and killed many Amerivans with drugs and crime. Wouldn't surprise me. Deport them all! Every socialist Democrat should live in a socialist state and see how it works out for them
I can no longer stand Democrats ever since I experienced decades of them and their frothy lying anger .

Your ignorance is showing. The Undocumented commit fewer crimes than a legal resident or a US Citizen. Do try and keep up.

Trump made a dozen corrupt pardons and instead you focus on an imaginary biden pardon.
Typical.

Biden has one legal path left to save america from trump. He has too many ethics to use it though.
Trump won't have that issue.
