Hunter Biden Case May Proceed as a Matter of Procedure – Or Not

- By - Leave a Comment

Update: Judge closes the case.

After the pardon of Hunter Biden, the prosecution is pushing to follow through with the case, even though Hunter was preemptively pardoned.

“the pardon does not clear Hunter Biden of his culpability or indicate any flaw in his indictment”

“the defendant has received an act of mercy. But that does not mean the grand jury’s decision to charge him, based on a finding of probable cause, should be wiped away as if it never occurred”

–Conservative Brief

Opinion: This sounds logical on the surface, but does it actually matter or actually change anything? I’m not a lawyer. Let me know your thoughts in the comments

“The current President of the United States has so much respect for the law that he has said he would not pardon his son”

“He is not pardoning his son…because he is living what it means to have a rule of law in this country…so impressive”

“The contrast is so clear in terms of decency and principle…”

For those offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024, including but not limited to all offenses charged or prosecuted (including any that have resulted in convictions) by Special Counsel David C.

Trump – “The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar while we stand by and watch is OVER.
