I’m not sure that Joe Biden has fully considered the ramifications of his pardon of Hunter. The pardon is extremely broad and covers activities while Joe was vice president. This means that Hunter cannot plead the Fifth if asked about his business dealings with Ukraine and China, including his Dad’s involvement, because, with his pardon, he has no risk of criminal jeopardy.

True. Bring him before Congress and grill Hunter about the “Big Guy”, Ukraine and the like. And, if Hunter were to commit perjury before Congress, he could be prosecuted for perjury because the crime will have occurred post-pardon.
PARDON: If this is true Joe Biden may have committed a crime ‘selling’ a pardon is illegal. If he traded the pardon for Hunter’s silence he violated 18 U.S.C. § 201 prohibiting public officials from corruptly agreeing to receive anything of value in return for being influenced in the performance of their official duties.
