"One high-level Republican, conceding it may only be 'wishful thinking,' even floated the idea of a Harris victory followed by Biden pardons of both his son, Hunter, and Trump," reports Martin. "That would take the issue of both cases off Harris’ plate and, more to the point, drain the energy behind Trump’s persecution complex so that Republicans can get on with the business of winning elections."

OMFG.

The Kaiser let Hitler out of prison after the Beerhall Putsch because he thought there was no threat.

Don’t play with fire. Put the guilty assholes in jail after a fair trial. They are not repentant. Keep them there as long as possible.

No leniency.

Reads like political fan fiction. I put this story right up there with Trump's "Joe is going to storm the DNC and reclaim his candidacy" little wishful fantasy.

Joe Biden, in his final month as president, will pardon every guilty American politician right before sending SEAL team six to assassinate Netanyahu and Putin at the same time. Then he's going to ride on a bald eagle into the Summer Country while eating an ice cream cone and flipping off all the Fox News pundits, whom Gandalf has previously barred from those promised lands.
