No. Leave the pardon.
Now that he can no longer be convicted for the crimes he committed, he is no longer legally allowed to plead the 5th. Congress can call him to testify about every crime he was involved in, and if he refuses to talk or lies, he can be held in contemp of congress or guilty of perjury, which are two offenses for which he can still be sent to prison.
His shield is not as impervious as he thinks. It could also condemn several others, including Joe himself.
DC would never punish a democrat for refusing a subpoena
They would never Steve Bannon themselves
I'm not sure how valuable it is to prosecute a man who is 80-something years old with no political future, who is completely discredited already. What opponents of DJT didn't realize is that trying to prosecute someone often redounds to his advantage, and I hope the GOP doesn't make that same mistake.
I do support getting all the corruption on the record at least, and perhaps DJT pardoning Senile Joe.
He was just an example. He is well known for having directly benefited from Hunter's dealings in Ukraine and China, in exchange for favours from the US government. There is a LOT that Hunter could say about Joe's crimes.
But he is far from being the only person that Hunter could incriminate, were he to answer questions honestly.
