solidifies his legacy as corrupt. major win for trump I'd say. it's such a simple and obvious thing to point to. this is the kind of thing that people remember and care about because it's such an obvious double standard and such a relatable situation. unlike vague legal dealings hunter biden was guilty of the kinds of crimes average people go to prison for, and he was exempted by his own father. it's the most blatant and open corruption.

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.
