President-elect Donald J. Trump’s momentary talk of unity on election night may underestimate the depth of his resentment after multiple impeachments, investigations, indictments and lawsuits.
But first I think he's going to pardon Hunter Biden. He'll get to look like he's rising above politics (despite Hunter not being a political figure) while painting Democrats as hypocrites for prosecuting their political rivals. Then he'll pardon anyone associated with January 6th, using the Biden pardon as cover. Then, once he's proven all the fascist rhetoric wrong, he'll seek his revenge.
If Joe doesn't pardon Hunter, there's no way Trump will. He's spent 6+ years saying the Biden family is crooked, he wouldn't want to show he's weak and reverse his original unsubstantiated stance. I assume Joe won't pardon Hunter, to set some sort of norm for Trump, which Trump will completely ignore and pardon his family at the first smell of corruption.
He'd execute Hunter before pardoning him. Unless Hunter or J6ers are willing to cough up enough dough to buy a pardon, they're gonna get ignored and rot in a cell. Maybe Epstein themselves.
