470: Why did Joe Biden pardon Hunter, and was it right?

The boys drink a sidecar cocktail, then discuss Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter. Despite repeatedly promising not to do it, Biden did what everyone knew he was going to do. At this point, everyone is now on record as not trusting the justice system. The timing of the pardon is interesting. Did he want to get it through before Kamala 25-amendmented him? Or, rather, did he want to do it before Hunter was actually sentenced? Did Biden lie about his promise not to pardon Hunter, or did he mean it and change his mind? Was the pardon self-defense? After all, Hunter could spill the beans on the Biden crime family, which could lead to lots of trouble for Joe. The pardon isn't small potatoes either. It's a blanket pardon for anything he did or could have done over an 11-year period. The pardon could backfire on Joe, since Hunter can no longer plead the 5th. The boys enjoy their cocktail and discuss all the implications.
