Not even only that, but a blanket pardon for everything for ten years. Any federal crimes (which I am guessing there definitely are some) in that massive window.

But hey, "nobody is above the law".

What's really funny is that they impeached Trump for trying to investigate this during his first term.

Wait, did he? Imma be real with you I have not followed US politics much at all recently.

Yeah, full unconditional pardon for any activities between 2014-2024. Joe later claimed he did it because the investigations were "politically motivated"

How else do you explain a criminal investigation into a rich white man?

Everything is politics.

If you define it broadly enough, all crime is politics, so that's a valid reason.

I thought he pardoned Hunter for buying a gun as a crack addict. Surely that wasn't on the laptop.
