7. This will not be the end for Hunter Biden's battle with Republicans and likely more prosecutions.
Mon Dec 2, 2024, 11:07 PM
Dec 2

The Republican House and Senate will subpoena him to hearings and ask him under oath about all the alleged business improprieties along with his escapades during his addiction in order to try and besmirch President Biden . He no longer has criminal liability so he cannot (legally) refuse to answer. If he refuses he will be held in contempt of congress and AG Bondi will prosecute. (since that 'crime' will be after the dates covered by the pardon).
If he does answer and he does not 100% tell the truth, AG Bondi will prosecute for lying to congress. (again, since that 'crime' will be after the dates covered by the pardon).

Any objection to a contempt of congress prosecution by Democrats will be blunted as President Biden's DOJ prosecuted Bannon for the same thing.

Hunter Biden and President Biden will not be able to get this behind them until the Republicans have got their pound of flesh, one way or the other.
