Every Silver Lining Has A Cloud

 

So President Joe (Never going to pardon Hunter; not going to happen) Biden has issued a 10-year Presidential Pardon for his son Hunter for any federal crimes he may or may not have committed.  Color me 'unsurprised'.

But as they say: every silver lining has a cloud.  Hunter can no longer 'plead the 5th' because he cannot self-incriminate.  That threat has just been erased — permanently.

So now, when he's subpoenaed by a House subcommittee and asked "How much money went to your father?  How much to your uncle Jim?" he must answer — and truthfully, lest he commit perjury for which he has not been pardoned.

May he live in interesting times.
