    Aaron Blake: “President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, on Sunday is exceptional not just because of the pardon’s recipient — the closest family member to receive a pardon in history — but also for its sheer breadth, according to experts on presidential pardons.” “Biden didn’t just pardon his son for his convictions on tax and gun charges, but for any ‘offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024.'” “That’s a nearly 11-year period during which any federal crime Hunter Biden might have committed — and there are none we are aware of beyond what has already been adjudicated — can’t be prosecuted.
