The dramatic development came shortly before jury selection was expected to begin in what would have been Biden’s second trial this year.

    Considering that the article said Pres Biden wouldn’t do it,

    He has said previously he would not use his presidential power to pardon his son or commute his sentence, and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Thursday that was still his position. “It’s still no,” she said.

    I’d be quite unhappy if this came to pass,

    Also, I’d love to see Joe say, fuck it, and pull a West Wing Bartlett, and pardon him in the last minute of his last day in office. I would pay very good money for this.

    I wonder what kind of sentence he will get. It’s relevant as the lighter it is, the less apparent need for a pardon.
