This is a breaking news alert and credit goes to Kyle Becker for being the first I saw to stitch this all together…
Of course we all know at this point that Joe Biden has given one of the broadest, most sweeping Pardons anyone has ever seen to Hunter Biden, basically clearing him from anything he might have done wrong over the last 11 years down to cutting the tag off his mattresses or jaywalking or anything in between, but that’s not the end of the story.
No, not yet.
It turns out the Special Counsel on the Hunter Biden case is fighting back, claiming the Pardon does not clear him in this case.
Take a look:

BREAKING: Special Counsel *REJECTS* Dismissal of Hunter Biden Case After Joe Biden’s ‘Pardon’
In a stunning legal motion, DOJ prosecutors are opposing Hunter Biden’s request to dismiss his indictment, rejecting the notion that a presidential pardon erases the charges against him.
ADVERTISEMENT“The defendant pled guilty to all the charges in the indictment on September 5, 2024,” Special Counsel David Weiss’s filing stated. “According to the declaration filed on his behalf, the defendant again acknowledged his guilt in accepting the act of clemency.”
Prosecutors emphasized that Hunter Biden had not formally docketed the pardon, stating:
“If media reports are accurate, the Government does not challenge that the defendant has been the recipient of an act of mercy. But that does not mean the grand jury’s decision to charge him, based on a finding of probable cause, should be wiped away as if it never occurred.”
The filing also pushed back on Hunter Biden’s claims of improper motives behind the charges, declaring:
“It also does not mean that his charges should be wiped away because the defendant falsely claimed that the charges were the result of some improper motive. No court has agreed with the defendant on these baseless claims, and his request to dismiss the indictment finds no support in the law or the practice of this district.”
The Special Counsel’s firm rejection underscores that the charges—spanning tax crimes and gun violations—are not erased by clemency. Prosecutors concluded unequivocally:
“For the foregoing reasons, the defendant’s motion to dismiss the indictment should be denied.”
Hunter Biden’s legal battles are not over yet, as prosecutors dispute the implications of his father’s constitutionally dubious pardon.

Joe Biden Just Signed Hunter Biden's DEATH Sentence?
As usual, Clif High just gave us something to think about...
The man simply thinks differently, he's like a walking Apple slogan.
First up, a disclaimer: No, we're not promoting violence of any kind. We're simply doing a legal analysis here and the results are fascinating!
While everyone is all worked up about how Joe promised he wouldn't pardon Hunter, Clif points out what is being missed in this whole conversation.
Basically, once you're pardoned you no longer have your 5th Amendment "right to remain silent" because that only exists to make sure you don't self-incriminate yourself.
So...if there's no chance you can face criminal charges, and you get called into court to testify against, oh I don't know....maybe your Burisma partners? You have to answer.
And Clif suggests "they" would never allow it to get that far, if you catch his drift.
See here:
So, do you guys realize that Dementia Joe just signed Hunter's Death Sentence?
See, now that he is pardoned, he HAS to testify truthfully to MAINTAIN that pardon. And no action can be take against him for his participation in any crime....
BUT HE HAS TO NAME HIS PARTNERS IN…

BUT HE HAS TO NAME HIS PARTNERS IN CRIME....
yeah, they're gonna have someone shoot him in the head.
Just sayin.
Bye Hunter. You were a bacteria on a turd. Good riddance.
Oh my!
Now do you get it?
But I was curious to see if Clif was right in his analysis....
After all, to the best of my knowledge he is not an attorney.
So is this sound analysis?
The answer is actually "Yes".
ChatGPT explains that Clif is exactly right in what he says:
FULL TEXT HERE IF THIS IS EASIER TO READ:
If you are issued a presidential pardon, your ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment's protection against self-incrimination is significantly affected. Here's how it works:
- Fifth Amendment Protection:
The Fifth Amendment protects you from being compelled to testify against yourself if your testimony could incriminate you in a criminal case. However, if you have received a presidential pardon for the offense in question, you can no longer be prosecuted for that offense. As a result, you lose the ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment for those specific acts covered by the pardon because there's no longer a risk of self-incrimination.- Compelled Testimony:
Once pardoned, you can be compelled to testify about the events related to the pardon. If you refuse to answer questions in court, you could face contempt charges.- Truthful Testimony:
You are still required to testify truthfully under oath. If you lie during your testimony, you could be charged with perjury, which would not be covered by the original pardon.- Scope of the Pardon:
It's essential to note that the pardon only applies to offenses committed before it was granted. If your testimony reveals involvement in other crimes not covered by the pardon, you could still invoke the Fifth Amendment for those crimes or face prosecution for them.In summary, after receiving a presidential pardon, you lose the ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment for the pardoned offenses and are generally compelled to testify truthfully about those matters. However, you retain the right to assert the Fifth Amendment for crimes not covered by the pardon.
So....is this RIP Hunter?
Would you feel sorry for him?
