Ahhh as expected, President Biden has granted a full pardon to his son for a specific time period in order to protect him from future prosecution. https://t.co/hLqKBgHfMK pic.twitter.com/qrUots4xRj

2014 through 2024? I didn’t know you could be pardoned for crimes you have not been investigated or charged with yet.
That was my understanding too.
It’s one of those “Blanket Pardons.”
But when Trump will pardon little grandmas who did nothing more than walk or pray, the left and their media will explode with rage !!!
Thick as thieves.
