      IIRC, it’s a civil case, can’t get pardoned for that (although I guess he could be pardoned for contempt charges?).

      He’s getting a pardon, Vince McMahon has paid enough to get one as well, also the guy who tried to kill Pelosi’s husband, he’s gonna get a pardon. Honestly Biden should pardon Hunter before leaving office just as a fuck you to the GOP and to get them riled up

      He can’t be pardoned for a verdict in a civil case.

        I used to think a felon wouldn’t become president too, but that was before SC decided he is immune for all official acts.

          It doesn’t even make sense, though, there’s nothing to “pardon”.
