Trump: I Could Pardon 'Bad Boy' Hunter Biden

HH: Will you pardon Hunter Biden?

DT: I wouldn’t take it off the books. See, unlike Joe Biden, despite what they’ve done to me, where they’ve gone after me so viciously, despite what, and Hunter’s a bad boy. There’s no question about it. He’s been a bad boy. All you had to do is see the laptop from hell. But I happen to think it’s very bad for our country. I was, I think you know this, but most people don’t, because most people aren’t of your talent. I could have gone after Hillary. I could have gotten Hillary Clinton very easily. And when they say lock her up, whenever they said lock her, you know, they’d start, 30,000 people, lock her up, lock her up. What did I do? I always say take it easy, just relax. We’re winning. Take it easy. Take it easy. I could have had her put in jail. And I decided I didn’t want to do that. I thought it would look terrible. You had the wife of the president of the United States going to jail. I thought it would be very bad if we did that. And I made sure that didn’t happen, okay? I thought it would be bad. What I didn’t know is that they were going to play dirty with me.

Why not? At that point, no one will care anyway, and the principle would have been established. But I'm pretty sure that Joe Biden will get there first, denials to the contrary. Joe will not leave office without at least commuting Hunter's sentence, and a full pardon seems more likely. 

Of course, this cuts against the "Trump will come after his opponents" accusation ... which is why Trump made this declaration.
