Pardon means Fifth Amendment trouble for Hunter Biden

In the hours since the pardon, Republicans, along with legal experts, have elevated the significance of what the younger Biden’s pardon means for their long-standing investigations, contending that it opens up the playing field for lawmakers to question him on nearly everything he has now been pardoned from over the past 11 years.
Under the Fifth Amendment, people can refuse to answer questions if their responses might incriminate them in criminal cases. However, with all criminal liability now erased by the pardon, Hunter Biden could face contempt charges if he refuses to testify before congressional panels.
“Well, this now makes it much easier for a GOP Senate/House to call Hunter as a witness about his and his dad’s connections to Ukraine, etc. because the pardon prevents Hunter from asserting the Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself,” Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and host of the Four Boxes Diner legal analysis show, wrote on X.

If I was at all connected to Hunter Biden, then I’d be worried.
See he has a BIG Get Out Of Jail Free card. Unless you have one, you’re screwed. He’ll have to testify against you.
(Don’t know what happens if he refuses?)
So, like when the authorities go after any organized crime, they flip the bottom run to testify against the next rung up. Until they reach the top.
I’ve often thought that in the cases of election fraud, get the underlings, arrest them, and threaten them with prison and watch how fast they will turn states evidence against their boss. Or bosses.
It should be very entertaining to see whose hands are “dirty”.
