The Hunter Biden pardon is permissible, perhaps even praiseworthy on moral grounds. The problematic behavior was committed by one clamped in the deadly vise of addiction. Anyone so perfect as to not have suffered from that or some equivalent trap should be congratulated and asked to check their sanctimony at the door. Furthermore, Hunter Biden, to the best of my knowledge, is not a violent criminal nor a traitor. If a “life virtuously lived” test was given to him and Trump’s Cabinet selections, there are very few of those who would not have to cede a position closer to the front to Biden.
As for group pardons, pre-emptive pardons, self-pardons account me out. The concept is patently ludicrous - nobody could do it fairly and the Democrats would be stained hugely for generations to come. Let Trump be Trump - the more he acts in delivering misery to others, the more misery he will endure. Let it come without trying to put up boulders to block it - Trump’s greatest moment of triumph is going to lead to his disgrace and ruin.
I hope you are right but I doubt it. That's why I believe a Fresh Start pardon for ALL would be in the interests of justice just as Lincoln planned to give pardons to almost everyone in the south after the Civil War before his assassination.
