Fat chance. Pardons are for paying customers and useful goons.

If it were me I would absolutely pardon my rival's son as both a matter of class solidarity and also to rub his nose in the fact that he's being a shitty father.

Yeah, but you are probably a normal person with sense of decency.

Yes, thank you, I think I am IRL. But I'm giggling to myself imagining an indecent scenario in which President Trump asks Hunter, as he's about to sign the pardon, "who's your daddy?".
