With President Joe Biden having pardoned his scandal-plagued son, Hunter, some have begun to wonder who he might pardon next.

One theory championed by Daily Mail columnist Dan McLaughlin says that Biden may very well pardon HIMSELF next.

In fact, some on cable TV have already called for the president to do exactly that — and more:

McLaughlin’s theory is based on all the brazen lies the president has told regarding his involvement with his son’s illicit activities.

“In 2019, Biden claimed that he’d ‘never spoken’ with his son about ‘his overseas business dealings,’” McLaughlin notes. “He later claimed to have never met Hunter’s business associates. Both a lie.”

“When he debated Donald Trump in 2020, Biden claimed that ‘my son has not made money in terms of this thing about… China.’ A lie. He called Hunter’s laptop ‘a Russian plant.’ A lie,” McLaughlin continues.

The theory is also based on how Biden has begun to “cover his tracks” by pardoning his son, the number one individual that could get him in trouble.

McLaughlin rightly points to one of the emails on Hunter’s infamous laptop that described “10 [percent] held by H for the big guy.” Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski later confirmed that the “big guy” was none other than Hunter’s father.

McLaughlin also notes how in 2020, then-Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden’s “campaign enlisted former heads of intelligence agencies to back up the false claim that the laptop was a plant.”

“The Justice Department under Biden let the statute of limitations run out on influence-peddling charges, and IRS whistleblowers revealed how it had throttled their probes into Biden family business,” he writes.

Another prominent theory is that the president may pardon his predecessor/successor, President-elect Donald Trump.

On Monday, Fox News host Laura Ingraham floated the theory to Trump’s senior adviser Jason Miller.

“Jason, would Donald Trump accept a pardon from Joe Biden?” she asked on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

“At this point, I don’t know what Joe Biden is gonna pull,” Miller replied. “I think it’s nonsense. If it’s some aspect of some PR play, he might try to do it. But President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. That’s why everything is disappearing. That’s why he’s focused on actually serving for this second term here.”

What he meant when he said “everything is disappearing” is that all the previous charges against Trump are being thrown out or delayed as per his election to office.

Ingraham continued the discussion by asking the question again.

“Wait, would President Trump say ‘no’ to a pardon, though?” she asked. “Come on.”

“I’m not gonna go and put words in the president’s mouth,” Miller responded. “Everyone sees exactly what’s going on. This is a complete media manipulation by Joe Biden.”

Others have speculated that the next set of pardons won’t come from Biden but rather from a now-emboldened Trump.

Fox News legal editor Kerri Urbahn argued on Monday that Biden’s pardon of his son gives Trump plenty of room to issue his own pardons, whether it’s for Jan. 6th rioters or even himself.

“My takeaway from all of this is that this is actually fantastic, politically speaking, for Donald Trump,” she said. “Joe Biden has lowered the bar so much here in offering this pardon to Hunter Biden that I think Donald Trump will be able to pardon a whole host of people, including January 6th, without necessarily the pushback he would have received otherwise.”

“Of course, the people in the media will complain because they always do. But like, what can they point to at this point? So you have that. Maybe he could even explore a preemptive pardon for himself. And then, of course, he doesn’t just now have a mandate from the American people in cleaning up the justice system who are sick of lawfare. Now, he has it from President Biden, too,” she added.

“So they all agree that there is a problem in the justice system. The pardons are going to become a lot easier. And also, Joe Biden just pulled the ultimate move in overriding the DOJ, which, of course, in the past, people would go crazy if Donald Trump had anything to say about what the Department of Justice was doing. So I personally think President Biden just made things a whole lot easier for Donald Trump going into term two,” she concluded.
