President Joe Biden's statement that he will not pardon his son on his pending gun trial is moot, Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Wis., told Newsmax on Saturday.
Given the presence of high-powered attorneys standing behind the president's son and the first lady sitting in the front row, Hunter Biden is likely to get a slap on the wrist, Grothman told "The Count," adding that if he's convicted, it will be for a crime that pales in comparison to sitting on the board of Ukrainian gas giant Burisma for a quid pro quo.
"I'm sure," Grothman said, "the penalty is going to be relatively minor anyway. Right? In the grand scheme of things, all the crimes his son has committed, I would expect the penalty to be a fraction of what it should be given the damage he's done to the country, particularly when you consider our relationships with Ukraine and our relationship with China."
