ANSWER: The only pardon that has any real validity is that for Hunter. All of these “preemptive” pardons are not valid. The Supreme Court made this issue very clear. Granted, President Ford pardoned President Nixon. That was not really constitutional again as a preemptive pardon. However, nobody pressed the issue because it would have torn the country apart. So they let sleeping dogs lie, as they say. It is by no means a precedent for Biden, but this showed that everyone he pardoned is, in fact, guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The Supreme Court explained very clearly in Burdick v United States, 236 US 79 (1915) that the acceptance and grant of a pardon is essential to its validity. The person must “accept” the pardon, for the court has no power to force it on him (see also United States v. Wilson, 32 U.S. 7 Pet. 150 (1833).
Nevertheless, here is the issue. The Court made it very clear that there are substantial differences between legislative immunity (Amnesty) and a pardon. They explained that a PARDON carries an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it, whereas legislative immunity (Amnesty) is noncommittal and tantamount to silence of the witness. This is a huge difference, so every Biden Pardon means they are guilty of high crimes and/or misdemeanors.
