I would be concerned if Hunter were pardoned of crimes for which he were not charged and adjudicated. I will not be surprised if this be the case.
Here's the big idea if this is true. The USA is supposed to maintain a presumption of innocence required in the Constitution. An official act of pardon for a crime not charged and adjudicated is born of a presumption of guilt and is a perversion of law. Suppose there were a murder in there somewhere. Is that pardoned?
If all that is true I'd settle happily for some $50 fine misdemeanor charge to get pressed to test this in court.
Ruling class, though. Nothing will happen.
True and more. He's immune to (federal) charges during the 10 year period. All I can imagine is him being called to testify. He has immunity, so he can be (forced?) to testify. Against who, remains to be seen. Again, imagination at play, possibly against someone charged with treason. (I'm really reaching here. It's just as probable that nothing will happen, as well.)

That is the case.
My speculation: big guy knew Hunter would be raked over the coals once trump got in. Big guy knew it would directly lead back to himself. Big guy pardoned Hunter to make sure no investigation was started.
