Hunter tried to make an Alford plea but the prosecution wasn't going for that so he entered a guilty plea for all counts. If you're wondering why Hunter didn't try to negotiate a plea deal, Andrew McCarthy explains what's going on:
First, Hunter’s move is rational only if he knows he is getting a pardon. The tax indictment charges him with multiple counts that, if memory serves, could run to 17 years of imprisonment. A normal defendant engages in plea negotiations in order to minimize his potential penal exposure — you offer to plead guilty to a count or two, and the government agrees to dismiss the rest of the charges, and your potential imprisonment is capped. That’s not what Hunter is doing. He’s saying he’ll plead guilty to all charges. He can only be doing that because he’s playing with the house money — he knows he’s not going to prison, so he doesn’t need to worry about capping his potential sentence.
There is zero chance that Dementia Joe will keep his promise not to pardon Hunter. Sentencing is December 16th which means he'll be home for Christmas although Joe might wait until January 19th just to maintain some suspense.

Next up on the dirty presidential pardon list that doesn't bother you: the January 6 "hostages."
How many of those people did Trump promise not to pardon?
Ah, yes. Savage comeback.
Using presidential pardons to protect one's own guilty ass again and again is fine. So is illicitly rewarding one's donors and criminal conspirators.
But it's anticipatory guesswork and conjecture about the future that shines a light on REAL abuse of power.
Exercise for us your powers of anticipatory guesswork and conjecture - Do you think Biden will pardon Hunter?
Feel free to be honest, because you indicated that illicitly rewarding one's criminal conspirators to protect one's ass is fine.

Is there anything that isn't projection with you?
And surprise, surprise that you'd pivot to a "challenge" because you have no justification that could defend the above Trump pardon list.
As for your sense of proportional acts, it's probably too late for you.
Why do you find it a "challenge" to be asked if you think Biden will pardon Hunter?
You'd like to shift away from Donald Trump's crimes, and from his obstructive list of pardons which he has only promised to expand. That's why you want to get back on the offensive in Hypothetical Hunter Land.
Which exposes your defective sense of proportion. "Go on, take a guess" is not an off ramp.
You want a prediction? Hunter Biden will never debate.
Dingleberry losing in the comment section again, joining death and taxes as inevitabilities of life.
Donald Trump doesn't agree with you that taxes are an inevitability of life, which is why he's a convicted felon.

"Shifting away"? I'm merely "staying in touch" with the whole point of the original post that you chose, of your own free will, to comment under.

You've only hypothesized and fantasized.
That's why you want your useless "take a guess" question to be legitimized.
Because no real response from you has materialized.
Well thank you for conceding that you think Hunter will indeed get that Biden Family pardon, which finally answers my burning question.
But I apologize that my burning question agitated you so much that it kept you up past 3:00 AM.
You definitely should have burned your question.
It's cute how you need to make up imaginary answers to vindicate your hypothetical scenarios.
