The indictment against the president's son comes after a plea agreement on tax and gun charges fell apart in July and amid a probe of his finances by House Republicans.
It kinda seems like it is politically motivated in the other direction. They are taking this much more seriously and a wealthy white man usually would have to deal with.
I wish our system was unbiased and treated everyone equally
The specific charge might be even more political. Lying about drug use in the questionnaire. It gives me some conflicting thoughts.
On the one hand, I don’t gaf about Hunter Biden and if he’s guilty of crimes, he shouldn’t be shielded from that because he’s the son of the guy who was elected because he wasn’t Trump.
But on the other hand, the charge is such a beaurocratic safety theatre bullshit charge and I don’t think any kind of justice is served by charging anyone with this.
I think they are going for a “they not only wanted to change the law to protect the person they supported, but even reduced gun control to do so”.
Though a way around this might be to charge Hunter for the Ukrainian corruption stuff (if there’s merit to it) and fight all of the bullshit laws still on the books. Not to save Hunter, but so that no one ever has to deal with that bullshit.
Yeah same. I don’t care about the Biden’s. If they are corrupt then charge them and go through a trial.
Corruption is largely not illegal though from what I understand. Hell Trumps kids very transparently used their office to get wealth and afaik they have no pending charges at all.
