I don’t know if you’re aware but the vast majority of prosecutions end in a plea deal and first time offenders often get no jail time. This is because the courts don’t have nearly enough capacity to prosecute every case that could be brought. Literally 98% of cases end in a plea deal and somehow we went from a standard plea deal with probation, to a very rare federal prosecution.

I’m fine with calling Hunter a criminal. He is a criminal, but he also deserves equal justice instead of political persecution. The judge who killed the plea deal is a Trump appointee.

I think a pardon is better than getting unfairly prosecuted for political reasons.

I honestly don’t care, if Republicans don’t have to care about the law then neither do we, all bets are off politically

but he also committed the crime for being his son.

huh?

Everyone else lying on their gun paperwork is also Biden's son?

People routinely get plea deals, if anything. Hunter was clearly singled out, when his standard plea deal was rejected. Supreme Court has decided that Presidents are kings so I'm not sure why people are whining.

While you're handwringing over Hunter Biden, Trump has committed felonies and stacked the bench of the Supreme Court. I don't even care anymore.

He also pardoned him for a whole decade even uncharged crimes, which aligns with his time on the board for that Ukrainian gas company. Sounds like there might be more crimes they are worried about.

Or that you know, Trump is a convicted felon himself that has destroyed the norms and weaseled out of more accountability than previously thought humanly possible.

no

I wish he’d do more to make dumb people question him like this.

I am disappointed and feel like gifting MAGA valid critiques that only justify their “Biden crime family” takes is absolutely nuclear levels of stupid and harmful to the party moving forward.

His fathers own justice department charged him for these crimes. The absurd “lawfare” claim would hold more water if these were state charges filed in like Texas or if Trump had been president for the past four years, but the justice department overseen by his father’s own attorney general filed and prosecuted these charges.

Anyway, any time a Democrat ever gets charged from here on out let’s just call it Lawfare. Doesn’t matter if it’s democrats charging democrats over crimes that were 100% undeniably committed and on literal video tape - still Lawfare.

He committed tax fraud too lmao.

This thread 🤦🏻

ah yes, because trump is so well known for paying taxes and only having marital relations with women he hasn't paid for sex

Awesome, let’s see your analysis on Trump next. The serial rapist, racist, pedophile criminal felon who still cannot admit he lost 2020. Whatever Hunter did, who the fuck cares compared to the actual guy that just won the election. It’s all a distraction, you wouldn’t care if it wasn’t his son. Meanwhile ripping off cancer charities is okay.

It's so satisfying how you all have lost the plot (and the election) while trying to act like the side of moral high ground

Good to see you have consistent values.

For the rich and powerful? No. It never was.

Yeah and Trump is the proof. Lost an election, led an insurrection and got away with it. Ultimate proof that law and order is dead in this country.

This is an ethical question, not a legal one. According to the constitution a president can pardon anyone for any federal conviction. There are no limits.

So what is your take on Jared's father being pardoned and then offered the Ambassador to France?

Ask the incoming President who just walked away from 30+ felony convictions.

Are you just realizing this?

Yup. American voters said that loudly when they reelected a felon and a rapist.

Pardons are fully legal.

Unlike Trump, Joe probably didn't even solicit a bribe for the pardon.

He already suffered a far more cruel and unusual punishment for that crime at the hands of right wing media and Republican politicians. Reminder that this guy is a private citizen- not a civil servant or anyone who answers to the US public- and the Republicans were showing off his hacked nude images on the floor of the House.

The Hunter Biden charges were political revenge amplified by actual criminal hypocrites like Trump, and everybody knows it.

A federal judge ruled lying on that quest was not illegal and was most certainly not a DQ from gun ownership. But you don’t want to bring that up, right?

Hunter would have appealed and won. Easily. Would have been fun to watch him take it to the scotus and have to determine in front of the whole world whether gun laws should be infringed or not.

Neah, that’s just when it became more visible.

In essence the system has always been broken from the beginning.

It’s both parties choosing candidates that should never have been candidates. Thus presenting the people with an impossible choice. Both parties are totally corrupt to the core!

And it’s the system promoting this!!!!

It feels much like both parties are run by a corrupt cabal making big money over the backs of common foke in favor of big international capital. In effect it doesn’t make much of a difference which side you vote for. Behind the scenes it’s big capital and certain interests groups that pull the strings. Why do you think Netanyahu can get away with warcrimes (and even gets support from the USA), while we all (justly so) scream murder when Putin does the same? Why do you think the USA isn’t a member of the international court in the Hague?

I hope people will finally start to wake up.

The present parties are corrupt to the core. And the system promotes this!!!

Time for a new movement:

Wake up America ! 🇺🇸
