Why is there any buzz about this?
Why does every top comment talk about trump when it comes to Hunter?
Why can’t people see a person commiting a crime and think “Ok, that shouldn’t be done, hope they are caught” and that be it?

You really don’t know why? Maybe because almost the entire GOP and right wing media has been screeching about Hunter’s Laptop for literally 3.5 years nonstop?

I’m glad it’s done with now, he was never an elected official and it was only news to begin with because they wanted to paint his father as corrupt.

The reason is because of 5 years of nonstop propaganda from the GOP and tax payer funded expedition into Hunter Biden (the probe began in 2018). And after all that talk, all the lies and misinformation, all of your money they spent in their retaliatory attack on Hunter Biden, they come up with two misdemeanor tax counts and a minor gun charge. Yeah, sure. He did it, he deserves whatever the consequences are for it. But what was uncovered was not worth the amount of time and money, and lets face it, propaganda, the GOP put into it. I promise they spent more money trying to uncover something, anything, Hunter did than the $100,000 he owes the IRS.

So for me it’s not so much that Hunter doesn’t deserve to be charged, it’s the means by which the charges we filed and the extreme amount of wasted time and money and poisoning the well the GOP has done to arrive as such minor charges.

It’s been the center of conspiracy theories since before Biden was elected, because they don’t actually have anything useful to accuse Pres. Biden of and paint their own candidates as the heroes. It’s honestly funnier that they found it was tax evasion the whole time, because it’s just a generic rich person crime instead of “jewish mole people space laser blueprints”-tier bs.

Strange, the top comment I see is about the punishment fitting the crime and Wesley snipes getting prison time.

I believe most of us do not know all the facts about any case. If you did something wrong you should be punished for it… and I’m glad he is. I don’t care who you are - there’s a reason why lady justice is blind, because no man is above the law.

For sure, if you don’t pay taxes, you owe back taxes. If you steel top secret classified documents compromising national security… I don’t know what the debt to society would be in that instance - that’s beyond my pay grade to determine.
