I think it’s interesting how Trump cultists have been screaming for months that the DoJ should leave their guy alone, and look into Hunter Biden instead.

Turns out, they have been looking into him, and Hunter’s going to enter a guilty plea. Because the DoJ can conduct multiple investigations simultaneously.

Sooo… Trump supporters should be happy now, right? Everyone can shut up about the Trump investigations being witch hunts?

Its particularly interesting that Hunter got nabbed for evading taxes (technically failing to pay on time, but I suspect he wouldn’t have paid at all if the IRS didn’t enforce it.)

I bet all those Republicans who voted to gut the recent increase in funding for the IRS will never understand the irony.

God I wish. Talking to my parents about it all like last weekend over fathers day. They call the Biden’s the “Biden Crime Family”. Claiming Biden got rich from using his influence to be bought out by Ukraine and China. Makes no sense, why would Biden sign the CHIPS Act if he was bought out by China?

So many holes in the conspiracy theory…but they flat out refuse to hear anything else.

Oh trust me, they feel vindicated that they knew the truth all along about that slimeball hunter. See they’re 100% on top of things.

And I say great - no side is above the law. If you have the evidence show it in court. Huffing and puffing on social media and news outlets is just for show.

The wheels of justice grind slow, but grind fine.

Seems standard for the crime, right? At least for “semi” rich people. Didn’t pay taxes for two years. Got caught. Paid the taxes and penalties. Plead guilty to that fact. Get probation.

No rich person should get to avoid paying their fair share.

If he committed a crime, then hold him accountable.

He didn’t pay his taxes, he got caught, he paid up and now he’s on probation. Seems like he was held accountable.

He also illegally possessed a firearm, which Americans are weirdly lax about IMO
