A couple months ago the findings against Hunter Biden were nothing, not even worth taking to court, only under GOP pressure did the Trump appointed prosecutor take it to court. Now it seems like a big deal and 17 years (max). What happened? Why the change? Was new evidence found?
Not sure. Did they find out why he got 2 billion dollars from the Saudis? Oh, wait…
Nothing. As usual. Unless you read conservative propaganda, that is. In that case, he’s trying to dominate the world with a huge dong.
There’s no new evidence. Republicans are basically actively pursuing max level penalties for charges that are routinely just assessed with a fine or other punishment.
For example, the tax issues, normally the IRS just levy a fine for the unpaid tax crimes and a bit more to be paid, then they’re fine with it. Since they’re getting their money and then some.
There technically can be criminal charges and jail time assigned to said unpaid taxes, it’s just the IRS normally doesn’t care to pursue that. Since it doesn’t get them their money, which is all that’s really at issue.
But Republicans are pushing for the max level jail time charges for these crimes now, rather than how they are normally dealt with.
From what I’ve seen by casually scraping news, evidence of massive corruption in the Biden family continues to be uncovered; I haven’t seen much in these comments about the juicy overseas dealings stuff, the other charges mentioned here are more small fry (but still worth prosecuting). I encourage you to look up the details of the situation yourself because you’re gonna get heavily biased answers from social media, especially since this is a political issue. I’ll probably catch flak just for saying that.
A post from a couple months ago was asking something similar about all the Trump business; one commenter mentioned that it was because one better get everything right before one guns for the king, and it feels like a similar thing here.
the juicy overseas dealings stuff
You’re talking about the $2 Billion he got from the Saudis for selling Israel’s Defense Dossier, right?
I hadn’t heard of that but if you’ve got a link to a sauce I’ll check it out.
What’s a credible source(s) you’re going to believe and not just say that it’s propaganda for XYZ agenda?
If your answer uses the phrase “Biden Family” I’m not sure I’d expect an unbiased answer.
You’re correct, and I’m not going to say I don’t have a bias. But the result I wanted to produce is a more-informed perspective by encouraging people to do their own research, especially after asking a question in a forum where you’ll mainly get answers along the same line of thinking. The rest is just headlines.
What’s a credible source(s) you’re going to believe and not just say that it’s propaganda for XYZ agenda? Sounds like your mind is already made up on this matter
A credible source is one that isn’t overly partisan. One that has a reliable history of reporting facts reinforced with evidence. One with journalistic integrity when they _ do_ get something wrong.
For example, Fox espoused election fraud lies and lost a lawsuit over it – not credible nor reliable
NPR, while showing a slight bias particularly in their story selection, you can rely upon reporting facts and correcting articles and stories when inaccuracies present. Same with Associated Press, etc.
It’s a shame media literacy isn’t taught here.
I love it when “crime family” is said because it shows how you’ve fallen for confusing charges against Hunter to be something against a whole family. It’s both lol worthy and cringe worthy.
Maybe I misunderstood your question because I read it as referring to all charges made against him, and there’s definitely a corruption case building against both father and son here, which I assumed would fall under the scope of your question. But if you didn’t want to know that case was progressing then there’s been a miscommunication.
There it is again. Conspiracy theories have duped you into thinking one person is the family.
