Just today I saw a news flash advertisement about a discussion about how far political prosecutions have gotten out of hand citing this and Trump's cases. The big difference here is Trump's charges are trumped up from thin air, Hunter is blatant in his crime and I am more amazed at the FBI who seems to have slept on a lot of this AND exclusion of Hillary for deleting emails and destroying phones that she was required by law to hand over. We got to put all under the same microscope.

One retired lawyer to another--what in the world was the Biden defense team thinking? They had to know Hunter had no defense to the charges and by going to trial, all the dirty Biden laundry was going to be aired. Why not a simple plea, take a six month sentence and keep all the dirt in a tidy pile under a mountain of rugs, where it would not become publicized unnecessarily? That could have kept everything off the radar of the low-info voters who are going to decide the election. Joe could have pardoned him after that and Hunter would basically emerge in the same shape he was in before the brouhaha boiled over. Now he's gonna be in the spotlight again on the tax charges, where another pile of dirt awaits public airing. He absolutely has no choice but to plea if he and his lunatic father hopes to avoid a financial scandal that might very well ensnare both of them, not to mention Uncle Jimmie and the rest of the Biden crime family. By the way, if I ever get arrested, remind me to never hire "sooper genius" Abbe Lowell as my defense counsel. I can't afford to pay through the nose for the services of a guy whose cross-examination skills are limited to saying, "Oh, yeah?" and "Says who?" before sitting back down.
