Did you miss the part in that article where he paid back all taxes and penalties? We got a real criminal on our hands! Untimely tax payments because you were a drug addict? Straight to jail.

The gun charges were the result of a fishing expedition; rarely is anyone ever charged with those things stand-alone[0].

But that's okay, keep ignoring my questions and applying the highest scrutiny to a former drug addict and private citizen who has never held public office. Trump might give you a medal for your service in deflecting to Hunter Biden slop anytime Trump's unprecedented corruption is brought up.

Hunter Bidens crimes ( which he was convicted of ) had a 17 year sentence associated with them. Yes, that was serious jail time.

You overlooked an important aspect, one that a fair view would reveal.

Hunter Biden was central to all the business deals with foreign interests. He introduced people to Joe Biden, he brought Joe onto phone calls with them, he received and distributed millions of dollars. Hunter Biden had intimate knowledge of all these visibly corrupt dealings with President Joe Biden.

And he faced 17 years in prison. A drug addict with a history of indiscretions, yet central in all these shady dealings.

Of course he never saw jail for the crimes he was convicted of. Joe Biden pardoned his business partner. His weak link business partner.

Did that thought ever cross your mind? You throw fits about things you can’t prove about Trump, but find ways to justify and diminish anything bad about ‘your side’. Your brain is playing tricks on you.

All of what I have written is provably true. Yet you will find ways to ignore, justify, diminish.

It’s not uncommon, many people do it. For either side.

The pardons were completely justified in the face of endless political witch hunts done by Republicans in Congress and the upcoming (at the time) revenge tour from the second Trump administration.

I’m sorry, I truly believe you are incapable of seeing truth when it is in front of you. It is an amazing phenomenon of today’s bifurcated political culture.

You said:

> throw fits about things you can’t prove about Trump,

What things aren't proven? He's running a meme coin while in office, he started a mobile service provider while in office, he's pardoned crypto fraudsters, accepted a $400M jet as a "gift" from Qatar, dropped a case against Eric Adams in a quid-pro-quo attempt, and said he'd put the President of Indonesia in contact with his son for business questions. I'm sure there is much more that I'm missing but I'll ask again: how does that compare to the "Biden crime family" who's apparently sooo corrupt that they let the investigations and cases against Hunter play out under Joe's DOJ? Meanwhile Trump is literally assigning insurance lawyers to go after people because no serious prosecutor will take the case; that's a revenge tour and everyone saw it coming.

Again, the corruption is unprecedented. Whatever the Biden criminal masterminds were doing is tame in comparison to this.

EDIT: don't forget the Whitehouse dinner for investors of the meme coin either.

First: we agree, the things you have listed about Trump look like corruption to me, too. What we seem to disagree on is the corruption in the Biden administration. You seem to be unable to see that.

About the Trump allegations ( again, which look like corruption to me ): is there any more firm evidence of corruption than there was against Biden? It looks to me like both sides are accepting money, diamond rings, jets (!), luxury automobiles, etc. for similar consideration. ( Namely, access to the Executive branch of the US government ).

So why is the corruption on one side totally obvious and evil, and on the other side doubtful and excusable?

I see corruption on both sides. Why can’t you?
