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

    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.

    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.

      Right? Who gives a shit - break the law do the time, no one should be in the business of identity politics.
