So Hunter Biden will not be going to jail.
Good for him – finally, after years of scrupulously avoiding taking advantage of his family name and his father’s various positions, it paid off for him. The Justice Department realized he was so honest and humble that it completely understood how he could innocently forget to file the odd tax return and accidentally omit some information from a government form.
Actually, I’m kind of amazed the White House hasn’t tried trotted out that very statement.
Usually, when you record yourself committing multiple felonies - https://californiaglobe.com/articles/if-you-actually-do-the-crime-do-not-do-the-rhyme/ - the justice system tends to look at such proclamations of innocence with a rather jaundiced eye.
But Hunter got the benefit of the doubt so, again, good for him.
Artist, natural gas exec, green consultant, supporter of oppressed sex workers, benefactor of struggling Colombian farmers, staunch defender of the second amendment, author, Navy guy, doting father, emotional bulwark for depressed sisters-in-law - his resume of goodness and success speaks for itself.
Again, surprised they haven’t trotted that out, too.
And do not dare to wonder: “Hey, if it were me, would I get the same deal?”
That question – like so many others these days – is strictly verboten.
We told you the sky is not blue so shut up about it.
