Just on Lawrence: Andrew Weismann says in his 20 years with the Justice Department...

[surfered]

…he’s never seen anyone prosecuted for the non-violent gun and tax crimes Hunter committed. On the gun charge, usually addicts receive treatment. In the tax charge, Hunter repaid the taxes with interest and penalties. Usually, on both charges, there would be deferred prosecution. He was only charged because he was the son of a President seeking re-election.

[Skittles]

1. of course he was targeted

and the fascist repuke fucks in TRUMP.2 would have gone after Hunter RELENTLESSLY

FUCK THEM

[Quanta]

3. We should keep the pardon train going.

Ole Joe should just go ahead and pre-emptively pardon any and everybody Trump might fuck with, imho. REEEAAALLYYY piss them off. Grow a backbone already!

[MadameButterfly]

5. and he just the first of many

[Skittles]

15. they literally have a list of the so-called deep state

which is anyone who doesn't go along with FASCISM

[Quanta]

2. Is there where all supposed to go, "Duh, no shit?"

n/t

[TommyT139]

4. On the gun charge,

On the gun charge, rethugs had been engaged in getting cases forward to have that sort of law tossed out. Then -- crickets.

The logical conclusion is that rethugs hate the Bidens more than they love their guns. That's how deep their hate is.

[Crunchy Frog]

18. It just means that for them, the law is situational. To be enforced against their enemies, not their friends.

[RockRaven]

6. Well that observation and five bucks may get one a cup of coffee...

Or maybe not, depending on the tariffs.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

7. It's probably why poor Biden couldn't perform during the debate

And afterwards. These Rapepublicans are sadistic bastards.

[SunSeeker]

8. Exactly. The prosecution of Hunter was a complete miscarriage of justice.

The cases cried out for a pardon.

I hope Biden issues many more.

[Silent Type]

9. Totally agree. Unfortunately, Hunter was part of GOPers' payback for trump charges.

Considering what happened in election, trump voters didn’t care about trials either.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. If you don't mind, can I clip and paste your comments?

[Silent Type]

11. Just read on Reddit that Geraldo Rivera has jumped into pardon criticism.

“Geraldo Rivera Slaps Trump Supporters With A Reality Check After Biden’s Pardon: ‘It’s not like he appointed him Ambassador to France’”

[dalton99a]

14. +1

[lame54]

12. And those who think he shouldn't have been pardoned...

Are heartless

He's recovering and made financial restitution

Prison would be strictly for the cruelty

[duncang]

13. Search for republican gun airport

And you will see republicans who have illegally carried guns into airports and been caught red handed. None of them were really penalized. Gun laws aren’t meant for republicans just the people they don’t like.

[Mike 03]

16. Kick for morning DUers. NT

[tanyev]

17. He was charged because he was the son of a Democratic President seeking re-election.

[Sundance1220]

19. The problem is not the pardon

Some republicans are saying it was the same thing they would have done. The problem is he kept saying he wouldn't pardon him. That makes a man I have nothing but the highest respect for a liar.

[Biophilic]

20. Nope, it makes him someone who changed his mind when the situation changed.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

21. He's on his way out of our government completely in less than two months.

I still like and admire him and I could not care less that he lied about this.

[Sundance1220]

23. And you are entitled to your opinion

And I happen to agree with you. That doesn't mean that many elected Dems aren't in the tough position of having to defend it. That's really all I'm saying but apparently having a different opinion is a problem.

[maxsolomon]

24. All Presidents lie.

Be less naive.

[republianmushroom]

22. But we have never had Merrick the Meek as AG, before, either.

46 months and counting

[calimary]

25. TOTALLY targeted.

[sop]

26. Everyone knows this.

Democrats, fucking Republicans and the goddamned corporate media that kept this bullshit story going for years, talking about Hunter's laptop, his dick pics and every salacious bit of "news" put out by Trump and his henchmen. Then Garland comes along and appoints a special prosecutor.
