“Non One Is Above The Law”..sez OldJoe
Of course Joe says it because real Americans believe that no one is above the law.
I take this to mean you now believe in our criminal justice system.
Good for you.
Both Trump and Hunter are criminals.
See how easy that was.

Now charge him under FARA.
They'll never do that, though...the DOJ won't like where that leads.

Let's take that a step further. Donald Trump and Hunter Biden are criminals, but that does not mean that Don Jr. or Eric or Ivanka or Joe are also criminals.

Yep. The right-wing doesn't seem to be able to do that. Dunno why. Reality-challenged?

Both men will be barred from executive offices with any New York company for two years.
You may want to re-think your additional step.

That was a civil penalty, not a criminal conviction.
I stand by my statement.

Hunter Biden is guilty on three counts...31 fewer counts than the rapist, Boaty McSharkbattery.
Good thing he’s not running for president.
PS Democrats accept the courts decision in the Hunter case, while MAGA continues whining and making excuses about Criminal Dons case.

Prosecutor Leo Wise pointed to the Biden family who attended Hunter Biden’s trial and said that while jurors may recognize them, none of that matters. But it did matter; it mattered to the prosecutors. Because the prosecutors wouldn’t have charged this gun case if Hunter Biden wasn’t the President’s son.
I was a federal prosecutor in SDNY’s violent crimes unit and then I oversaw that unit as a deputy chief of SDNY’s criminal division. I have prosecuted and supervised many gun cases and in 12 years, I never saw anyone charged solely for lying about their drug use to buy a gun. Much less a first-time offender with no criminal history who had the gun for 11 days and never used it.
Hunter Biden was treated worse than anyone else would be by these Special Counsel prosecutors because he’s the President’s son. That’s not justice.

While they have not faced felony charges, Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka have faced multiple fraud lawsuits -co-defendents with their father- and lost those civil lawsuits.
They are a family of narcissistic grifters perpetuating all the lies being spewed by their convicted felon of a rapist father.
Like Jared Kushner's father, DJT is a felon convicted of financial crimes. It happens.
"Charles Kushner is an American real estate developer and disbarred former attorney. He founded Kushner Companies in 1985. In 2005, he was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, which he served in the Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery. As a convicted felon, he was also disbarred in three states.

He broke the law, evidently. So that was justice.
If anything, the cases they didn't prosecute were lapses in justice. If you lie on a federal form, there's always that little bit about "perjury" right above where you sign the form. That should be prosecuted always.

I don't care much one way or the other about Hunter Biden but will add this to the discussion.
Here's what Trey Gowdy, of all people, said about the Hunter Biden prosecution, noting that when he was a prosecutor “we never prosecuted addicts for lying and buying on federal forms. So, I don’t think Hunter Biden ought to be singled out either. Go after him on taxes, go after him on corruption. But I’d be curious how many people were prosecuted for being an addict in possession of a firearm, and I’ll bet it’s less than 10 in the last 12 months. I don’t think people ought to be singled out because of their last name. Treat him like you would ‘Hunter Smith,’ even though it’s Hunter Biden.”
So anyone arguing 'selective prosecution' about the convicted felon Donald Trump, ya' gotta' argue it for Hunter Biden too. Me personally, I'm okay with both prosecutions.

Me, too. I'm not really cool with selective prosecution, but if he did the crime, then it isn't inappropriate to pursue it regardless.

If it's a stiff sentence, say 10 years in prison, I'd be very unhappy. So we wait. I'm hoping it's just a fine.

If it’s true that he’s off the drugs and has been, and if he is truly repentant (I have no idea), then I would say a few years probation and a fine would be appropriate.
If it’s true that Trump is truly repentant, then .l. HA HA HA, I can’t help it. I tried to keep a straight face, but, but, impossible. But going outside the known parameters of reality, I’d say if Trump was truly repentant then several years probation and a hefty fine would be appropriate, as well. While everybody knows he’s a criminal and fraudster, he’s only been convicted once. Well, 34 times, but you get what I’m saying. If one concludes that he’s not acknowledged the error of his ways, then at least several months with a roommate named Bubba would be better.
Martha Stewart served 5 months in prison for her “first time offense”, fair would be treating people the same, or at least reasonably similarly,
