Hunter pleads guilty to tax and firearm related charges. Tip of the iceberg for that family, I'm afraid.

I think this is just a defense tactic and a political move. For the tax misdemeanors he will probably get probation and for the gun charge he will get placed in a treatment program. No real penalties will be assessed but the Bidens can now say that no one is above the law as proven by Hunter pleading guilty. Any findings of Geriatric Joe's corruption will now be blamed on the convenient scapegoat, Hunter, and old Joe will be held blameless. Just politics as usual. Bob

The 10 year penalty for the gun charge is being dropped to a pretrial diversion program! What a crock of crap! Rules for they but not for me! FJB and FHB too
The Bidens just eliminated a discovery process that would have tracked the money trail from the son to the father.

Yep, agree with everything said above.
What a load of Bovine Scatology.
You or I, on a Tax Evasion charge where we owed the Federal government over $100,000 in Taxes? (That is on the money he is claiming he took in.) We'd be going to Jail. (But then Al Sharpton has got away with it for years. Last I heard, he owed about $5 million in back taxes.)
I fully agree with the above statement of it being a Defense/diversionary tactic to mitigate the ongoing Investigation. I'd like to know why the story of "his girlfriend" at the time throwing his gun away in the trash can out front of a busy store, after Hunter had it for two weeks. (Hunter found out and told her to go back and get it.) She went back, couldnt find it (and the very best?) Spoke to the store manager about it, who called the Cops. Is not told more often. That is the height of irresponsible behavior.
Think we'd be getting away from that?
Can that investigation not continue on it's own? Assuming, of course, that it was allowed to by the current crooked DOJ.
