    "Attorney General Merrick Garland pushed back Wednesday against GOP accusations that the Justice Department’s plea agreement with Hunter Biden reflects a double standard of preferential treatment for Democrats," CNN.

    Republicans are making complete fools of themselves ... again. They can be forgiven. The Republican politicians are talking to Trump's fans, and they are not very bright. They think responsible news is "fake news" because Trump says so.

    People are not imprisoned for tax fraud if they have paid the taxes and all fees and penalties. Hunter Biden has done that.

    Crack addicts who buy a gun are not placed in prison. The gun is taken away, and the addict is told not to do it again. Hunter was that addict.

    Republicans are comparing the treatment Trump is getting for stealing the nation's classified documents with the treatment Hunter is getting, and are saying the President's son is getting preferential treatment, an assertion that is about as ludicrous as it gets.

    Comparing Trump's crimes to Hunter's crimes is like comparing a speeding ticket to robbing a bank. Republicans are paying a dear price for their self-respect to stand in front of a television camera and compare the two.

    A.G. Garland explains.

    CNN continued, "Garland was pressed during a news conference in Sweden to address accusations from Republican lawmakers that Hunter Biden merely received a “slap on the wrist” while former President Donald Trump was criminally indicted.

    "Garland rejected the idea, pointing to the fact that the US attorney in Delaware tasked with investigating Biden’s son was appointed under the Trump administration.

    "Garland’s remarks come after David Weiss, the US attorney overseeing the Biden criminal probe, told House Judiciary Committee Chair Rep. Jim Jordan in a letter that he had full autonomy over any decision making on the case.

    I have been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for deciding where, when, and whether to file charges and for making decisions necessary to preserve the integrity of the prosecution, consistent with federal law, the Principles of Federal Prosecution, and Departmental regulations,” Weiss wrote in the letter.

    "The attorney general said that any further questions to “explain” the plea agreement should be directed to the US attorney in Delaware."

    Did I say that in their pathetic defense of the hapless Trump, who stole some of our nation's top secrets, some Republicans are making complete fools of themselves? Others are smart enough to stay the hell away from this Republican catastrophe brought on by Trump's uninformed fans.

    By a lengthy margin, Trump remains the leading Republican candidate for the Presidency in 2024.

    It wasn't about him being a ruggie. It was about him lying about it on an official ATF document. And later throwing the gun away near a school without reporting he no longer had it. The fact that he was a mind fried druggie was not the issue.

    yes, but that isn't the point, the point is few people are charged on late filings (no matter how long) as long as there is a willingness to file and pay the amount owed.
    I was five years late for one particular year. they sent me letters, I called them and worked out a formalized plan, I would file, and make payments on the amount owed.
    What is the predication for this this inquiry?

    1. Doing business abroad is legal.
    2. Shell LLCs are legal
    3. SARs are not evidence of crime, says so right on the gov website.
    4. filing late is that uncommon and most people are not charged and is not related to the matter predication for an investigation

    So, what is the predication for this line of inquiry? In order for predication, there has to be some evidence of illegal activity, and the mere fact of having LLCs, doing business abroad, or SARs, is not evidence of illegality, which is to say , 'probable cause' to warrant an investigation

    An IrS whistleblower has just charged that the IRS wanted to charge Hunter with a felony 2 years ago. The Attorney General shot it down and that is something that just doesn't happen. Those are the records. Verify them!

    In fact, the vast majority of federal firearms cases either concern a firearm used in another crime of violence, or a firearm possessed by somebody who has a prior felony.
    Hunter Biden's is low down on the list of firearms offenses.

    Seething hatred of the President drives some to go after his relatives but, if anything, he was targeted because of his family name, not in spite of it.

    Thats a felony.
    I would be facing a 10 year sentence if i did that because my last name isn't biden, a rule for thee but not for me.
    I am more concerned about how people with certain names can escape a 10 year sentence.

    He is low on the list because he is protected. he committed a felony if i committed it and was charged you would be happy with me getting sentenced to 10 years because I disagree with you. that's fascism. maybe you should change your screen name to Mussolini.
    He committed a felony why should he be above the law?
    He wasn't targeted, he just did it because he wanted a gun. then he tossed it in a dumpster which also is a crime but not for your precious bidens they are above the law.

    BLM are blacks raging against police brutality. That's not a 'democratic' thing. That most blacks vote for democrats is an incidental fact.

    Antifa are an amorphous hodge podge of nitwit agitants who are not mobilized to accomplish anything.

    Whatever they do is irrelevant to and has nothing to do with Democratic policies.

    Back to my original statement; the only folks I know who are wanting to defund the police are Republicans who want to dismantle the FBI.

    So, the converse of Republicans are Democrats. NOT 'BLM or antifa'.

    Capiche? So if you want to do a apples to apples comparison, point to a Democratic Group and how they are approaching the police.

    Not every code violation in this world is prosecuted.
    so, if you were a drug user, and you answered 'no' to this question on the 4473 form:

    “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”

    You think you would get 10 years for answering no untruthfully?

    That, polydectes, is bullpuckey.

    First, the odds of your getting a criminal referral for answering 'no' is practically non-existent.

    If you got a criminal referral, which, in 2020, was some 433 referrals out of 27 million background checks, only 243 of those were charged, and that doesn't
    even tell us who was convicted.

    so, how does it come to pass that he got caught?

    Because he is famous. Because he is Hunter Biden.

    If it were you or me, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

    But, of course, it's all about Hunter Biden, a private citizen, I mean,
    that Jared Kushner, who was a Senior WH Advisor, got $2 billion and a $125,000,000 management fee as blood money from Mohammed Bin Salman, that far more important fact of corruption doesn't even bother you. Oh, but Hunter Biden, he lied on an background check form, that's something to bellyache about.

    My gawd the right has lost it's mind on it's priorities.

    Especially when they are committed by the holiest of the holy. your god and his son are clearly above the law.

    you need to read up lying on a 4473 is a felony and can carry a 10 year sentence. not your golden boy the law dosen't apply to him.

    It's okay, I get it they could dig up 15 corpses in his backyard and that would be perfectly okay with you. you have absolutly Zero integrity you don't have to explain it any more. thanks for making it obvious. i won't expect anything from you but justification of the means by the ends.

    Seething hatred of the President led to the Mueller Report, the Steele Dossier, Impeachment I, Impeachment II, Jan 6 and more. Democrats are a cult of hate.

    Page 36 of the crazy lib handbook... accuse your opponents of exactly what YOU are doing.

    *Delaware US Attorney David Weiss sought to bring federal charges against Hunter, 53, in the Central District of California and in Washington, DC, last year and was denied both times by Biden-appointed US attorneys Martin Estrada and Matthew Graves, respectively.

    The President's haters were salivating over the prospect of getting at him through his son.

    There is no evidence of the President interfering in the Justice Department's treatment of Hunter Biden. None.

    Despite his being treated more severely than others in comparable situations, the Biden haters are very pissy.

    The haters will just have to hope the ongoing investigation will come up with something that satisfies their needs.

    You appear to be very pissy because the hyper-partisan claptrap you have been force fed does not comport with reality.

    Few people are charged because it is not something which is likely to come to light accidently. There is no systematic way to detect lies on gun applications. They are only detected if something comes up which causes that background check to be reviewed.

    Obviously BLM / Antifa are not in control of police budgets. 90+% of police precincts have increased funding, not decreased it, so the "defunding" line got old couple of years ago.

    Sure seems that way

    Hunter missed filing taxes 2 years in a row. Did Hunter file the mandatory extension request for both years?

    Apparently he missed the deadline, hence the charges.
