Hunter Biden will plead guilty to two federal tax misdemeanors and one charge tied to gun possession, according to the filing in a federal court in Delaware.

This will be made a huge deal by the GQP but it will interesting to see what the full charges are.

I can see it already: "Ha! Hunter Biden did crimes! Do you think he should go to jail?"

"Well, yes, we do."

"Gotcha! Why should Biden go free when Trump is being indicted?"

"That's not at all what we said."

"Clearly you're just playing political favoritism! Witch hunters!"

My argument has always been "if he's done the crime, he should do the time". And one of the things that always kills me about Hunter which perfectly illustrates your point is how much they hate the fact that Hunter has gotten lucrative jobs and deals based on his father's political standing. Yet when you mention anything sketchy about the deals that Ivanka and Jared got? They clap their hands over their ears or make whatever excuse they can think of for why those two shouldn't be held to the same standards relating to enrichment via political favors.
