We know Trump's going to blow a gasket. But, if his name was other than
Biden he wouldn't have been sentenced with as strongly as he was.

And if his name was anything other than Trump, he never would have been
charged with the misdemeanor paperwork crime (that no one in NY history had
ever been charged with before), let alone had the prosecutor bootstrap in some
federal crime (over which he didn't even have jurisdiction) to evade the
statute of limitations and make it a felony, then overcharge it 34 times.

At least there *were* others with the same convictions in Hunter's case. There
were no others with the same convictions as Trump in New York because
literally no one in history had ever been charged with such a bullshit made-up
crime.

 Hunter wasn't even sentenced yet.

Yes he was. I think for a year in prison.

Joe was pardoning himself as much as he was Hunter. His blanket pardon
dating back 10 years means all of Hunter's influence peddling that Joe
profited from won't matter.
Waiting for Joe to pardon his brother next.
 

Probably so, because a Republican DOJ would likely go after him next.
