Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He is being charged with a federal felony in the United States District court of Delaware for lying on a Federal form.
I’m more interested in them following the money from Ukraine and China, but I guess it’s easier to hit him with a charge that us poors could just as easily fall foul of.
The President can grant a pardon to a person who was convicted in a United States District Court, the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, or a military court-martial. Generally, a pardon is an expression of forgiveness. A pardon can help eliminate some of the consequences of a conviction.
There is a less than zero chance that he will be held accountable anyway.
How many times did Jared lie on his SF-86 before his father-in-law said "fuck it, give him a clearance anyway"? And talk about following the money... oh boy.
You seem to misunderstand me. I don’t give a shit about which side you cheer for. Corruption is corruption. Prosecute them both if they are guilty, but this article is about the Biden family, and that’s what I am leaving a comment about.
The article is about Hunter being prosecuted for guns and drugs, an entirely personal matter. You decided to complain that it's not bringing Joe down for some other nonsense that never happened and speculation about pardons. That doesn't exactly scream good faith discussion.
As far as the republican lead investigation has shown Hunter has received no money or bribe form anyone and, since I don't think ALL republicans are complete morons, expecially in cases where they do have vast interests at stake, I tend to think that this should be the case.
Would they have found definitive proofs of bribery or of foreign agents paying dues to Hunter for any kind of return I think we would have seen them in the open but, since this has not been the case, I think I can fairly certainly ascertain that Hunter has received nothing in return for nothing.
But if you want to cling to the idea that he has sold anything to a foreign government while not holding any office in the USA government hey, you do you. Keep wearing your tinfoil hat and have a great life 👍🏻👍🏻
If Hunter gets a pardon, it's the last thing Biden does as president.
