    You know those scenes in a spy movie where the bad guys start torturing the hero, but he just takes it? Then they threaten the hero’s family and he immediately concedes. “Joe, just announce that you won’t seek a second term, and I’m sure we can find a pre-trial diversion program for Hunter.”

      Prosecution should have kept the plea deal. They probably won’t be able to secure an actual conviction because they don’t have shit on Hunter Biden.

      He used drugs and owned a gun? Ok…

      He didn’t pay $100k in taxes but then actually did go back and pay it? Ok…

      Who the fuck goes to jail for that? Nobody.

      On the other hand. Broadly gestures toward Trump family and associates
