What regular Joes? My knowledgeable live in America friend has said here that no one would have been charged with this crime if their name was not Biden, so there can't be any regular Joes to compare his sentence with.

The jury were regular Joe's who believed he was guilty

So, justice prevailed against Hunter just as it did against dump?

In both cases Trump and Hunter, I believe the name of the defendant played a part

These 2 are cases normally overlooked but to make a political statement both were high profiled

Does it? Sorry, but do you live in the United States of America?

I must ask because I'm told only those who live in America are intelligent enough to know if the system works or not in America.

There are multiple layers that catches corruption

It's like a layered defence in depth approach where if one fails one gets it

The system overall still works that's why we are not a banana republic yet

@budaatum, it took a lot of time but now the West has grown some balls and lifted the restriction from Ukraine to hit inside Russia.

You should ask the West why it took them so long.

Perhaps its because they did not have enough weapons yet considering they were not prepared for war.

Go study the Hitler War. It took the West a long time to attack Hitler's Germany too. In fact, Britain waited until Hitler had occupied France all of most of Europe, and was just across the Channel before they attacked Germany.

The last few days have been me arguing that the United States is not a banana republic so they can't get away making 4 black votes equal 1 white vote, but I've been informed that I am ignorant and don't know what I'm talking about because I don't live in America, so, sorry, I don't believe you.

Who are they not considered extremist by? You?

I consider them murderers, which I think is far worse than considering them extremists. Unfortunately, I don't get to make the laws in Pakistan. If I did make the law in Pakistan, and if they were tried and found guilty, I'd make sure their penalty is death too. And not because they killed a Christian, but for the simple fact they killed a human being.

Well, you can see children involved in killing a man.
In Palestine, they are always innocent even if they have held guns before their 10th bday and waged war on Israel. when they get to 16 to 19 and die in the war while carrying RPGs they will be recorded as innocent children. that's not to say innocent children are not dying, they are. War is shit.
people with this belief that you will die if you are seen as blasphemous are in the UK. it is just a matter of time when they feel they have the numbers.

Only my personal bias would make me believe what you believe.

While Hunter's case is straight forward guilty, dump should have been imprisoned just for his contempt and stupid antics during the trial, and it was his past position that saved him.

they have the weapons, but they restrict their use. the restriction was Ukraine only use them inside Ukraine, which was a waste of time and money. All those weapons they have been giving to Ukraine were a waste. if they did the right thing from the start, the war should have ended by now, who knows?

this scenario is different. we are talking about the survival of Ukraine here. Hitler overran nations before Britain entered. they should learn from that and not allow Russia to overrun Ukraine from the get-go. Now it will be difficult to retake the grounds Russia took.

Of course. But because the system still working well,his plea deal was thrown out of the window.

So when you people want to talk about weaponisng the DOJ,I hope you can look yourself in the mirror and see your hypocrisy.

Anyone found guilty should have his day in court.

Be you a Former President or the Son of a sitting president

I keep going back and forth with Budattum about the dangers of right wing propaganda. Because it infiltrates the system.
I'm not calling you out but this is an example.
The point of Justice wearing a blind fold is that Justice should be meated out fairly and without favor.

So, if you look at the plea deal, it was actually HARSHER than anyone else would have gotten.
But Republicans politicized it and made the Trump appointed prosecutor backtrack.

How do we know it was harsher, we can easily compare comparable cases.
This gun case is rarely if every charged without an underlying crime.
The Tax case is rarely charged criminally if people pay back their taxes.
These aren't subjective statements, they can be objectively verified by going back and looking at similar cases.

But Republicans politicized it, propagandized with the "sweetheart deal" verbiage. And good people repeat it and believe that he was in fact getting a sweetheart deal when he wasn't.

Here is Trey Gowdy, no friend of the Biden's, who was a Prosecutor on this.

See,I understand your point. For and against.

However if the parties involved are not okay with the judgement there is a chance for an appeal isnt it?

Cool.

But the fact that the son of a sitting president can be found guilty on crimes he committed is a good one. This can only happen in the united states' of America.

We hope in Nigeria,the son of a sitting president,EG Seyi Tinubu can be tried too of crimes he committed.

If he didn't commit any crime,you know there is nothing to charge him with.

We in Nigeria would love us to experience such justice system,But hey,Back home,out justice system is for the highest bidder

the ones burning and threatening people, Rioting, burning churches, Courts, police departments, etc. are not MAGA. the thing is, even the Vice president and the other politicians support the rioters. they even ask them to confront Judges and politicians. MAGA are not the ones doing all that.

Well, don't vilify the ones who do then.
We saw how Europe voted, the Media is calling them Far Right. in France, the left is rioting because they did not like the result.

This whole thing is a non-sequitur. I honestly don't even understand what this means. Let's leave alone the usage of the term "banana republic". People have somewhat contorted the meaning. The rule of law is determined by what the law is. At a point the constitution said a black person was equal to 3/4 a white person. Was that a "banana republic" based on what I think ur usage is?

The plea deal wasn't thrown out because he's a Biden. Judge saw through the diversion agreement in the plea deal. It was meant to immunize Hunter from any other crimes, tax evasion, compliance to acting as unregistered FARA agent etc. Which Congress is bringing up in referrals to DOJ because Hunter is still unindicted for acting for foreigners without registration.
Flynn and Manafort were strung along with FARA. Hunter, nothing yet despite proof of selling out it America to foreigners.

I agree with this sentiment and I think that's the reason why Biden is so determined to show that the RULE of LAW works by saying he won't pardon his son.

He did commit a crime. And he was found guilty of it. But normally the Justice system works to advance Social policy. And brings cases to do such. The Justice system spent millions of dollars to convict an addict of having a gun for 10 days based on the fact he wrote a book to help others and called the police to report the gun his sister threw away What policy goals does this serve?

And we haven't talked about how this treats one person differently than others. Weed is a controlled substance. So technically millions of Americans who smoke weed and own guns should be facing criminal charges as well like Hunter Biden.

This was an overzealous prosecution.

This was an overzealous prosecution.

The guy was clearly guilty. Recap.. not happy because he has not been charged with FARA violations.

Every claim of the defense seemed to collapse in the first two days of the trial. The defense argued that Hunter did not check the box on the gun form, so the prosecutors called the employee who watched him fill out the form. It claimed he was not using drugs at the time, so the prosecutors read texts from the next day in which Hunter sought to buy crack and called a series of witnesses on his continual use of crack during the period. The defense previously claimed the laptop showed evidence of tampering, so the prosecutor called a FBI agent establishing that there is no evidence of tampering and that the laptop is authentic. The defense claimed that Hunter just wandered into the store and was pressured to buy a gun, so prosecutors called an employee who testified that Hunter came in specifically wanting to buy a gun. As previously discussed, the lack of a defense is becoming glaringly obvious as is the nullification strategy.

President Biden's statement on his son's conviction.

"As I said last week, I am the president, but I am also a dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today,” he said.

The younger Biden, a 51-year-old Yale-educated attorney and lobbyist turned visual artist, has admitted to struggling with addiction for decades. His father said he can relate to the “many families who have had loved ones battle addiction” and he shares “the feeling of pride” at seeing a relative “come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery” after overcoming alcohol or drug dependency.

The president added that he ”will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process” while his son considers whether to appeal the conviction.

He also said he and First Lady Jill Biden “will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support.”

“Nothing will ever change that,” he added.

The only other thing he didn't say and which I wish he had said is, "no one is above the law".

Marijuana is illegal federally. This was a federal prosecution. Hunter lied on a federal gun form. So, anyone who smokes marijuana should be prosecuted just as Hunter was. That is the point CNN is making.

Most see a difference between a schedule 1 drug marijuana and schedule 2 drug crack cocaine, so I don't see the point of the false equivalence.

And nor do I accept the argument that he was charged only because of whom he is, since the same argument can be made for dump's conviction in NY, which CNN conveniently did not make at the time, and even for Bobrisky's conviction in Nigeria.
