It's not even that. His crimes were super minor. The literal misdemeanor tax shit would never be criminally prosecuted if he were a regular person.
And the other crime was owning a gun while being a drug user. Who fucking cares? The country is full of people who both own guns and use drugs. First time I've ever heard of actual legal consequences for that. Anyone else and the conservatives would be fighting for his gun rights.
Drugs, hookers, and influence peddling. GOP staples.
To be honest, it's the potential influence peddling that concerns me - it mostly seems like "my daddy is Biden - money please" that didn't go far, but if there's something to that, he should definitely face consequences.
