I think it's interesting how Trump cultists have been screaming for months that the DoJ should leave their guy alone, and look into Hunter Biden instead.

Turns out, they have been looking into him, and Hunter's going to enter a guilty plea. Because the DoJ can conduct multiple investigations simultaneously.

Sooo... Trump supporters should be happy now, right? Everyone can shut up about the Trump investigations being witch hunts?

Its particularly interesting that Hunter got nabbed for evading taxes (technically failing to pay on time, but I suspect he wouldn't have paid at all if the IRS didn't enforce it.)

I bet all those Republicans who voted to gut the recent increase in funding for the IRS will never understand the irony.

I TOTALLY expect that to happen

God I wish. Talking to my parents about it all like last weekend over fathers day. They call the Biden's the "Biden Crime Family". Claiming Biden got rich from using his influence to be bought out by Ukraine and China. Makes no sense, why would Biden sign the CHIPS Act if he was bought out by China?

So many holes in the conspiracy theory......but they flat out refuse to hear anything else.

Everyone know Ukraine and China are BFFs.

Yeah but hes getting charged with owning guns and dodging taxes, both things that conservatives love!

Oh trust me, they feel vindicated that they knew the truth all along about that slimeball hunter. See they're 100% on top of things.

And I say great - no side is above the law. If you have the evidence show it in court. Huffing and puffing on social media and news outlets is just for show.

The wheels of justice grind slow, but grind fine.
