      But cool part would be if Hunters charge was deemed unconstitutional but Trump’s was upheld.

        If Hunter is charged, then Trump should be as well. If Hunter is dropped, then Trump’s should be as well.

        I thought there was supposed to be a Statute of Limitations issue on the Hunter case, but still…fairs fair.

          As I understand it, Hunter didn’t answer the question correctly on his gun purchase. Not checking the box on drug use. Though this is against the law, a district court’s already deemed it unconstitutional.

          Trumps is a straight federal code violation.

          Different situations completely. Hunter did not accurately fill out a form. Trump is under federal indictment.

          Thank Christ this isn’t how our legal system works. These are two different cases, and they’re not linked in any way.

      No that’s not how it works. You see, the milquetoast AG Garland has to look non-political by actually being political and not charging Trump, but only charging Hunter Biden.
