A couple months ago the findings against Hunter Biden were nothing, not even worth taking to court, only under GOP pressure did the Trump appointed prosecutor take it to court. Now it seems like a big deal and 17 years (max). What happened? Why the change? Was new evidence found?

    From what I’ve seen by casually scraping news, evidence of massive corruption in the Biden family continues to be uncovered; I haven’t seen much in these comments about the juicy overseas dealings stuff, the other charges mentioned here are more small fry (but still worth prosecuting). I encourage you to look up the details of the situation yourself because you’re gonna get heavily biased answers from social media, especially since this is a political issue. I’ll probably catch flak just for saying that.

    A post from a couple months ago was asking something similar about all the Trump business; one commenter mentioned that it was because one better get everything right before one guns for the king, and it feels like a similar thing here.

      I love it when “crime family” is said because it shows how you’ve fallen for confusing charges against Hunter to be something against a whole family. It’s both lol worthy and cringe worthy.

        Maybe I misunderstood your question because I read it as referring to all charges made against him, and there’s definitely a corruption case building against both father and son here, which I assumed would fall under the scope of your question. But if you didn’t want to know that case was progressing then there’s been a miscommunication.

          There it is again. Conspiracy theories have duped you into thinking one person is the family.

            I can see here that whatever I say is gonna be misconstrued and strawmanned. I was trying to provide a helpful answer but it seems that’s not what is wanted here.

              You are literally trying to pin actions of one onto an entire family. You fell for conspiracy theories and logical fallacies.

      If your answer uses the phrase “Biden Family” I’m not sure I’d expect an unbiased answer.

        You’re correct, and I’m not going to say I don’t have a bias. But the result I wanted to produce is a more-informed perspective by encouraging people to do their own research, especially after asking a question in a forum where you’ll mainly get answers along the same line of thinking. The rest is just headlines.

          It seems these posts follow the reddit method. If you aren’t left leaning, you will be downvoted and shunned. No nuanced discussion. Only red v blue. I’m right, you are wrong.

        What’s a credible source(s) you’re going to believe and not just say that it’s propaganda for XYZ agenda? Sounds like your mind is already made up on this matter

      the juicy overseas dealings stuff

      You’re talking about the $2 Billion he got from the Saudis for selling Israel’s Defense Dossier, right?

        I hadn’t heard of that but if you’ve got a link to a sauce I’ll check it out.
