That's the genius of '3 felonies a day' ( but muh exaggeration!). Hunter Biden is next. Nevermind that probably 10% of HN breaks federal law by possessing weed, and probably another 5% are guilty of serious felony 5+ yrs in jail for simultaneously also living in a house where grandpas shotgun is sitting in a safe somewhere 100 ft from their dimebag of weed. I hope the people cheering this are aggressively prosecuted for every single crime they've committed. Cuz justice.

This is about Trump and his crimes, not some abstract HN felon.

  As someone who despises Trump and Biden and generally can see the election horse race from a somewhat dispassionate view, it seems nakedly obvious that aggressive prosecution of record keeping here is raw political selective prosecution as is the interest in Biden's dumpster gun.

    And Al Capone was brought down on tax fraud. Ideally, all are equal before the eyes of the law. But if there be inequality, better the burden to follow the law more closely be upon those with more power and more aspiration, not less. Sic semper tyrannis

      Is Hunter Capone? Federal prohibited drug user with firearm with no aggravating factors is unicorn prosecution territory. I guarantee 5+% of HN is guilty of this due to weed but it's almost never prosecuted unless as a tack on for some other serious shit. It's naked political attack on the Bidens.

        Hunter, as far as I know, does not have any particular power or ambition for political office. But frankly, I'm not against him being brought to justice for breaking the law either. We have let politicians become too comfortable bending the law to serve their selfish ends; if pinning down Hunter for every law he broke sends a message to the rest that their station can no longer protect their families from the scrutiny of Justice, so be it.

I know. What kind of dystopian fascist nightmare do we live in where falsifying business records to hide the hush money you paid to silence your mistress during an election is even a crime?

  Basically every business falsifies their records, and sure especially Trump. When Trump was apolitical and being a corrupt businessman this didn't happen, now magically that he is politically active suddenly the felony charges bust out. He's a criminal sure, but selective prosecution to undermine democratic process destroys democracy and undermines equal application of law. If he was pursued this aggressively before his campaigning when he was doing the same illegal corrupt shit it would look a lot less political.

    Trump is a criminal... but prosecuting him for crimes he actually committed according to the evidence and a jury of his peers... destroys democracy? Sure, Jan.

      Yes, that is my argument. Selective prosecution with political motives is anarcho tyranny.

        But it's not selective. Because someone finally prosecuted him. Letting him get away with it because he's rich and because he's running for president while locking up others for lesser crimes would be selective prosecution. If we can't even convict trump how can anyone in our society trust the rule of law?

>Hunter Biden is next. Thank fuck he's not running for election then, and if he did commit crimes then lets see them brought to trial.

  I mean if you're running for office and your junky kid gets federally indicted as prohibited person with firearm, something probably 5+% of the populace is unwittingly guilty of due to using pot and being in a house where a gun exists somewhere but basically all but never prosecuted despite being a damning 5+ yr prison charge. The implications aren't too hard to figure out. Some peaceful junky trashing a gun getting federally prosecuted like this is like double lottery ticket winner territory, except it ain't bad luck. It looking more like politics.
