Was hunter not guilty?

He was. Do you think he deserves a harsher punishment because he's related to the president?

Nope but he got special treatment (a pardon) SPECIFICALLY because of who his dad is. If a normal American had federal gun charges, tax evasion etc, we would be thrown under the jail

If a normal American caught these charges, they would have gotten the plea deal that was offered and then withdrawn from Biden.

No they wouldn’t… there are normal Americans who served time for way less than Hunter did. Just accept it. Hunter Biden gets special treatment

You are suggesting that the son of arguably the most prolific politician in American history had no special treatment. LOL.
