I had a brother who was an accessory to a crime at 17 and went to prison for three years at 18, and that experience makes me viscerally angry that Hunter Biden is going to skate just because he’s a member of the lucky sperm club. This is bullshit.
I don’t think that’s going to be necessary after the SCOTUS ruling on official presidential actions.
