There's a lot of moving pieces and wider themes about pardoning and politicized prosecutions, but personally, having been through jail, and getting sober at a young age, the weakness and lack of responsibility for someone like Hunter Biden is just weak to me. I read his memoir. I read the indictments. He did that shyt. He admits all of it.
1) plead it all out and take your shyt like a man, tell the judge, I fukked up, but I take full responsibility.
2) Wasting everyone's time taking it to trial, humiliating your family, just take your sentence like a man. The judge is in LA. It's a reasonable district. It's not some madman in New Orleans, some state court bullshyt. Trump isn't in office yet. Just take the time. He was probably going to do like 8 months. Maybe even nothing.
Understand that the norms and codes of someone in his socioeconomic position is different than mine, but it's just p*ssy shyt to me. He's not going to be broke, he's not going to die. Just admit what you did and go handle it.
