Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

From what I can tell he is being prosecuted because he bought a gun when he was also taking pictures of himself smoking crack. Like most criminal types he is a real brain trust.
they had a plea deal that.. politics intruded on... causing Hunter to decide to change his plea
Basically, this is the kind of charge that sees almost no major consequences for and is usually plead out to something like probation or a fine, but partisan hacks decided to try and make a name for themselves.
The charges that Hunter Biden is being tried for are also never prosecuted without there having been an incident resulting in a "primary" charge.
I am not saying there isn't politics involved, all I am saying is he was smoking drugs and bought a gun. The frequency of prosecution does not change the fact that it's against the law. If I am not mistaken, I am often mistaken so correct me if I am, he took pictures of himself doing drugs that have landed him in this particular circumstance. The question was "Is Hunter Biden being prosecuted because of politics?" The way I see it politics is a causal factor, not the root, the root is he wasn't smart enough to put the camera down when he smoked his dope and created a paper trail by buying a gun that then allowed for some partisan hacks to make a name for themselves.
And they had a plea deal in place. That got upended when said political hacks decided to make a name for themselves and change it.
It was (mostly) apolitical, and then it became a thing. The current prosecution is entirely political.
