#9 There is one silver lining - the evidence to date strongly suggests Hunter committed tax fraud as far back as 2014; there's no statute of limitations on fraud, so Trump or DeSantis can go get him in a few years.

#11 The Hunter plea deal is predicated on there being no other charges in the pipeline. It wipes the slate clean for most stuff because the Feds are in the possession of all the evidence on the laptop. If it is covered on the laptop, it gets wiped out by the plea, otherwise his lawyers will claim a piece meal prosecution. That is my non-lawyer understanding.

#12 All it takes is a federal judge ruling the plea bargain was made in bad faith. If the SCROTUS upholds such a determination, it's off to the races.

#13 Many are finally noticing that there are lots of powerful people who are, in fact, above the law. It's just that you aren't one of them!

#15 ^ 12 that is my hope. At that point it will begin to look like Mogadishu politics.
