I mean, Graham's a piece of shit, but he's right. The gun shit shouldn't even be a crime (shall not be infringed), but tax evasion (while usually based, should be called out severely if you're a political family.) If anything, I'd criticize Graham for not going after the blatant political corruption; that puts both the gun and taxes charges to shame, and is the real dangerous crime of Hunter's.
While you could argue he should be held accountable under existing laws for the guns, drugs, and taxes, they're really not a big deal. The corruption is though.
Honestly, the whole 'charge hunter with the very least of his degenerate, perverted, and corrupt crimes,' so the media can proclaim how fair and balanced everyone is, and how no one is above the law, is a massive fucking L for the Republicans. I'd rather Hunter not be charged at all, than on this bullshit. It just gives them more ammo to go one of two directions; political persecution (the irony, but they run the media and libs will lap it up), or use it to justify and validate the prosecution of Donald Trump.
I despise Lindsey Graham, but he's right on this one; nothing good comes from this.
I disagree. It's the closest thing we have to giving the left a taste of their own medicine. You're right that the gun shit shouldn't be a crime, but as long as it is we shouldn't hesitate to use it as a bludgeon against our enemies, just like they're inventing crimes to go after Trump in New York. This shit won't end until we turn the left's tactics back on them.
But it won't give them a taste of their own medicine. All it does is show the reason that people on the right cannot win: they have not, and do not take the threat of the left controlling the public narrative seriously enough.
That's from the article. Every single article that you will find on this, that isn't written specifically from some right-wing affiliated news source is going to have something in it doing the exact same thing: coloring the trial, and putting that seed in the average person's head that, "See? The right are just abusing the courts. They are doing this because Trump was "brought to justice!".
No one will ever give the left "a taste of their own medicine", comeuppance, whatever, until the left's control of the narrative is dealt with seriously.
The media of the right only reaches those already firmly on the right. For everyone else - the shitbag left, and those in the middle - that same shitbag radical left has near total control of what they hear, what they don't hear, and how they hear of it. Whenever the right tries the "turnabout is fairplay" angle, they are going to get bit.
