Because we don’t cover for corrupt politicians just because of their party affiliation.

“Just because someone pleads guilty does not mean they are guilt”

In General Flynn’s case that’s true, but seems like Hunter could have easily proved innocence as long as he kept good records. It’s not like he couldn’t ask for help from his father.

It’s just that the DEMs get away with much bigger crimes. He’d get more sympathy if he owned up to his crime, instead of mentioning his kids.

Just a few minutes ago, a radio news report mentioned that his wife already pled guilty earlier this year.

I never said he wasn’t guilty. I read the initial indictment when it came out. It seems his idiot wife treated his campaign contributions as her personal piggy bank. My problem was with the posting history of a particular FReeper who has a tendency to only post negative news about Trump and other Republicans. I don’t like frauds on this site, and neither should any conservative.

It’s his son, Jr. that is pleading guilty. Sr. retired long time ago.

Duncan, for heaven’s sake, at least get $120 million in exchange for 20% of our nation’s uranium deposits, if the idea is to pull a stunt! For heaven’s sake...

Folks, I don’t defend wrong doing. I like Hunter and I’m sad to see it come to this. What he is charged with here isn’t 1/100th as bad as the things we know Clinton did.

This pains me, not so much for Hunter getting called on something wrong, but when it is compared to what Clinton did...

Where is the justice involved with her antics?

Best objection Blood... My concern is we don’t democrat corruption as much as we should, but seldom miss a story on Republican corruption.

DemocRat corruption is so common it is hardly newsworthy.

Just damn! At least Duke was shooting for the stars with his corruption. This petty crap Hunter spent campaign $$ on was just stupid. Still corrupt, but inexplicably stupid.

BTW, great seeing here, Mr. Skinner!
