Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has reached a plea deal on multiple criminal charges. Those include misdemeanor tax offenses. The deal also resolves a felony charge for possessing a weapon as a drug user.
The charges ended a Justice Department investigation and a plea deal likely means the presidential offspring won’t serve prison time.
The news drew a range of reaction from Florida political leaders.
U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, a Naples Republican: “A slap on the wrist for Hunter Biden while ‘The Big Guy’ continues to hunt down his top political opponent. This doesn’t show equal justice. It’s a mockery of our legal system by a family that has no respect for our laws.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis: “Looks like Hunter received a sweetheart deal and is not facing any charges on the massive corruption allegations. If Hunter was not connected to the elite D.C. class he would have been put in jail a long time ago.”
Former President Donald Trump: “Wow! The corrupt Biden DOJ just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere ‘traffic ticket.’ Our system is BROKEN! … People are going wild over the Hunter Biden Scam with the DOJ!”
U.S. Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart, a Hialeah Republican: “Where is the Rule of Law?”
U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, a Naples Republican: “Like I said, when Democrats are investigated everything is slow-walked and it ends with a slap on the wrist. Don’t believe me? Just look at Hunter Biden. Three questions: 1. When does evading millions in federal income taxes get a slap on the wrist? (Ask Wesley Snipes); 2. Did Hunter Biden pay his fair share on those millions? (Thoughts, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?) 3. President Biden, where is YOUR $5M from Burisma?”
U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Fort Walton Beach Republican: “Hunter Biden was given a sweetheart deal to try to justify both the DOJ’s lack of interest in the Biden family’s corruption and the political prosecution of President Donald J. Trump. They’ve had the evidence that Hunter Biden lied when he purchased a gun for years now. Why did they wait until now to charge Hunter?”
U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a St. Petersburg Republican: “Pays to be a Biden if you’re under investigation with the DOJ.”
U.S. Rep. Greg Steube, a Sarasota Republican: “What a joke, what about the millions of dollars the Bidens laundered in foreign money for access to the ‘Big Guy.’”
Ken Cuccinelli, founder of the Ron DeSantis-supporting super PAC Never Back Down: “These meager charges are intended as a pressure release valve by #DOJ to avoid pushing on The Big Guy, Joe Biden. We need Ron DeSantis to clean up the DOJ mess!”
Christian Ziegler, Republican Party of Florida Chair: “The charges on Hunter Biden are a joke. He will plea, they will give him no jail time and if re-elected, his pops would pardon him. They just did this so Democrats could fake equal justice.”
Ron Filipkowski, Sarasota-based social media influencer and former Public Defender candidate: “MAGA is crying that Hunter Biden got a favorable plea deal by pleading guilty and accepting responsibility. But you can’t really complain when your hero isn’t (interested) in trying to negotiate a deal, denies all responsibility, and claims the government planted evidence.”

Correction:
We accidently left out perhaps the most wise political commenter in the last 200 years in the above article.
EARL PITTS AMERICAN: The Big Voice On The Right was quoted with the best response out of everyone so far when he so eloquantly responded with a bone crushing reply to the leftist legal treatment of the Biden Son.
And this is a direct quote from the revered Mr. Pitts.
“Diss Shizz Is Wack”.
The world just came to a grinding stop as everyone is shocked and awed at the pure “D” wisdom the powerfull World Leader, Earl Pitts American, was able to spit out and into the eyes of the left with just these four words: “Diss Shizz Is Wack”.
Sorry we accidently left you out Doctor Pitts.

Associated Press, November 2018: “The Chinese government granted 18 trademarks to companies linked to President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump over the last two months, Chinese public records show, raising concerns about conflicts of interest in the White House.
In October, China’s Trademark Office granted provisional approval for 16 trademarks to Ivanka Trump Marks LLC, bringing to 34 the total number of marks China has greenlighted this year, according to the office’s online database. The new approvals cover Ivanka-branded fashion gear including sunglasses, handbags, shoes and jewelry, as well as beauty services and voting machines.”
So it’s ok for Big Orange Guy and his family to use the family name to make money, right? But hey, you gotta hand it to them, if they can sell voting machines to China, they could sell matchsticks in hell.

Rick Scott talking about the treatment of Hunter Biden as “a mockery of our legal system” is a hoot. Rick Scott, founder and CEO of the Columbia/HCA company that conducted the biggest health care fraud in history while he was the Big Guy CEO. The company was fined $1.7 billion, a record at the time, and Rick? Rick? Rick? Oh, he was allowed to resign with a multi-million dollar parachute payout to help him make ends meet. Talk about a mockery of our legal system.

Trump DOJs’ five year investigation ends with Hunter Biden guilty pleas, but these GOPs still all whine whine whine whatabout whatabout whatabout. It was your investigation. If you don’t like the result, you should have done a better job. Or maybe there was nothing much going on there, gosh, what a surprise. How many times can the GOP spew nonsense and other GOPs fall for it? Oh I know this one! It’s …. Every. Single. Time.

Good afternoon America,
My, Earl Pitts American’s, phone has been blowing up because the Auto Bot referrered to me as Dr. Pitts. I guess I bettet bring you all up to speed. I, Earl Pitts American, recently received the Doctor of Jurisprudance degree from the renouned EPA Law School.
I have been asked by all the 2024 candidates to please consider myself, Earl Pitts American, as their first choice for any Supreme Court vacancy that comes open during their term in office. I, Earl Pitts American will be approved by a 100% plurality of both the house and the senate as I, Earl Pitts American enjoy a broad bi-partisan support unlike anyone, ever, in history.
Thank you America,

Plurality is not involved in approval of a SCOTUS nom, Earl. There’s only two choices, yeigh and neigh. Gotta have three choices for plurality to come into play. While there is “abstain” that is a non-choice, so it doesn’t count toward plurality. Thank you Earl, Don’t Se FLA

You received a degree from Trump University but that’s about it. Your professors were Mike Lindell and Alex Jones. Seek help for your schizophrenia and retardation.

To sum up Florida Republicans’ reaction: “WAAAAAAAAHHH! Hunter’s Laptop Hillary’s Emails Soros Benghazi Trump Elon Kanye WOKE WOKE WOKE!”
Follow-up questions were met with only drooling gibberish and sobbing.

drooling gibberish and sobbing, translates two possible ways and they’re both whatabouts:

It doesn’t matter if Hunter got off easy. He’s now cursed. As is their entire family. Nothing will ever be good with them again. And every single corrupt FBI CIA, etc..are cursed for their failures to prosecute these slimeball Bidens who sold out millions of hard working Americans for a few pennies in a moments time. Obama and Clinton cursed, too. They chose the wide path of destruction. Nothing but God’s wrath ahead of them. All of these evil people will bend a knee to Jesus. At the name of Jesus EVERY knee shall bow and every tongue SHALL confess JESUS IS LORD

Hunter Bidens story should be on DATELINE. This guy is a sociopath. Scumbag on a level we have never seen. EVIL> EVIL. EVIL. Joe Biden is a pathetic weak scumbag. His son is garbage. JILLY BIDEN IS ABSOLUTE SCUM. The bidens are now cursed FOREVER. Jill BIden is cursed for her willing weak stance allowing her husband to be taken by evil so she could be enriched. She actually gave up her own husband to evil so she could have temporary power fame and comfort. Oh, that won’t end wel.
was supposed to be his “helper” but she wanted the power and money so she went along with it all, and Joe and Hunter and all the rest of these disgusting pigs (don’t throw your pearls to swine) just sat there eating the handouts of the devil’s workers lapping it up like honey on a billion dollar bill, to their demise…they sold their souls to the lowest bidder…..instead of turning their souls to the highest bidder, aka. the LORD JESUS…yep…they chose the weak powerless scumbags of the world who force them on the wide road of destruction. They had their chance to turn…to repent, but they chose a temporary moment in time to enjoy riches and pleasures…to allow Hunter to attend sex parties to the tune of 75000 a year and have sexual pleasures with his niece at 15 while smoking crack and trafficking young girls from Ukraine while American blacks and others spend LIFE IN PRISON for far less. FU DOJ. FU Fbi. FU CIA. you all suck. EVERY MOVIE EVER MADE ABOUT THESE POS SHOULD BE BANNED. YOU ARE ALL WHO TURNED YOUR BACKS ON OATHS COMPROMISED POS WHO HAVE SOLD OUT THE USA. FU RESIGN AND K YOURSELVES. And God bless and keep those in the FBI CIA and DOJ and other agencies who know the right thing to do ..may GOD BLESS, prosper AND PROTECT YOU.
