I love my son, hes on the straight and narrow and has been for a couple years now, and im so proud of him. Greg democrats are relieve that had hunters gun charges dont have anything to do with joe biden, yet. Syst we shouldnt take delighn other peoples misfortune but we have to have a rule of law and when people commit crimes, the consequences follow. The Justice Department charges have nothing to do with the president. Hunter biden is a private citizen and not the president of the United States.
