So now we know the laptop was not made up by Russia. Now what happens to all the other stuff on it

[fredfarbin]

So why aren’t you reporters calling him a CONVICTED FELON?

[MrBrownnn]

He’s not a child he’s 50 something years old…

[EntrepreneurwithRA]

Why aren't you calling him a Convicted

[blb]

"I never spoke to my son, or my brother, about their business Guy

[bartknies]

As the democrats are so proud to say NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW now deal with it

[bigron]

We know he won't spend a day in prison.

[MichaelWinkelman-rmhp]

Hunter has been a failure his entire life. Suspended from school for drugs, dishonorably discharged from military service from cocaine charges. Obviously he had no father figure in his life.

[klr-canary]

Now he needs to be charged with sex trafficking

[sabrinamcgarrah]

Cocaine in WH, ya recovery must be hard 😂😂

When is he going to jail? I have a friend that got caught with 3 Vicodin and an 8th of weed. They gave him 6 months. This clown Hunter probably won't even get community service. There's 2 legal systems and it's got to stop. They say nobody is above the law. Now that's a bunch of bullshit.

Put his ass in prison. The reason he's not worried about the verdict is because his daddy will get him out of it

[grahamshereston]

Hilarious how sympathetically ABC reports this compared to their treatment of President Trump!!!

[vindicatedrascal]

His family was not there to support him they were there to intimidate the jury

[davidvang]

Any American would be jailed already with a felony. LET'S GO BRANDON!!!

[Cluedin]

What decent father has his drug addicted son do his dirty work. Disgusting.

[chrisgunderson]

I'm more interested in his pay to play political bribery he facilitated for his father, "The Big

[Lisa]

Two words, enabled "self destruction". Dad assisted. Support "after" the train wreck rather than pulling him off of the tracks. Why?

[loganbryson]

Who cares about his family and how many were there. How about just focus on what actually matters and that he was found guilty for being a POS

[ilonacastro-sanchez]

Shame on you! A 50+ years old man who never has taken accountability of all his action a complete nsrcissist, what he needs is to taste what others like him has been gone through in jail man up and learn.
