What's next?..Hunter gets a job at ABC or MSNBC

[RoadGlideST]

I have no record. If I got charged for the same things, I'd get 25 years.

[dianavaldez]

Hunter is not only an addict, he is a career criminal. He almost left no stone unturned with respect to his criminality. And the only reason Hunter went to trial was because last year the judge saw the sham way Weiss was trying to bury the gun charge as a diversion in a plea agreement and with immunity for any and all other crimes. Give me a break.

[BrandensOutdoorChannel]

He lied on his ATF 4473 and is a drug user!!! Lock him up! His dad is so anti-gun and Hunter can't follow gun laws!

[Trv-rm]

I am dissatisfied with our government’s performance. You should be held accountable.”

[markgarron]

They will not do a dam thing to joes golden child

[Sbxallday]

I'm curious if Hunter will be disbarred. Any lawyers out here?

[GruntMike]

Let me ask all you "journalists" do you think a normal person that did this same thing would be also not given any prison time? Do you think also the IRS and government would be cool if I do a bunch of shady "business" deals leveraging US influence to make millions of dollars and provided the top secret documents him and Joe had in their possession illegally would also be cool? I just want to know that if someone else did this you would totally support them and not call them a spy or traitor or I don't know want them in

[markwyattsr]

The gun wasn't used in a crime ??? just what is it when you take a " GUN " and have someone put it in a public trash can that ANY child can walk up to and take that gun ???? Seriously !!!

[Robert-Herman]

George asked, " Has anyone gone to prison for this?" No. But neither has anyone gone to prison for misdemeanor bookkeeping infractions.

[brucecampbell]

No one is above the law, unless you are an elderly man with a poor memory.

[juliemunoz]

Why would prison not be on the table? Any normal citizen would and HAS received a 10 yr. sentence and served 80% of that time because it’s federally mandated. They also wouldn’t have their daddy waiting in the wings waiting to pardon him.

[nilsnyman]

Any and everyone I've ever known or known about has gone to jail immediately after the word guilty was pronounced. Just saying. The corruption is no longer laughable it's disgusting.

[DavidKnizner-pxdm]

Hopefully a long jail term for the privileged little

[Explore_Traveling]

American citizens taxpayers money 💰 funding for other country future 😢 this is above the law 😢 wake up American citizens

[kevinjenner]

What’s next? His trial for tax fraud in California is scheduled for September.

[ln]

Good deal. But Why didnt they go after hunt with RICO charges. Which is a bigger crime.

[patriotamerica]

Hunter will appeal and will get the same outcome but then he'll get probation and a fine. That's it.

[SpaceCowboy-uj]

They shoulda did one of those:
“What’s next, Hunter?”

“I’m going to Disneyland!”
Ads as he came out of the courthouse.

[queenmommie]

What about the crack era everyone went to prison even the grandma's who had no knowledge of there children 's drug use hypocrisy full swing 😡
