Traffic ticket violations seems more serious than this 😂

Why would you take a plea agreement when you have absolutely undeniable proof of guilt? This is supposed to be equal justice for all? Total B.S.& the whole world can see that it is a 2 tier justice system

[TheNachoman]

So they charged him, and he pleaded guilty.

Trump can do that too. That's how the justice system works.

This only took five years. I wonder if the rest of us can get a deal like that. Swindle the taxpayers of millions in unpaid taxes through tax evasion. And, have a felony gun charge dropped to the slap of the wrist? While they have turned untold legal gun owners into overnight felons with their last take your guns bill. And, denied disabled veterans their constitutional right to carry a gun they can actually use. Nothing like a good swift smack on the wrist.

Being forced to report on what has been labeled conspiracy theory and hidden from the public must be very humbling.

[mckatelynchristensen]

Didn’t he extort millions of $ and layer them in over 20 shell companies and not pay taxes on that then he lied on a fire arm application which is normally a felony by itself. Sounds like he’s really being held responsible with those two misdemeanors

[youknowit.]

But I thought no one was above the law?

[TattooPEEL]

i did 8 years for the same crime nice to be the son of a b

[Gdwin]

My question is how many Americans are locked up for weapons, prostitution, and drug charges? Let that sink in when you defend this behavior.😢

[godfellas]

Make him explain the millions in wire transfers from adversarial countries. Did he pay taxes on those monies? What services did he perform? What did his other family members get the money for? He is pleading guilty to cover up the other crimes. Thats what crime families do.

Joe Biden just said, "I am proud of my son's accomplishments." WHAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS???

[jaycanales]

CBS COVERING THIS VERY VERY SURPRISED!!!!

[iouel]

TOTALLY A PRIVATE LEGAL MATTER, 2 Misdimeanor Tax charges and purchasing a gun with drugs in his system.

[bobbieforseth]

Perhaps they should also investigate a certain ex presidents son in law as to how he secured a personal wealth of billions of $ from saudi deals after taking all those trips on tax payers dime

[ronniekelting]

When you hide your head in the sand, You are leaving your hind end wide open to get kicked !!! This is not over !!!!

[tpblowu]

Why does this lady sound like there's a question mark after she makes a statement.

[davideberhart]

When he gets charged with Federal money laundering and Federal conspiracy to money launder, wire fraud, etc. at least he'll have a prior record. These just scratch the surface.

[sellsformoola]

Really, many have gone to prison for tax evasion.

[JamokeGuy]

Why is there no investigative into Jarred’s 2 billion + from the Saudis?

[mattfitzgerald]

Would Trump, still president, allow either of his sons to be charged with a crime?
