12. There is only one thing that matters here.

The rest is either obfuscation, misinformation, misunderstanding, or flat out lies.

Hunter Biden was charged with lying about drug use on a form to purchase a gun. Literally millions of people do this every year. No one goes to prison for this alone.

Hunter Biden was charged with not paying his taxes in full. Before he was criminally charged he had paid his full tax bill, with interest and penalties. People are not imprisoned if there is no intent to evade taxes.

What matters is that Hunter Biden was criminally charged not because of lying on a gun purchase, or for evading taxes. He was charged because he was the son of a Democratic president.

It doesn't matter if you think that anyone who lies about drug use on a gun purchase form or who mis-states taxable income, even though the taxes were later paid should be imprisoned. In real life it doesn't happen.
