The plea deal by Hunter Biden with federal prosecutors demonstrates that no one, not even the president’s son, can escape accountability. Now do the former president and his family.

@georgetakei So youd be ok if Trump got off on a plea deal too?
@freemo @georgetakei seems fair to me, if he was willing to plead guilty. But he didn't, at least not in the indictments so far.
Wellnplea bargins are reached before the plea. So they offer a generous deal that is garunteed if they plea guilty.
Was he offered a deal with no jail time or significant consequences for a guilty plea? As far as i know they made no such offer.
@freemo @georgetakei no idea. It's hard to picture Trump admitting guilt even if the offer was there, but I guess it's possible.
Here's what I could find about his pubic stance on the matter:
> Trump predicted he would not be convicted and said he did not anticipate taking a plea deal, though he left open the possibility of doing so “where they pay me some damages.”

So I guess he would plead guilty if DOJ paid him money, which sounds like a ridiculous stipulation to me. Anyway I don't see any immediate evidence of unfairness.
@strawd @georgetakei
Yea its certainly hard picturing Trump admitting fault.
I also have no reason to think Trump is treated unfairly in his trials. If anything i think Hunter Biden got off too easy.
