The plural of anecdote is not data. One outlier doesn’t change a decades long trend. (They say that a lot with climate change, where one cool summer doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, and one cool day definitely doesn’t mean it isn’t happening)

Hunter was actually about to get away scot-free, and it was only because his counsel did something so unimaginably egregious as directly defraud the court by sending a fraudulent email purporting to be from the state prosecutor to get an inconvenient piece of data removed from the record.

Every other data point until now says that any time this crime family is caught doing something bad the entire global establishment is there to bail them out including dropping charges that would stick for anyone else, hundreds of intelligence officials signing a letter claiming a true piece of evidence was faked by Russia, impeaching a sitting president for just mentioning it to another president, and overall the media and the police and the courts giving them sweetheart deals to keep any consequences from happening.

It’s crazy how a political party that sees privilege in Appalachian trailer parks magically goes three monkeys when it’s a former vice president’s son.
