4:23Now PlayingIt was announced on Tuesday the Hunter Biden had accepted a plea deal with the government on tax evasion charges, ending a 5-year investigation into the son of the President. And Donald Trump is apoplectic over this announcement. Trump got on Truth Social and raved like a madman about the Biden son getting what amounts to "a traffic ticket!" Republicans don't disagree, saying that Biden is getting special treatment, but that's because they don't understand how the law works, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

So yesterday it was announced that Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, is going to plead guilty to misdemeanor charges of tax evasion, uh, to basically conclude the five year long investigation that began under the Trump administration and was carried out. It should be noted by a Trump appointed US attorney that, of course, is still on the job. So this was an investigation brought to us by Trump, people carried out by a Trump person in its resulting in misdemeanor charges of tax evasion. Now, there's still the potential of the felony, uh, illegal gun possession charge, but based on what I've seen, if uh, uh, hunter Biden keeps his nose clean for the next two years, that charge will be dropped as part of the plea deal. If he gets in trouble again, they're gonna hit him with the felony and he is gonna go to prison.
But this plea deal is going to result in no prison time. So, of course, the fact that Hunter Biden is not going to jail has off every Republican in the United States. None more of course, than Donald Trump himself. After this news was announced, Donald Trump got on true Social and he said, quote, wow, the corrupt Biden d oj just cleared up hundreds of years of criminal liability by giving Hunter Biden a mere traffic ticket. Our system is broken hundreds of years of criminal liability. Like, what the hell are you even talking about, man? So, of course, like Donald Trump is gonna be mad about this because he's getting hit with felony charges, even though it's two completely unrelated things. And Donald Trump could have gotten away with all of it had he just worked out an agreement, listened to his lawyers, not Tom Fitton from the Judicial Watch group.
If he had just listened to his lawyers, given the documents back, filled out the paperwork, then gotten the documents back for himself, he wouldn't be in trouble. We honestly wouldn't even know the story existed. But I do have to give Trump a little bit of credit here because this is kind of what Trump predicted a couple weeks ago. He got on Truth Social and said quote, they'll probably come up with a jaywalking charge on Hunter in the not too distant future. You know, a very small charge. So they can say, well, it's fair, but there's a very unfair situation. We're living in a very, very corrupt country. Um, now the reason Donald Trump said that in an interview recently with, uh, uh, what's his face, Roger Stone, is because they knew it was gonna go nowhere. So Donald Trump isn't necessarily a profit in this particular instance. He didn't just guess correctly. They knew how pathetically weak these, you know, potential charges against Hunter Biden were, I mean, Trump's people are the ones who launched the investigation, so he would definitely know. So that's why he was trying to go ahead and, uh, you know, temper the expectations
Before the charges came out. But Trump's not the only one. Of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene got on Twitter and said that, uh, we are controlled by communists. What, what, whatever that's supposed to mean. I don't know how that's related to Hunter Biden, but okay. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican Speaker of the house said that Hunter should be given 10 years in prison and we're gonna see more and more Republican freakouts as the week goes on. They're.
