That's nice. But since he wasn't elected and isn't part of the presidental cabinet why should anyone care?

I think the right-wing talking point is that Joe assisted Hunter with what he did, thus Joe is also a criminal, blah blah blah

I mean that's certainly spicy speculation, but until there's any actual evidence of it, we all have way more important things to care about.

the President has done some... questionable things, possibly criminal, depending on your ideological bent

what his kids do though? eh

How can a crime vary by ideology? Criminal implies legalities. How can your ideological point of view change whether or not a law was broken?

I mean. There's an entire Supreme Court dedicated to interpretting the USA's original "law", the Constitution. They recently reevaluated the meaning of Roe vs Wade. And each judge applies their own interpretation to laws in criminal cases, mostly bounded by prior rulings on the matter only to maintain consistency. Some times laws aren't so cut and dry.
