Lets take them in turn:

The decision to not have charged Hillary or Huma for classified material but to charge trump but not Biden.

We've talked about this at length on this board - I don't know if you followed those discussions or not. But the reason neither Hillary or Huma or Biden were charged "for classified material" is because their behavior did not violate any criminal statutes - and Trump's did. There's no crime in the books as general as "for classified material" - people can only be charged if they do (or do not do) very specific things with classified material. Trump committed acts that violate a specific criminal statute - he refused to return classified information that he initially lawfully had in his possession upon the request of the federal government. Hillary, Huma, and Biden did not.

The decision to raid Mar Lago but not Bidens garage

Again, the decision to raid Mar A Lago stems from the fact that the government: i) had proof that classified documents were there; ii) had requested those documents; and iii) were lied to and told there were no documents present. None of those factors were present in Biden's garage.

The decision to allow the statute of limitations run out on Hunters tax charge
The decision to all Hunters tax evasion to not be prosecuted (so much for everyone paying their fair share)
The decision to attempt to get a sweetheart slap on the wrist deal while others have gone to jail for the degree of Hunters
tax evasion


None of those are particularly unusual. More than 40% tax fraud offenders don't get jail time. Hunter's got many of the characteristics that would lead to sentencing on the lighter side: he repaid the amounts owed, he had no prior convictions, and he pled out. Combine that with having a lot of financial resources to fight prosecution (there certainly is a difference in outcomes in the criminal justice system if you have money, versus if you're impovershed) and this is not that unusual an outcome.

There's no reason to believe that Hunter Biden's getting any different a deal than a Donald Trump, Jr. would have gotten in 2019 if he had a tax fraud charge that he pled out, with no priors and full repayment, and the financial ability to fully lawyer up.

The attempt to get a pardon for Hunter for all past as well as any future crimes he may commit.

I think you're using "pardon" incorrectly, in place of immunity. Note that the DOJ refused to give that to him, and vigorously disagreed - in open court - that that's what the deal actually meant.
