    Because he’s the Democratic presidents son. The Republicans need to attack the president who isn’t a Republican in any way they possibly can instead of helping the nation.

      He’s a privileged rich person and tax evasion is confirmed as a crime that needs to be enforced on the rich. Is he getting dragged down bc of politics? Yes, does that mean he should get away with crime, no absolutely not?

        Well one major point of the western justice system is supposed to be that the law applies to everyone equally. Now that’s certainly not the case for rich people and I’m all for that to change. But this change needs to be done for the whole rich people class. Using political power to only force it upon one person for obvious political reasons is not justice. Especially when you can be sure that the people calling for a harsh punishment for him almost certainly have evaded taxes as well.
