66. I think the comparison is very useful, if hypocritical and false. It makes is much harder for Trump and his MAGA cult

followers to accuse the Justice Department of favoritism and unjustly "targeting" Trump. I agree - under ordinary circumstances it would be a travesty. But these are not ordinary times, and the indictment and trial of Hunter for a real crime, no matter how insignificant in the big picture - particularly while his father is president - removes the power of totally bogus claims that Trump was railroaded by the Biden administration. Let the trial run its course, let the media conduct make their silly analogies, and keep our eyes on the real prize. The presidency.
