Opinion: Don't care about fake laws, crimes

Being political leads to unfortunate outcomes. Politics never makes people act smart.

I don’t think federal agents -- FBI or anyone else -- have any business digging for things over which to prosecute Hunter Biden. I don’t find federal agents credible.

When someone is targeted for political reasons, whether Donald Trump or Hunter Biden, it makes those targeting them look unintelligent and corrupt. Maybe because they are unintelligent and corrupt -- as bad as their target, or worse. All politically connected people have done things truly wrong, so why do their opponents choose to be political, too?

Because it’s easier.

I don’t care about Hunter Biden’s so-called tax crimes or gun crimes, no matter how clear the evidence may be. I have no love for the Bidens, but I don’t believe there is even one legitimate tax or anti-gun rule. Not one. Accusing someone of breaking one of those fake laws is completely pointless.

The same would go for charging him with drug crimes for the things he was seen doing on video.

People want to see those connected with the other side get what’s coming. The Trump-obsessed anti-Trumpers want to see Donald Trump hurt, just like the reactionary anti-Biden faction would love to see Biden hurt by targeting his son. Leave me out of your political circus.

The thing is, I only care about real crimes -- where an individual’s life, liberty, or property has been violated. Trump, Biden, and every other former and future politician violates everyone in some way. Yes, even the president you like the best. If you’re going to go after them for something, look at these real crimes.

No, having “classified documents” isn’t real either, since government shouldn’t keep any secrets from its bosses.

I don’t care even a little what such laws say. Even if I wouldn’t do what someone else does, if the legislation is illegitimate -- as is all gun, drug, and tax legislation -- then I am not in favor of using it against anyone. Not even someone I think is clearly a bad person. If you can’t find a real crime with an individual victim, then back off. I’m not interested in using fake laws against anyone.

The root problem is allowing anyone to hold the office of president of the United States, or any political office, and wield its political power. Strike at the root instead of thrashing at the twigs by prosecuting illegitimate “crimes.”
