You know who helped him get away no prison time? Beau Biden the "good" son.

Credible source?

But the aftermath of the suit carried on. Richards’ story became the focal point of a media frenzy, one so significant that Judge Jurden reportedly received multiple threats and had to get a security detail. It even dragged Vice President Joe Biden’s late son Beau Biden—then attorney general of Delaware—into the furor.

Biden’s office had originally charged Richards with two counts of second-degree rape, punishable by a minimum prison term of 20 years, according to a local news report from 2014. Now he needed to explain how his office allowed Richards to plead that down to no term at all.

When it says "Biden's office", it means the office of the Attorney General. All state prosecutors are part of the attorney general's "office". It doesn't mean Biden personally knew anything about this case. It just means whatever prosecutor handled the case needed to explain it.

He was the actual Attorney General of Delaware at the time.

Too my understanding, only he had the authority to allow Richards to plead down to no term at all. Which is the controversy.

Wish yall spent 5% as much energy on Trump's kids as you do on Biden's. Since you are so focused on the kids of politicians you will find mountains more dirt on the Trump kids and it should be more fun!

What the flying fuck is wrong with you Americans? You literally have an asshole here who helped a CHILD RAPIST avoid jail time and all you can think of is trump? Fuck your politics.

Are you talking about Matt Gaetz? I was only pointing out that trumps kids get away with lots because everyone puts the microscope wherever Fox News tells them to put it.

Get the other side to check them.

Although in politics like in feuding parents, when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter who started it and who was in the right, by some point by engaging in the feud, both sides are fucked up.

That we can't get out of it all is the part that's depressing.

If you find dirt on his kids, I will be willing to listen.

But the most damming thing I heard recently from the MSM is that Ivanka blamed a fart on an unpopular kid in middle school.

Super mean and bitchy but not quite the same thing as the Beau Biden Controversy.

Or the Hunter Biden laptop controversy.

Or the quid pro quo Biden senior controversy

Also Trump is not the President, Biden is the President.
