Donald Trump would have let his son off. Anybody would have, or at least most people. I understand that. That’s not the issue, sir.

That’s what I’m doing. You all kick rocks.’ That may were just right enough quantity for me. That’s your son. That’s your son, that’s your flesh and blood. That’s your kid.

“No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong. There has been an effort to break Hunter – who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.”

You’re announcing it now that we know Donald Trump is coming in and about to be sworn in as the 47th president. You were intending to do this all along, which again is no problem. But it doesn’t make you any less full of it,” he stated.
“Because when you look at Donald Trump and how the Democrats went after him … you do understand the Democrats are no longer in a position to say anything, right? You can talk till the cows come home. You whistling into the wind. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say right now. I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about your party.
“As a result of while you forgiveness your son, going again in your word of honour, telling the American family there was once incorrect approach you have been committing to forgiveness him, when everyone and your magnificent mama knew you have been mendacity and didn’t conserve you in control of it. And now you’ve showed what family believed you have been more than likely committing to be mendacity about that very factor that you just stated you wouldn’t do in your son. All you needed to do was once say, ‘He’s my son. I will’t let him advance to prison.’ What’s the topic with y’all?”
