Good I guess. Kinda shocking to see so many well-connected people convicted felons but I will wait to see if they ever actually end up behind bars...

The potential sentence for Hunter Biden is up to 25 years in prison, but leniency is likely

Not likely, similar to Trump charges, jail time is not likely.
