He simply said "yes I am guilty"
A straight-forward grown up attitude. No deflecting, gaslighting, threatening, ubfuscating 'woe is me, I am a victim, witchhunt ....' ad nauseam - he could teach the orange man-child a thing or 2.
Hunter's main mitigating factor is the incredible amount of tragedy in his family, i feel. As presidential families go, only the Kennedy clan has fared worse. 3 members of his close family died in front of him. Firstly his mum & sister, when they were young. Then his brave army brother died of brain cancer.
That's enough to mess up anyone's head. Not an excuse, just a reason. He's only human.
In deciding his punishment, I hope empathy prevails.
I have to agree entirely on the way Hunter co-operated, accepted his guilt, showed remorse and brought the matter to a swift conclussion instead of dragging things out.
Mind you it's not hard to see why Trump is acting as he does, he has a brigade of suckers willing to reward him financially and politically for being a dick when it's obvious to a blind man he's as guilty as sin and he knows he will either be treated leniently or, at the very worst, will live as rotting cabbage (his cognitive decline is so obviously far advanced that I don't think he will make it as far as Jan 20th 2025 without shitting his pants, literally not metaphorically, live on TV) in a facility designed to make him as comfortable as possible.
BTW I don't just mean shitting his pants like he did in that cabinet meeting General Flynn talked about, I mean worse than even that
