Thanks! You're not alone in your opinion of him.
I've since done a little reading about him and by all accounts he was/is brilliant. Shame so many people use their smarts for fuckery.

I don't see him as brilliant. The establishment presents him in that light, just as they do with other "luminaries" that represent elite interests, Alan Greenspan being a good example.
His intelligence is well above average, but that alone doesn't equate to brilliance. What he does have is tremendous influence, and if you have the right pedigree and a shit ton of money you can purchase it.

I was just going by what I read about him. I know little to nothing about the man, I recognize his name of course, but that's about it. I knew you'd give me the scoop.

He's a man of great stature to many among the pundrity. I've never had the chance to sit down and talk to him, obviously, but I did watch an interview with Charlie Rose about 15 years ago and wasn't impressed.
Is he exceptional when it comes to Machiavellian machinations? I would say no, but he is certainly a man who thinks critically and knows how to leverage influence.

pretrial diversion agreement means no prison.

That's right and when he fulfills the agreement it's my understanding it wipes out the felony.

The 5 year investigation of Hunter Biden was done by people trump appointed to do so while he was POTUS and he's not taking it well.

Why are you happy Hunter did not get the punishment you or I would have gotten?

What normally happens when someone pleads guilty to misdemeanor tax charges? No one gets pretrial diversion agreements?

I know, I read the charges. So a pretrial diversion agreement is a new thing?

It's great having a name you can cash in on. Helps to pay for the amenities.
Which reminds me, is Trump an adderall junkie?
