FARA, of course, is the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which I wrote about extensively during the heyday of the Russia Hoax. Paul Manafort, famously, did some hard time when he was prosecuted under FARA. I won’t go through all of that again—you can
We're sick with a terminal disease. Hunter will only be prosecuted if the Powers That Be decide Biden has to go. If Zhou was anything close to competent they'd let H slide. DC is a disgusting clown-show cancer.
The handling of Podesta is exactly how FARA policy worked from its inception till the day I retired in 2006--and I'm sure for some years later. I won't argue one way or the other on what the policy should be, but even handed is a bottom line.
Too many federal + state pols, Media execs & judges at the trough to expect a just outcome here. We'll either see crazy in your face power gaslighting (the kind that gets a horse into the senate), no serious activity beyond letter writing among branches of gov't, or - stretching here - Zhou bales after handing out pardons. His group (DNC/DS/Media power elite) seems to be doubling-down. They are out of control, yes, but if they pull out of Ukraine and give Powell his choices, the compromise may be to declare "slate clean" and get back to stealing elections
Hunter won't be charged because he's a Democrat. You can lie, cheat, sell secrets, violate untold amounts of local, state, and federal law, and you will not be charged or prosecuted, if you are a prominent Democrat.
Yeah...sounds like a case for John Durham.

They will likely charge Hunter with a federal jaywalking charge to make it look like they weren't playing favorites.
Hunter should be charged, but won’t be. The only question is how he’s protected.
Tony Podestra belatedly filed a FARA and avoided prosecution, even though he did the same thing Manafort did.

The system is thoroughly corrupted.
Not if he’s a cooperating witness.
