As far as Roger Stone being treated "better", their cases are quite different and I don't think there's a basis for comparison.

I didn't say that. What I was trying to get at (and you still fail to understand) is that tax crimes are generally discovered by IRS who refers them to DOJ. DOJ doesn't start out with a blank slate and flip through peoples' tax returns looking for tax crimes to prosecute. Same goes for environmental crimes (referred by EPA) or manslaughter cases resulting from unsafe working conditions (referred by DOL). As for Roger Stone's tax case, it had absolutely nothing to do with Crossfire Hurricane nor his relationship with a State Dept source as you asserted.
Meanwhile, the GOP is deadset on significantly reducing tax enforcement by the IRS and, coincidentally, pushed a case to the Supreme Court that formed the basis for a
federal court decision in Oklahoma that deemed the provision of federal law prohibiting gun ownership by drug users unconstitutional.
So, interestingly, the two crimes that Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to are crimes that the GOP generally does not want enforced (unless the miscreant is Hunter Biden).
