Carlson noted how none of the charges have to do with influence peddling - including Hunter's alleged role as an international bag man for the Biden family (alleged, of course), which included a $10 million payment from Burisma to Hunter and Joe Biden, according to an FBI source.

"Investigators had 'identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies, while Joe Biden served as Vice President and after he left public office.'"

"So actually there was something there. It was a scandal," Carlson said. "Racketeering, money laundering, wire fraud. Those are some of the crimes the Bidens seem to have committed."

Watch:

"Donald Trump had an idea, 'they'll hit Hunter with something small to make their strike on me look fair.' Trump wrote that about two weeks ago," said Carlson. "And it turned out, those were prescient words. This morning, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to pretty much nothing. Biden pleaded to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges and then entered a diversion on a federal gun charge. That's it. As far as Merrick Garland's justice department is concerned, Hunter Biden is done. There was no pre-dawn raid carried live simultaneously on CNN, there was no perp walk, no handcuffs, no press conference."
