Rapper Kodak Black’s lawyer decries ‘2 tiers of justice’ after Hunter Biden plea deal
NY Post ^

Posted on 06/21/2023 7:44:35 AM PDT by BenLurkin

Bradford Cohen, Black’s Florida-based attorney, decried Hunter’s apparent slap on the wrist, alluding to “2 tiers of justice” which he claims led his client to be sentenced to 46 months in prison for the same crime that President Biden’s son has been charged with.

“2 tiers of justice? Kodak was charged for the same crime. Got over 3 years. Mr. Biden will not serve a day. Feels right? Do FBI agents and federal authorities take cases personally?” Cohen wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

Black, a two-time Grammy Award nominee, pleaded guilty in 2019 to providing an incorrect Social Security number on a federal gun purchase form in order to buy three firearms from a Miami-area shop.

The attorney added that in his opinion, far less serious crimes have resulted in penalties that involve some sort of incarceration.

“Even in the case of paying off coaches to get their kids into college came with a prison sentence. One even got 2 weeks, even though she was scoring no jail time. The system was so petty that they made her surrender to a federal prison for 2 weeks! But in this case nothing,” a dismayed Cohen wrote.

Black was pardoned by former President Donald Trump on his final day in office.

The rapper was among the 73 individuals pardoned by Trump on Jan. 20, 2021. Another 70 people had their sentences commuted by the outgoing president.

This is the direction it needs to come from. And FORCE the Democrats, RINOs, and their 'media' lackeys to defend it.

And any similar gun convictions now need to be challenged in court.

As usual, the Dems have not considered the repercussions of their little plan.

What the Brits call, “Too clever by half.”

Minorities, their voter base, will be outraged that the white boy - Hunter, gets off scot free and they get multiple YEARS IN PRISON for the exact same crimes.

This will blow up in their faces.................

“The DOJ seems blind to the concept of setting precedents…”

And they don’t give a rats ass what us plebes think about it.

DOJ is completely blind to the true meaning of “justice.”

Hunter Biden’s “skating act” cries out for Republican action now.

Let us throw “Hunter Biden justice” straight into Joe Biden’s grinning fool face.
Foolish Joe Biden is sure Hunter is going to skate without consequences.

(a) taxpayers demand Congress pass a “corrective bill”
(b) reduce all penalties for tax fraud and gun application violations to Hunter Biden’s level
(c) release from jail anyone unjustly convicted of such crimes
(d) enshrine the “Hunter Biden Two-Tier Justice Correction Act” into US law.

Dems to Kodak: Shut up and get back on the plantation!

Meanwhile, blacks continue to vote Dem 110% to 120% of the time.

"Kodak" didn't say anything. This guy did.

Not sure what the relevance of his client list is.

Never knew Trump pardoned this guy. But now we see - he has a public ally, or at least a public foil, when a similar case of Biden corruption is swept under the rug by the deep-state and its media.

Just imagine what pardoning Assange could have done for him?

Its obvious Hunter got a sweetheart deal nobody else gets from the feds. Its equally obvious this was due to politics. The DOJ is massively corrupt and everybody can see it.

Trump needs to hammer the Democrats and the corrupt Establishment over the head with this....especially with Black and Hispanic voters. As a guy who has clearly been the victim of a political vendetta by the DOJ and Democrats, it has special resonance coming from him.

ie. He’s clearly legit. The Establishment is trying to take him out. Look at all the ways they’ve tried to get him that they never did to anybody else who was president or who ran for the office. They’re corrupt and they’re scared of Trump. What does that tell you? The same people who hate you and attack you hate him and are attacking him.

If I were the Trump campaign, I would advocate that he hold campaign rallies in inner cities.

Outrage, smoutrage.

They can scream all they like, but come election time, the “black community” will vote Democommie every time. Bank on it.

Justice is suppose to be blind but it is far from that today. The Bidens are criminals with mountains of evidence against them and the DOJ does nothing. President Trump has done nothing wrong but he is persecuted by the same DOJ. Even people from Jan 6 who only walked in a government building are being sent to prison for years. The Biden criminals are free to commit crimes while the average American is thrown in prison for simple trespassing.

I would suggest looking at his rap sheet before making any comparisons. pleaded guilty in 2019 to providing an incorrect Social Security number. He put a different SSN because he has felony convictions.
