The Martyring Of Hunter Biden Is A Distraction
The Federalist ^ | June 12, 2024 | David Harsanyi

Posted on 06/12/2024 2:59:10 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

First, let’s dispel the myth that Hunter Biden’s conviction on gun charges proves that Joe Biden’s Department of Justice dispenses justice fairly.

Democrats contend that Hunter is only facing gun charges because he’s the president’s son. While it’s true lying on a background check is rarely prosecuted, it’s mostly because people tend to avoid confessing in their published memoirs.

Indeed, Hunter is exceptionally lucky he’s only facing tax and gun charges. Though, perhaps, lucky is the wrong word.

It wasn’t luck, after all, that AG Merrick Garland did basically everything within his power to keep Hunter out of a courtroom. After the Trump DOJ dragged its feet, Garland made sure to try and wait out the statute of limitations on Hunter’s most serious potential crimes. On many, he did.

It wasn’t luck that Garland named Delaware’s David Weiss, whose office was filled with Biden allies, as special counsel. It wasn’t luck that the Secret Service showed up to help Hunter with his gun problem. It wasn’t luck that the feds cooked up an astonishing customized immunity deal for Hunter, which would not only give him a pass on any felony gun and tax charges, but also on a slew of unrelated, far more serious, potential offenses, including failure to register as a foreign agent, bribery, and corruption.

Do you think anyone else gets this kind of consideration from the DOJ?

Martyring?? Unlike Trump, he got a fair trial that was fully supported by the evidence.

It’s definitely a myth

Joe and company intended to remove
a significant political rival from
the upcoming election this November

This was all for show, specifically
staged to occur in 2024 after all of
the years of stalling and misdirection

The Surrender Monkeys are in shock that any action, no matter how small, was taken against a Democrat.

Some dems are going to say “see the Justice dept is fair and it’s EQUAL now”.

Uhhh no.

If Trump goes to jail they win the POTUS for 4 more years and MAGA is likely destroyed or set back.

If Hunter goes to jail they lose a Crackhead.

It’s not equal.

Martyrdom implies innocence. He’s not in the least bit innocent.
