Joe Biden‘s campaign said, with no hint of irony, that Donald Trump’s conviction on Thursday is evidence that “no one is above the law.”
“In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law,” campaign communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
“Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain,” Tyler said.
“But today’s verdict does not change the fact that the American people face a simple reality. “There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.”
Following the verdict, Biden’s X account appealed for fundraising support for his campaign.
“There’s only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: At the ballot box. Donate to our campaign today,” the message from Biden’s account said.
Biden, 81, spent Thursday at his Rehoboth Beach, Del. vacation home with his famiy.
“We respect the rule of law, and have no additional comment,” White House counsel’s office spokesman Ian Sams said in a separate statement.
The New York Post reported: Accompanying Biden to Rehoboth Thursday morning was first son Hunter Biden, 54, who faces a federal trial on gun charges beginning June 3 in Delaware and another federal trial beginning Sept. 5 in Los Angeles for allegedly failing to pay $1.4 million in taxes between 2016 and 2019 on the proceeds of overseas business relationships in which he involved his father.
Hunter Biden walked away from a probation-only plea deal last July after making courtroom demands for broad immunity for past conduct, including alleged violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which could implicate dad Joe.
The former president also does not face any travel restrictions until the sentencing.
Trump’s attorneys said they plan to appeal the verdict “as soon as we can.”
If Trump loses an appeal with the mid-level appeals court, he’ll likely seek to have the state’s highest court hear his case, which could take another additional year.
The case against Trump, brought by elected Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg last April, was widely seen as the weakest of four indictments charging the former president with a total of 88 counts.
The 77-year-old also faces indictments in Florida for allegedly mishandling classified documents, a federal case in DC for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election and a state election case in Georgia.
Despite widespread skepticism of Bragg’s case, jurors swiftly convicted Trump after deliberating for approximately 11 hours over two days.
Trump gave a brief but defiant speech outside of the courtroom, calling the proceedings a “rigged, disgraceful trial.
“The real verdict is going to be Nov. 5 by the people and they know what happened and everyone knows what happened here,” he added. “
This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent.”
It certainly applies in President Trump’s case
Odd question. But just when did the phrase “First Son” become acceptable when writing about a president’s son? I do not recall seeing it ever before.
I don’t recall ever seeing it before, even when Ford, Reagan, Bush 1 were in office and they all had sons.............
The Dems have the perfect setup. They control NY et al, the Senate, and the executive branch. From now till Election Day, and possibly beyond, our lives will be miserable.
I thought Biden was going to have a formal white house press conference to gloat about the verdict. Saving it for the debates?
And the Assembly and the courts. NYS is DEEP Blue and totally corrupt.
Karma is a bitch.

Contrary to what some people maintain, Biden will now love to debate Trump and burn about ten to fifteen minutes of the debate, and maybe more with moderator help, by calling Trump a convicted felon.
LET’S SEE WHAT HE SAYS WHEN HUNTER IS ON TRIAL.
THE ENTIRE BIDEN CORRUPTION CLAN NEEDS TO GO DOWN.
WONDER IF DOJ will have to go after “THE SLOW-THINKING WELL-MEANING OLD MAN NOW????
Why do I have the feeling that Hunter will be let off.
One of the embeciles parroting lines written for him, by a bidenista “Robby MOOK” a@@clown.
Does not get that THEY think THEY are above the LAW, and in fact the LAW is what they say it is!!
Well there is a Mao saying that applies here. Not to be quoted. Just applied. Stay peaceful. Select the enemy.
See Solzhenistyn “Oh, how we....
So says Biden the child molesting scumbag. He should go beg his daughter for forgiveness for what he did to her over and over again. Now he’s screwing the country instead of his children. He probably molested all his kids. But nobody is above the law. Joe is an idiot who doesn’t have a shred of self awareness.
However, It does appear that one can be beneath the law...
Biden supports 60 million illegals running wild in america and then says no one is above the law.!
IS HUNTER ABOVE THE LAW ??
CONVICT HIM !!!!
IS BIDEN ABOVE THE LAW ???
CONVICT HIM FOR TAKING BRIBES FROM THE CHINESE !!!!
