Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, slammed his GOP colleagues for their acceptance of the Hunter Biden verdict Tuesday after arguing former President Trump’s guilty verdict was the result of a rigged system.
Hunter Biden was convicted Tuesday on three counts related to failing to acknowledge drug use when purchasing a weapon.
“The contrast today is just staggering. Apparently, when a Republican is convicted, it’s weaponization. But when a Democrat is convicted — the president’s son, no less — that’s justice. I mean, give me a break. Hunter Biden was found guilty by a jury of his peers, just like Donald Trump, because this is our justice system at work,” McGovern said.
“After the verdict this morning, how can any Republican in their right mind argue that the Biden administration is weaponizing the [Justice Department] to hurt Republicans and to help Democrats? They just convicted the president’s own son,” he added, noting ongoing prosecution of Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez (N.J.) and Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas) on charges related to abusing their offices.

A typical regressive non-liberal ‘brain’ is composed of the densest substance known to man
In Trump’s case there was NO crime.
it is staggering that a sympathetic ‘home town’ jury convicted Hunter for lying as opposed to a hostile jury in NYC who convicted Trump for not lying
The Hunter trial was a real trial. The Trump trial was showboat political attack sham. Simple dear congressman.
As Dana Perino said on “The Five,” it’s like comparing an apple to a cucumber.
All I've heard are 2nd Amendment advocates saying the verdict is too harsh and other conservatives saying it is worthless because they picked the one charge that keeps the public's eyes as far away from Burisima as possible.
Hardly the gleeful, gloating GOP response this idiot was expecting - but he runs with the narrative, anyway.
The meritless Garland didn’t make up Biden’s offences.
He did try to rig previous legal proceedings to clear Hunter, but this time let them go through to give the appearance of Equal Justice.
The fact that this idiot can’t see how different these two trials were run, not to mention the difference in the integrity of the witnesses, says os much about what a complete imbecile he is.
Ask me again after Hunter’s sentencing, lol!
