About That Indictment

While many cheered the news of Hunter Biden’s indictment, there are plenty of reasons to remain skeptical. This one act does nothing to reestablish the concept of equal justice under the law, which the left has eviscerated. Consider these points:

The most egregious behavior by Hunter Biden – foreign influence peddling, failure to register as a foreign agent (the same charge that put Paul Manafort in jail), tax evasion and money laundering – were all tried to Joe Biden. U.S. Attorney Weiss and other elements of federal law enforcement dragged their feet on those investigations for years and allowed the statute of limitations to expire. The statute of limitations on the gun charge was just 28 days away from expiring.

Weiss’s goal from the beginning was always to avoid indicting or prosecuting Hunter Biden, let alone Joe Biden, for anything. Powerful people throughout the federal government were working toward that goal. We’re only at this point because Republicans won a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, emboldening whistleblowers to come forward, and a single judge was so outraged by the absurd plea deal. There could still be a new plea agreement that results in no prison time.

Let’s assume Hunter is tried and actually convicted of something. There will be appeals, which will stretch out for at least a year, beyond the 2024 election. The left wants to convict Donald Trump before the election, while making sure no one in the Biden family is convicted and sent to jail before the election. Those are the optics they desperately want.

Let’s assume that Republicans win the election, in spite of all the election interference that’s going on now and all the fraud the left will attempt. Joe Biden still has from November 6, 2024 to January 20, 2025 to pardon his son and all other Biden family members who are implicated in this massive wealth machine.

Let’s say Biden wins the election. He doesn’t have to face the voters again. He’ll pardon Hunter and everyone else on November 6, 2024.

Maybe someone has a scenario I’m missing, but I’m not holding my breath that justice will be done here. Meanwhile, the neo-Marxist left will continue its relentless campaign to have Trump die in prison. That’s why he’s facing 700 years in jail.
