This week, Hunter Biden is going to court to face felony gun charges. The president’s son has been charged with falsifying documents when applying for a gun license. This will be the first time a sitting president’s child faces criminal charges.
It doesn’t look good for Hunter, based on the details. The man has long been accused of wrongdoing. This case is just one of several that could land him in jail. And many are giving him a very bad prognosis.
From Breitbart:
[Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said,] “He clearly lied, Haley was a part of it. He’s had, of course, a long history of drug use, which is well known. It’s why he had to leave the military. And the weapon did end up in a dumpster and it appears pretty clear that Haley was involved with that. So, this should be an open and shut case.”
The details surrounding this gun charge seem “open and shut” according to many commentators. Hunter Biden violated gun laws, which should result in a conviction and some kind of penalty. If that happens, it will not bode well for Joe Biden, who is facing tough reelection odds.
Biden can’t expect to win the election with his son’s misdeeds dragging him down. So, it appears he is already interfering with the course of justice, to protect his son.
The DOJ had previously tried to orchestrate a plea deal that would have gotten Hunter out of trouble. Biden recently visited Hailey Biden, in a suspiciously-timed trip. Now, someone within the White House released a statement from Biden, which might be poisoning the jury selection process.
From Fox News:
President Biden issued a statement as his son, Hunter Biden, faces trial over federal gun charges.“I am the President, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today. Hunter’s resilience in the face of adversity and the strength he has brought to his recovery are inspiring to us. A lot of families have loved ones who have overcome addiction and know what we mean,” Biden said. “As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength. Our family has been through a lot together, and Jill and I are going to continue to be there for Hunter and our family with our love and support.”
Just as Hunter goes to court, Biden releases a statement to generate sympathy for him and his family. This skirts closely with tampering with the trial, as the president is trying to soften Hunter’s image with claims about his “boundless love” for him.
Biden claims Hunter has gone through “recovery” in his drug addiction, despite evidence to the contrary. The president claims he “won’t comment” on the case. Yet this statement itself is a naked attempt to meddle in the process, as jurors might be less inclined to convict a president’s son, who has such “resilience” in the “face of adversity.”
This was a carefully crafted move by Biden’s people to manipulate the trial. Had Trump done this as president, the media and Democrats would have lost it. Yet Biden is allowed to put his thumb on the scale to help his son, and we are supposed to accept it.
Key Takeaways:
- Biden issued a statement in favor of his son Hunter, the day his trial kicked off.
- Hunter is facing felony gun charges, related to his drug abuse.
- The president issued a statement that could generate sympathy for Hunter and meddle in the course of justice.
