Quote of the Day
“Hunter Biden is not lying about the charges against him, claiming that his rights are being violated, or accusing the FBI of planting evidence or trying to assassinate him. Hunter Biden is not publicly slamming the prosecutor, the judge, or the judge’s kids. As a result, Hunter Biden is not under a gag order. The people who support Hunter Biden aren’t trying to dox jurors in order to harass and intimidate them (or worse). The President of the United States, who happens to be Hunter Biden’s dad, isn’t trying to fire the Special Counsel prosecuting his son. The President is also not trying to fire the Attorney General who appointed the Special Counsel prosecuting his son. The President is not calling the case a “witch-hunt” or a “hoax,” threatening to order his Attorney General to prosecute the prosecutor, or calling on Democrats in Congress to hold hearings and compel the Special Counsel to testify. The President has given no indication that if his son is convicted, he would pardon him.”
The Hunter Biden gun case is extraordinary because it is simply proceeding like any other criminal case — no threats, no protests, no delegitimizing of everyone involved. Frankly, it’s a refreshing change in that regard.
