Hunter Biden gets a love tap on the wrist and a get out of jail free card — 52 Comments

  1. Nothing could be more damaging to our supposed “Justice system,” to people’s trust in the Law, and it’s equal application than this.

    The thing is, the favoritism and the working of the “two tiered justice system” is so obvious, blatant, and “in your face” here that we can see that Biden and his cronies don’t really care, or feel the need to hide any of this anymore–they hold us all in contempt, to them we’re all just chumps, to be lied to and taken advantage of; they are “above the Law,” which only applies to all of us “little people.”

  2. We first saw this news about 5 hours ago, and I was just outraged. Just as was the case with Hillary’s abuse of the security classification system, this abuse of the firearms laws that Democrats are constantly wanting to make more strict is another example of “laws are for little people.” It just makes my blood boil. “We’re not just better than you,” they’re saying, “we know there’s not a thing you can do about it, so ef you.” Totally outrageous. This is our new Department of ‘Just-us’.

  3. The brazen lawlessness of this regime relies on a combination of acquiescence, approval, and ignorance by a majority of the voting population (people don’t know or don’t care or approve of it). At this point it’s difficult to know what percentages of voters fall into each of those categories and if that combination of groups represents a majority of voters. It could be that a majority of voters actually don’t approve of this stuff, but the problem is that even if it were so, how likely are they to coalesce around one “not-Biden” candidate in 2024?

  4. Nope, no surprise. Here’s what I suggest as an opening salvo to any and all left leaning family, friends, acquaintances regarding this, Trump’s legal proceedings or anything related to federal law enforcement in this country:

    “Look, we live in a soft authoritarian regime. We’re not on the verge of it; we’re in it. The ‘Biden’ administration is a soft authoritarian regime. There are many hallmarks of authoritarian regimes, and this administration (along with the administratrative state overall) displays most of them, including:

    1. A two tiered system of justice, including sheltering of serious crimes by individuals high up in the regime or their family
    2. Indirect control of or heavy handed influence on, the media, with severe intimidation of dissident sources.
    3. Elections where voting is so haphazard and loosely controlled the results are frequently suspect.
    4. Collaboration with corporations to spread a unified message in the public and private sphere. Financial suppression of those who expresses dissent.
    5. Organized thugs, ostensibly not connected to the regime (Antifa, BLM) who attack and harass opponents of the regime or its approved positions on various social issues, with little if any consequences.
    6. Frequent and concerted Orwellian use of language to propagate the regime (cf. ‘Our Democracy’).

    Stop insulting my intelligence and deluding yourself; this IS a soft authoritarianism! And you support it. Your hatred of Trump has extended to his supporters and to conservatives in general. You are convinced these ‘deplorables’ are so dangerous or anyway distasteful, you accept all of the above in order to either destroy them (legally, socially and/or financially) or coerce them into submission.

    That is your position, that is what you believe and what you advocate. Own it.”

  5. The only reason this is allowed to happen hinges on the assent of those who go to the polls and vote for these people. Neo knows a number of them, so do I. Family, friends, the religiously observant, those who reject the notion of God, male, female, college educated professionals, blue-collar workers–the current melting pot! How we got to the place where this composite group is “all-in” goes back to the Gramscian March. Of course it grieves me to come to the conclusion that our Republic is a white-washed tomb.

  6. Democrat voters cannot possibly be so stupid as to think that there will be no repercussions after destroying the rule of law, the constitution and every concept of fair play. So why are they celebrating? They KNOW this is very seriously wrong. They KNOW.

    They aren’t good people. There is something seriously sick about anyone who cheers these horrors. If you don’t like the word “evil”, please offer whatever other terms are appropriate and adequate to fully describe the ugliness.

  7. This is absolutely and utterly disgraceful, but hardly unexpected, and it took, apparently, years of “effort” from the Department of (In)Justice to come up with this travesty of justice. Now (alas!) the Democrats (and their sycophantic lickspittles in the MSM) will be able to claim that Garland and his band of malign rogues go after their own as well!

  8. The obvious comparison is with how Trump has been and is being treated by our supposed “Justice system,” the trumped up charges, the strained interpretations of the law, the multiple charges hitting Trump from all sorts of jurisdictions–Congressional, Federal, State, and local–the various restrictions placed on Trump’s ability to lay out his case to the public and, now, the reported apparent effort to scare off any first class lawyers who might have thought to defend him, and on and on.

    But take him out of it.

    What about a comparison with how harshly the hundreds of January 6th people–some reportedly just passing by the Capitol building on that day, and never going on it’s steps or inside it–many of them still incarcerated in reportedly horrible conditions in the D.C. jail–have been dealt with by that “Justice system” which has so lightly just tapped Hunter Biden on the wrist?

  9. Evidence #1,643 of how we have a 2 tier justice system, one for Lefts and one for their opponents.
    It’s revolting but nothing we can do about it.

  10. To quote Ricky Gervais when MCing the Golden Globes, Biden and Co. “just don’t care,” they are immune.

    Biden and Co. thumb their noses at us and do whatever they want, free from the penalties that slam down on ordinary citizens like a ton of bricks, and would slam down on them too, if our Justice system were working as it was once was advertised to the world as doing, and should be.

  11. The plea deal isn’t the only love tap Hunter got away with– the mother of Brandon’s unacknowledged granddaughter agreed to a 75% (not a typo!) reduction in her child support payments: “Hunter Biden and his baby mama have privately settled their child support dispute in Arkansas, according to a source close to the first son. Lunden Roberts, 32, the mother of Hunter’s long-unacknowledged 4-year-old daughter, agreed to her monthly child support payments being slashed by more than 75% — from $20,000 to less than $5,000.
    She also is understood to have dropped her legal bid to change the little girl’s surname to Biden, a request rejected by Hunter’s attorneys.”

    https://nypost.com/2023/06/20/hunter-biden-baby-mama-luden-roberts-settle-child-support-dispute-with-first-sons-payments-slashed/

    I’m surprised that Meghan Markle hasn’t yet dumped Harry for Hunter.

  12. I can just imagine the smug nods of approval from some of my relations. I can hope, and not feel guilty, that at some point they get crossways with a crooked interpretation of the law and call for justice and fairness. It will be hilarious.

  13. How we got here: coalition politics. Everybody has a grievance. Get together enough grievance-havers, promise them things, and you’ve got something like a majority. Keep those grievances alive and you’ve got a winning formula. We had divisions in the past — between regions, between racial, religious and ethnic groups, between classes, occupational groups, and economic sectors — but we also had feelings of belonging to the same country and took pride in that. When that went, people retreated into hermetically sealed worlds each with its own reality. People who don’t actually have grievances of their own have become so hostile to what America has been, that they fit easily into the grievance world and its thought control.

  14. “What about a comparison with how harshly the hundreds of January 6th people–some reportedly just passing by the Capitol building on that day, and never going on it’s steps or inside it–many of them still incarcerated in reportedly horrible conditions in the D.C. jail–have been dealt with by that “Justice system” which has so lightly just tapped Hunter Biden on the wrist?” Snow on Pine

    On December 12, 2020 I traveled to D.C. with our youngest for the Rally that Eric Metaxas and others had assembled. He was going to go alone (a young family man with a newly born 2nd child) and I was able to hastily arrange flying in and out with him–there less than 24 hours. It was peaceable, except for the one Antifa attack outside the Hyatt where we stayed. Based on that one day, I can honestly say, that if my son and I were there on the 6th, and had not seen people climbing the Capitol walls, but instead a calm group entering–we would entered as well. Because that’s exactly what we did on the 12th–walked here, walked there and joined the crowds at various points. He was still in a state of mind where he wanted to attend on Jan. 6th. I told him, he did his part (we had quietly made our rounds, talked to each other and prayed through the streets of the seat of our government). In the aftermath, he separated himself from the whole shebang. He’s adopted the point of view that it has evolved into a scam that functions best on dividing the populous. He thanked me profusely that I talked him out of a Jan. 6 trip. He’s waiting for it all to burn down so we can start over. Our other son served 8 years in the Marine Corps–4 of them as a Marine Security Guard. His brother couldn’t talk him into the 12/12 trip and he stopped keeping up with Ace and others by the summer of 2021. Too depressing and they have youngsters to raise.

  15. “Democrat voters cannot possibly be so stupid as to think that there will be no repercussions after destroying the rule of law, the constitution and every concept of fair play.”

    Don’t be so sure, Stan. Many of the liberals I know are fairly simplistic in their views: Democrats = GOOD; GOP = EVIL; TRUMP = EVILx10000. Thus, anything that helps Democrats or that Democrats support…they will support without question.

    That’s why I think we should tell them point blank what it is they are supporting and espousing (see above); few of them have really given much reflection or consideration to anything beyond the Democrat Good; GOP Evil dichotomy.

    Among liberals, that is. Leftists often have a more sophisticated understanding of what is happening; they gleefully support all of it because they believe they will come out on top…forever. It’s all about the will to power for them.

  16. Tucker has just posted (on Twitter) an absolutely superb video about Hunter’s corruption, and about the senile buffoon’s “historic administration” and the endlessly foolish KJP, “who walks in history”.

    Key grafs:
    ‘…The incident occurred on April 25, 2023, when an IRS agent identifying as “Bill Haus” with the agency’s Criminal Division visited the home of a taxpayer residing in Marion, Ohio…. The agent initially lied to the taxpayer that he was visiting with regard to her improper estate filings and that she owed a “substantial amount” to the IRS. Before his visit, the taxpayer had not received any notification from the tax agency regarding unpaid dues on the estate.
    ‘ After the taxpayer showed proof that she had paid all taxes for the estate, agent Haus then said that the true purpose of his visit was not related to the estate but that the taxpayer allegedly had several delinquent tax return filings. He then proceeded to provide documents for the taxpayer to fill out—including submitting sensitive personal information.
    ‘ The taxpayer immediately called her attorney, who asked Agent Haus to leave her home. The agent responded aggressively, insisting that “I am an IRS agent, I can be at and go into anyone’s house at any time I want to be.” [Emphasis mine; Barry M.]
    ‘ Before leaving her home, Haus “threatened” the taxpayer that she had one week to pay off her dues, failing which he would freeze her assets and put a lien on her home…. In May, the taxpayer contacted Haus’ supervisor, who subsequently resolved the matter. On May 30, she received a letter from the IRS stating that her case had been closed….’

    Charming.

    Key graf (RTWT):
    “…The Espionage Act was written for times like these. Enacted in 1917 to criminalize antiwar activism, the statute is a political weapon designed to bypass the Constitution and prosecute the ruling party’s domestic opponents. The fact that Trump has been charged with crimes under the Espionage Act is evidence that the world’s oldest democracy has fallen into the hands of a corrupt and pathological ruling faction that has turned federal law enforcement into a people’s commissariat serving a cohort of performative elites who still harbor the fantasy that a former American president is a Russian spy….” [Emphasis mine; Barry M.]

  19. Deja Taylor is the mother of the six-year-old student who took his mother’s gun to a Newport News elementary school and shot his teacher, Abby Zwerner. When Taylor filled out the forms to purchase the gun, she answered “no” to the question “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?”. In fact, she regularly used marijuana. She has now been convicted of making a false statement during the purchase of a firearm and will be sentenced to 18 to 24 months in prison.

    This is the same question that Hunter Biden answered “no” to when he purchased his gun. He was a crack user at the time, and so also made a false statement. But he faces no prison time.

    It doesn’t get more stark than that. (And is it worth noting that Taylor is black and Biden is white?)

  20. It was this or a presidential pardon. Both are terrible looks.

    If it was me, I’d predict a quick conviction, and a ‘magnanmous’ Biden commutation of Trump’s sentence (not a pardon, though!).

  21. Barry mentioned Lee Smith’s Tablet article. It is succinct but spot on. Trump has said it’s not him they’re ultimately after; he’s just in the way. That article reinforces Trump’s statement.

  22. Ackler:

    I quoted the Lee Smith article in the post above this one.

    I plan to write more about that article, probably tomorrow.

  23. Vivek’s tweet is wrong. They don’t need a fig leaf. They are blatantly breaking the laws to show us our place. They want to be seen enjoying the spoils.

  24. Many here have already commented on the culpability of our democratic friends and family. I agree. I also think they would wholeheartedly resist any attempt to bring them ” to the light”.

    However, I will note that for the ones I know who almost every day post something about either Trump or evil GOP, there have been many crickets chirping.

  25. Unlike stan, Ackler seems to actually know some liberals who are actually people, and not Spawn of Satan.

    Unfortunately, liberal people that Ackler knows must be convinced and may change their ways; Spawn of Satan need only be condemned, since they are irredemiable.

  26. Hmmm…..

    I wonder if this was the plan all along?

    Is this the start of a trade off?

    Did Joe Biden + his Democrat-party pals, knowing that Hunter Biden was [a big, political problem for Joe Biden-
    wait around, + find Trump [doing a real or imagined crime], and then ask Trump + the GOP to [drop each other’s BIG messes?]

    Was the [Trump’s crime of keeping secret papers in his house] created by Joe and his friends, to get Trump + the GOP, to DROP the [Hunter Biden, drugs, illegal guns, + illegal gun possession, scandal?]

    Is this a plan by Joe Biden’s team- to get Joe Biden’s team to meet with Trump’s lawyers and to say:

    “OK now…Joe + his son have a big crime, and so does Trump!

    …How about we work together on this?

    How about YOU [drop the charges and publicity against Hunter Biden],

    and then we’ll [DROP the charges and publicity against Trump], and then we’ll all go home happy?”?

    That sounds like a workable plan to me.

    [I think that corrupt lawyers, and corrupt politicians, have made deals like this, in the past. I wouldn’t like it if the Hunter Biden case ends like it does in my theory, but it [could] end in that way.]

  27. no there is no crime on trumps part,

    but hunter is the front man for a hundred billion dollar looting party, akin to the iran deal, which was nearly as much, not to mention kazakh and other parties, the maltese bank that collapsed, need I go on,

  28. Hi miguel cervantes,

    If you’re responding to my comment, I agree.

    But In my comment, I was talking about Trump doing [a real or imaginary crime], or [a theoretical crime].

    Whatever.

    Cheers.

  29. OM, I do know such people. Whether they will ever change…well that’s an open question. I’m not optimistic.

  30. When Biden says “No joke,” or “I’m not kidding,” or “That’s not hyperbole,” it’s a sign that he’s not telling the truth. His “heh-heh-heh” does sound like “duping delight.” Ditto for the strange facial expressions in the stills from Peter Strzok’s testimony before Congress that you can find on the Internet.

    No, there isn’t going to be any Trump-Biden deal. Hunter is already off the hook, at least for these charges. So far the Biden Team has been able to contain the scandals, and there’s no indication that they won’t be able to do so in the future, so the Team has no reason to stop the Trump prosecutions that they could stop (they can’t stop the state cases which would continue whatever they do). They don’t want stop the pressure on Trump, and they feel they don’t have to. Trump knows that the Mainstream Media aren’t going to stop going after him, and Biden’s Team knows that the pro-Trump media doesn’t matter much. Trump’s already lost Fox News and hardly anybody knows about the other outlets.

  31. Abraxas:

    Agreed that there will be no Trump/Biden deal. There would be no reason for Biden to ever think it necessary. They have Trump where they want him, and they know that they will never be held to account for anything.

    Why anyone would think otherwise is a mystery to me.

  32. Hi Abraxas,

    Yeah, probably not.

    But since, in my view, Biden + Blinken’s corruption is so high, that they have declared that, [Taiwan is not independent], after the US has supported Taiwan’s independence since about 1945, I personally don’t put any limits on the corrupt actions Biden + Blinken might do in the future.

    Cheers.

  33. Well…there is always a miracle…?.
    People here commenting on Democrat friends and family. I do think the Democrat’s Achilles heel is the males in Women’s spaces. I suggest that when these things come up for votes in State houses and such, make note of the near party line votes and point out accordingly. And Biden and the Title IX business.

  34. The Hunter Biden plea deal is a slap in the face to Republicans and they must respond or lose all credibility (and cede the field to Trump). IMO, House Republicans should immediately begin impeachment proceedings against, at a minimum, Biden and Garland and declare a moratorium on all legislation. The time for nuance and pedantics is over.

  35. A bit of naive(?) speculation for those of us who CONTINUE to grasp at some possibilities that one dearly hopes are a bit stronger than straws…?
    Kinda like falling in love—AGAIN—perhaps: the potential of HOPE’s brave triumph over grim, disappointing EXPERIENCE (in this case “Biden”‘s massive totalitarian construct…and “his” completely successful weaponization of government, with almost total media support.)
