Below is my column in the New York Post on the conviction of Hunter Biden in Delaware and how his nullification strategy may have backfired. As discussed below, empathy can turn into insult when jurors are given patently implausible theories by the defense. Hunter finally found a group of people who were unwilling to see him as immune from responsibility for his conduct. Hunter literally came up a donut short of a defense in Wilmington.
Here is the column:
The conviction of Hunter Biden on all of the federal gun counts created a surprising new precedent in Delaware … for Hunter Biden.
In terms of the law, this was the easiest judgment since the Jussie Smollett verdict. (Actually the Biden jury took a third of the time with a verdict in just three hours.)
For Hunter Biden, though, this was the first time he’s ever been held accountable for any criminal conduct, be it drug use, or prostitution, or tax evasion, or violations of various federal laws.
To have that moment come in the hometown of the Bidens likely only magnified the shock.
Last year, I described the growing legal problems of Hunter Biden as the cost of “legal gluttony.”
The Bidens have always been adept at avoiding accountability, particularly for the extensive influence-peddling operation that raked in millions in foreign payments.
That appetite for special treatment proved the undoing of Hunter, much like his appetite in other areas of his life.
Hunter and his team expected the same level of immunity when he worked with special counsel David Weiss to cut an astonishing deal to avoid any real punishment for these or other crimes.
Even before the deal was cut, Weiss allowed major crimes to expire under the statute of limitations (despite having an agreement to extend that period).
He also agreed to a deal that would have avoided any jail time and would have given Hunter an immunity bath that would have drowned the entire criminal code.
Hunter and his legal team succeeded in securing this sweetheart deal, which shocked many of us.
More importantly, it shocked US District Judge Maryellen Noreika, who only had to question the immunity provision to have the entire agreement fall apart in open court. The prosecutor admitted that he had never seen a plea bargain like this in his long career.
That’s when the legal gluttony became even more pronounced. Rather than fight to preserve key elements of the plea agreement, defense counsel said, “Just rip it up.”
Later, the special counsel said the Hunter defense team would not agree to a compromise agreement and instead forced the matter to trial.
I wrote before the trial that the defense was insane to try the case rather than plead guilty. A plea would have virtually guaranteed that there would be no jail time in the case.
Instead, the defense launched an open jury nullification effort to get the jury to simply ignore the evidence. In the hometown of the Bidens, this was the best jury pool that Hunter could hope for.
However, the nullification strategy was another manifestation of a gluttonous appetite
Hunter Biden was still demanding a pass in a case where guilt was unavoidably and undeniably obvious to everyone.
Defense counsel Abbe Lowell made a series of defenses that collapsed within the first two days in spectacular fashion.
Lowell suggested that someone else checked the box on the form and that Hunter may have had a brief window of sobriety or non-drug use.
Hunter’s own words played from his audiobook knocked down much of those arguments, and a store employee recounted watching Hunter fill out the form.
In the first interview with a juror, Fox News seemed to confirm that the Biden defense overplayed its hand. The juror raised the text messages showing Hunter trying to score drugs at a 7-Eleven.
Lowell suggested that he might have been at the store buying a donut.
However, the juror noted that Hunter stated in his book that the 7-Eleven was his favorite spot for buying drugs, just as his texts indicated. He clearly viewed the story as more hole than donut.
It is an example of how an all-you-can-eat defense can fail to even get a donut from a sympathetic jury.
The problem now is that this all played out in front of the judge who will now sentence Hunter.
Noreika witnessed the attempt to secure the sweetheart deal and then the disaster in open court.
She watched as a defendant not only refused to admit guilt, but decided to put on an obvious jury nullification defense.
That history could weigh in favor of a short jail stint for Hunter, a risk that would have been effectively eliminated by a guilty plea.
Hunter will now face an even greater risk in Los Angeles on the more serious counts of tax evasion. It is, again, an open-and-shut case.
I expect that he will plead guilty in that case. If Delaware made any impression on Hunter, it is that there are real costs to allowing your appetite to exceed your limitations.
Jonathan Turley is an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School.
So Hunter Biden has been found guilty of the non-violent felony of falsifying a federal firearm purchase form, I think his punishment should simply be that he can never own or possess a firearm, no jail time and no fine.
90% of guys convicted of this crime go to prison, should Hunter get a break? I thought “no-one is above the law”.
Actually hullbobby, the fact is that this violation is usually tacked on to more serious and usually violent firearm violations and THAT is why they go to prison.
Stripping someone of their 2nd Amendment rights is not allowing them to be above the law.
Stripping someone of their 2nd Amendment rights is a life sentence.
It would be unconstitutional. Nonviolent offenses even felonies are not cause to deny the right to bear arms.
Look up Rahimi vs. US
Rahimi is before scotus. Therefore it is not “unconstitutional”.
But thanks for ruling in place of scotus
They are expected to rule in favor of Rahimi. When using Bruen it becomes obvious they will side with Rahimi. Once they do Hunter will have a good reason to argue the question on the form is unconstitutional.
The Daniels ruling would be further buttressed by a ruling in favor of Rahimi.
And what of the 8ths ruling, dum dum?
The one you choose to ignore.
The question on the form?? Seriously??? Lmao
Nonviolent offenses even felonies are not cause to deny the right to bear arms
Look up Rahimi vs. US
Too funny.
Rahimi is (g)(8).
Different statute.
And its about someone under a restraining order for “domestic VIOLENCE”.
LOL
From Bruen:
“Our holding decides nothing about who may lawfully possess a firearm or the requirements that must be met to buy a gun”
Not for the crime he was accused of. Those kinds of crimes, lying on the 4473 form are rare. None with any jail time. That’s why Weiss was reluctant to prosecute in the first place and why he offered a deal.
He was accused of 3 crimes, idiot
Excuse me. He was convicted of 3 crimes
That would be a violation of his 2nd amendment rights. The Supreme Court is set to rule on that very issue soon.
Nonviolent felons cannot be barred from owning a gun according to Bruen.
What you propose would be unconstitutional. SCOTUS is making 2nd amendment rights broader than ever.
If that were true according to bruen, why would scotus be considering it?
Lmao
Your stupid ass keeps applying bruen like it was a ruling that the 1968 GCA was unconstitutional.
Thats is not what they ruled.
Whats hilarious is that you just keep fan boying this shit like its good, forgetting where u previously stood on gun control, Svelaz.
You do understand that liberals want MORE gun control laws, not fewer?
Where will “universal background checks” be, when you’ve bruened your way to: no one can be prohibited from owning a gun.
Example:
PCP addicts arent a danger when they arent on PCP.
Convicted rapists arent a danger once they have been rehabilitated
Insurrectionists arent a danger once they have done their time and said they are sorry, and joined the democrat party.
“ Whats hilarious is that you just keep fan boying this shit like its good, forgetting where u previously stood on gun control”
It doesn’t matter what position is held. What matters is current law and applying the recent and upcoming rulings to Hunter’s benefit. President Biden opposed Bruen. That doesn’t mean Hunter will not use it to his advantage. If it’s there why not use as a valid defense?
“ Insurrectionists arent a danger once they have done their time and said they are sorry, and joined the democrat party.”
They were charged with violent crimes. In Daniel’s and Rahimi’s case they were charged with nonviolent crimes. Thats the distinction the court makes.
“ Convicted rapists arent a danger once they have been rehabilitated”
Rape is a violent crime.
“ PCP addicts arent a danger when they arent on PCP.”
Being an addict is not a crime. Only if a violent crime was committed while under the influence does it become an issue.
As of now, idiot. There was no prohibition against former violent offenders in 2A
Using drugs is a crime, red herring boy
“They were charged with violent crimes. In Daniel’s and Rahimi’s case they were charged with nonviolent crimes. “
First of all, Rahimi was under a restraining order. Thats the statute in question there. The prohibition on someone under a restraining order.
Restraining order for what, you ask??
Why, domestic violence, dip shit.
Is domestic violence assault a non violent crime now???
The question in Rahimi is not violent vs non violent crime. Its not drug use vs marijuana use.
Daniels was not charged with or convicted of any crime related to his possession or use of marijuana, so what is this “non violent crime” you speak of?
Hunter is not charged with or convicted of any drug charge. So what is this “non violent crime” you say he was convicted of?
This is how stupid you are.
Bruen set precedent for Rahimi which then supports Daniels. All three rulings greatly improve Hunter’s chances on appeal.
There will be no appeal
Daniels does not apply. Veasley does. Bruen does to the extent that there are additional burdens, addressed in Veasley.
But you can dream.
Rahimi does not apply. Different crime
The problem he had was not that he was a drug user. Is that he shot someone. The government charged him under 922(g)(3)
LMAO. You just contradicted yourself.
g3 is for drug users, not shooters.
Lmao
“Nonviolent felons cannot be barred from owning a gun according to Bruen.”
What the fvck are you talking about???
Just makin’ shit up.
That was a ninth circuit ruling.
I am done with your ignorant ass. I am just going to shit all over your lies going forward.
There is no point having a discussion with such as that.
I am no fan of these types of laws. I see them nothing more than gotchas. While I am no Hunter fan, he has substance abuse problems and was deep in his troubles. I am not rationalizing the case because that was open and shut. However, the whole idea is bad. I have friends that have these types of issues and while they are in recovery as they call it, they are not cured. They are the first to admit it. They may not be using or drinking, but they are still addicts. They have found a way to cope and not use. If I read this law correctly, they cannot have a gun either and that is a problem because they have done nothing else wrong.
That is why I am no fan of gotcha laws. I cry no tears for Hunter, but I do not celebrate a troubled individual on a gotcha case.
Do you think when he is being sentenced
he will tell the judge to ‘Say it nicer’?
Who was it that said ‘you can fool some of the people all of the time’…? After observing the election results in Europe; I find that the general tenor of people of the Western European original culture have had just about enough of whatever the progressive, international elites are selling. Hunter was just a small carbuncle on the surface of one mighty lump of collusion, corruption and grifting across the globe and we all know it.
Jonathan: One thing the Hunter Biden conviction proves is that Pres. Biden and AG Garland have a commitment to the rule of law. Biden says he will not pardon his son. Had it been one of DJT’s son’s we know the result. DJT would have either shut down any prosecution or pardoned his son!
And you won’t see Hunter complain his trial was “rigged” or that there was a “weaponization of the legal system” to go after him. Hunter will take the verdict like a man–not like the whiner-in-chief!
Did you even read the article? Of course he won’t say that his dad’s DOJ rigged the trial. What does he have to gain by that? His Dad’s DOJ slow walked the case since 2018 and unnecessarily allowed the statutes of limitation to run on some cases. Then they tried to give him a sweetheart deal which the Judge blew up. That left the DOJ with little choice but to try him. Does all of that say “rule of law” to you?
Dennis— Hunter ALREADY tried to get the case tossed by saying it was “rigged” with bias.
The claim was shot down and look what happened. Guilty of all charges.
Just because Biden (supposedly) won’t pardon his son doesn’t prove Trump would pardon his own.
Just because your side the Dems have used lawfare against their opponent
doesn’t mean with Hunter’s case it shows they don’t do that and are all ‘law and order’.
You’d know more about these things if you weren’t always going on and on with your whataboutism.
This is a far cry from the Trump case. It is not a Frankencase that Trump’s case was and not a cobbled together case from an expired one either. Trump also did not have the truly serious charges expire that Hunter did either that could have seriously jeopardized his freedom.
While I am no fan of this case because I am no fan of these types of laws in general, this was an open and shut case. His legal team shot themselves in the foot. As far as Hunter going to jail, he has to get jail to start with and that may not happen due to this being a first offense and Hunter is non-violent. That being said, Hunter’s father will pardon him especially if he loses the General election. I suspect there will be an appeal and that will hold until after the election.
Dennis doesnt remember that weiss was gonna pass, until the whistleblowers. Or the sweetheart deal, until Norieka.
His memory is about as long as his tiny dick.
Everything about this screams two tiered justice and crooked DoJ
You wonder sometimes who Dennis thinks he is talking to.
Uninformed much Dennis. You left out the bulk of the story.
A lot of my fellow bloggers are speculating on a lot of things that may never happen. Hunter’s tax case is scheduled for trial in September and if he actually goes to trial (long shot), he no doubt will be convicted because a) he didn’t pay his taxes, and b) if the name Biden didn’t work in Wilmington, it ain’t gonna work in LA. So, assuming a conviction by mid-September (tax cases like this go quickly because you either paid them or not, no character wiytnesses to cloud the matter) he would be sentenced probably before the end of the year. A brand new DOJ in January could direct a new special counsel to convene grand jury and call Hunter as a witness. His convictions and sentencing woulkd serve to immunize him and neutralize any 5th Amendment claims he might have not to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but te truth. Sure, he might lie as he has to Congress but that could be a new charge. And the Big Guy? He could be called, too. Trump is right, we need a ceasefire here so I would advertiose beforehand that the special counsel and her grand jury is for investigative purposes and not directed to indict anyone. The public is entitled to know if their president – past or present – is a crook. Biden needs to be stripped of whatever legacy he might have (which, realistically, is not much to begin with). Let the grand jurors hear from the FBI and CIA people who coverefd this upo and the 51 “intel” experts who gamed the laptop story to favor Biden’s election. Only by telling the whole story can we be assured that something like this never again occurs.
“ he no doubt will be convicted because a) he didn’t pay his taxes”
The taxes were paid. His friend Morris paid all outstanding taxes he owed. That case is not certain to guarantee a conviction.
OOOK Svelaz.
Exactly the same argument you made months ago. Exactly.
Reason number 21 that Svelaz is George
When proven wrong, he would begin his reply with “LOL” and end it with “you have a reading comprehension problem”
Exact same words.
Here, george is relying on jury nullification again, because the law is clear.
I suspect Lowell was trying to preserve Hunter’s right to appeal citing ineffectiveness of counsel.
His representation seemed to border on legal malpractice. Not to mention a waste of both the Biden’s money and federal resources.
That said I see no good reason that Hunter should receive jail time given his clean record and his low risk of recidivism for crimes of this nature.
You have to have grounds to petition for an appeal and I don’t see any here. The prosecution did little but cross-examine the defense witnesses that often helped the prosecution’s case. It’s almost unheard of that a lawyer (Hunter) could allege incompetent counsel against his own lawyer, especially one of the caliber of Lowell. As for sentencing, courts have a tradition of giving defendants who show no remorse and plead not guilty when in fact they are guilty jail time as a way to incentivize others to plea deal and save the scarce resources of the court for cases requiring the fact-finding skill and time of the judge and the criminal justice system. If they went through the motions only to wind up with a guilty verdict in a case that never should have been tried, the standard response is to give the defendant jail time. But I agree, no justice is served by 25 years, as is possible. Maybe two or three years with half that suspended will do.
Any defendant who doesn’t have their father available to pardon him would have taken the no-jail plea deal, but Hunter has the best ever GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card and contrary to what Joe says he will use it.
The Bidens are pigs, they take anything their little grubby hands get ahold of and they never look back. This is one time and one time only where a Biden paid a MINIMAL price for all the crimes he has committed.
So on the one hand we have DJT that did pardon criminals like Bannon who scammed millions $ for his massive wall that was a fraud. DJT has said he will pardon the insurrectionists that stormed the Capitol Building if elected Prez
Biden hasn’t pardoned anyone and yet he is the pig.
Get a grip on life dude.
No, Biden is a pig for taking money from China, Ukraine and Russia. Biden is a pig for living off the taxpayers for 50 years and ending up filthy rich. Biden is a pig for secreting classified documents in places that the CCP has access to (the so-called Penn Center that the CCP funds). Biden is a pig for showering with his daughter. Biden is a pig for swimming nude in front of female Secret Service agents. Biden is a pig for plagiarizing in college, on the campaign trail and lying about his life story.
Biden hasn’t pardoned his son yet BECAUSE HIS SON HASN’T BEEN SENTENCED YET. Moron.
Trump did us the pardon, but Clinton pardoned Marc Rich. Google it, moron.
You scoff at Trump’s wall but have no issue with TEN MILLION ILLEGALS IN 4 YEARS.
Your boy is crashing by the hour. Check out his great Junteenth performance with the bearded guy in a dress.
Give it up loser, Biden is toast, he will not be the nominee.
“ Biden hasn’t pardoned his son yet BECAUSE HIS SON HASN’T BEEN SENTENCED YET.”
The president doesn’t have to wait till sentencing to issue a pardon.
Upon conviction the president can issue a pardon before carrying out sentencing.
President Ford pardoned Nixon before he was even charged.
Reading comprehension, George, ya spastic idiot.
He didn’t say that Biden couldn’t pardon Hunter before sentencing, he merely stated that he thinks that is why he has not as of yet.
I think he is wrong as well, but for a different reason. Politics.
Reading for comprehension. Try it.
‘Biden hasn’t pardoned anyone’
They usually do it when they’re heading out the door.
Much of this is still to be seen. Who WILL he pardon? Hmmmm.
so when do we start investigating the money Bidens and EVERYONE around them gets from China?
Everyone knows the Democrat Justice system won’t punish him…for the same Crimes…Trump would be looking at $10 Billion Fine and 100 life sentences…and a 5 year trial.
Yes, Hunter Biden seems to be a disgusting person, almost as much as his father. And yes I am surprised there was not at least one Biden supporter who bought the fantastical defense and held fast to acquittal for at least longer than 3 hours. But that is not the most disgusting aspect of this whole episode. That aspect is the total collapse of David Weiss as a prosecutor who basically laid down and became a rug for the Biden Crime Family. If the Trump presidency starts again in 2025 I think Mr Weiss will get no appointments by President Trump this time around as he did in 2017. I think it will be interesting to see where Mr Weiss goes to work in the near and not so near future. Plenty of other events in Hunter’s recent life should have been examined but there seemed to be no curiosity at all by the United States Attorney.
We’ve seen somewhat ravenous and almost rabid prosecutors go after Trump and his people, false Russia collusion accusations , legal expenses become felonies in triplicate, NDA’s are now “verboten” for Republicans, A “Republican” FBI Director (not anymore) sends agents over to interview Gen Flynn about a phone call whose contents they already knew, absolved HRC of any wrongdoing in her e-mail scandal with the illegal home server and risking national security because she did not “intend” do anything wrong.
And then we see this absolutely wretched performance of a prosecutor who is supposed to be a competent attorney. This is malpractice, incompetence and probably more, if you really dug up more bodies in Delaware.
If this was a medical practitioner in my state the patient would be dead, the nurses irate (the biggest threat of all), the family would be at your throat, the malpractice attorneys would be lined up in two columns trying to take the case, your hospital privileges would have already been suspended, you likely would be subject to punitive damages, the licensing board would already have certified mail in your mailbox demanding answers, and the Attorney General of the state would be in the audience gauging further punishment. In our state the Attorney General’s office reviews all malpractice cases lost or settled and can take additional action.
I think wretched is an adequate if understated response.
The most glaring thing about Mr Weiss here is that he can actually stand up. My medical training would suggest that this was a physical impossibility when a person has no spine.
The kabuki theater is now in play, heading into the final scene. Hunter will plead guilty to everything from here on in order to protect himself and his co-conspirators from revelations they would prefer to avoid. Then Joe, in preparation for his departure from the stage as candidate in 2024, will pardon Hunter with a grandiose gesture of a father saving a beloved son. Hunter will no longer be a threat to the family. The Democrats will get their wish that Biden be exchanged for a better candidate. And, an American people with an OJ jury mentality will respond by electing a rabidly Progressive President in November. The final scene is drawing near.
“For Hunter Biden, though, this was the first time he’s ever been held accountable for any criminal conduct, be it drug use, or prostitution, or tax evasion, or violations of various federal laws.
To have that moment come in the hometown of the Bidens likely only magnified the shock.”
Replace the name Hunter Biden with Donald Trump and the word Biden’s with Trumps and the parallels to the Trump convictions are clear. Turley’s different responses to the two trials rate his level of partisanship with Steve Bannon and Rudy Guiliani, one scheduled to enter jail next month and the other disbarred, bankrupt, and indicted in different states. Radicalization takes many forms, many of the comments here have become nastier over time, unable to make a comment without an insult. Some have supported violence and suggested the possibility of future violence. When the next January 6th come, how many of you will be there “vacationing?”
That “partisanship” you allude to is not to a party, person, or family. It’s to the law.
I also understand you’ve suffered an endless series of embarrassing legal, moral and/or ethical losses trying to be supportive of all things Democrat.
Instead of saying anything “nasty” to enigma, I would ask everyone to respect his fragile emotional state and give him a big hug. 🤗
Enigma,
I was just about to post that exact same point. The irony of Turley saying it’s about time someone is held accountable for their actions while completely ignoring Trump and his own reckoning with accountability is hard to miss.
Turley could have easily made this column about Trump. But I suspect his readers will never forgive him for writing such a blasphemous thing in their eyes.
George, not everybody here is a Trump supporter.
But many of us do support the important impartiality of justice.
Mr. Turley gets it wrong sometimes, but you get it wrong EVERY time.
Agreed!
So true!
“Replace the name Hunter Biden with Donald Trump and the word Biden’s with Trumps and the parallels to the Trump convictions are clear. “
Not so Enigma, but if you removed or reversed identification factors, your present day beliefs would argue in favor of lynching blacks, separate but equal and blacks sit in the back of the bus.
Today’s Democrat believes in Color over Character.
Somewhere in time when you were a Republican and changed to Democrat you lost your focus on the rights of man. Both parties face that same problem but today’s Democrat is the worst of both parties. I believe in the rule of law along with character not color. I wish you did.
You say it’sm”not so” and immediately change the conversation to race as a diversion. Whitch part wasn’t true? That it was the first time Donald Trump was brought to justice for a criminal matter or that New York isn’t his home town?
”not so” and immediately change the conversation to race as a diversion. ”
>”Replace the name Hunter Biden with Donald Trump and the word Biden’s with Trumps and the parallels to the Trump convictions are clear. ”
Enigma, I understand we have differing viewpoints. Still, Turley’s parallels were not influenced by partisanship but by the specific facts of each case.
The contrast in legal treatment between Hunter and Trump is striking. In Hunter’s case, the statute of limitations was allowed to pass on apparent crimes, while it was politically extended in Trump’s case for non-existent crimes. This stark difference underscores that the comparison is not about their personal lives but about the functioning of our legal system, which might prompt you to question its fairness.
Trump’s non-existent crimes were convoluted to such an extent that after the verdict, no one knows what Trump was convicted for.
You said I used race as a diversion which it wasn’t. It was to demonstrate your partisanship and why you drew the wrong conclusions. You frequently talk about the equality of rights for black people, but you forget how your views today “would argue in favor of lynching blacks, separate but equal, and blacks sit in the back of the bus.Today’s Democrat believes in Color over Character.”
The common mantra heard by all the talking heads on TV is what a great lawyer Abbe Lowell is, etc. Thus may be true in some areas but not all. Lawyers, like doctors, specialize in certain kinds of cases. Just as you wouldn’t go to a dentist to fix a broken arm, you shouldn’t use a lawyer like Lowell to defend against slam-dunk charges of sleeze, drugs, and hookers. For a case like that you go to a big city Part A local lawyer who specializes in sleezy clients with all sort of problems. Lowell is a “white shoe” lawyer who just never understood what the jury saw so well: that Hunter is a sleezeball. By trying to portray him as something he wasn’t, the jury felt betrayed and lied to and that caused a conviction. When it comes to lawyers, sometimes you don’t get what you paid for.
JJC, I LOVE YOUR COMMENT. Lowell lost as much as Hunter. He was beaten like a rented mule in this case. He looked like an amateur.
Hunter sentence: Probation with drug testing and community service. Maybe he’ll find God and open a branch of The Church of What’s Happening Now?
You have to hand it to the Dems they know how to create a diversion to turn your attention away from the real issues.
I think they made the bet that Joe Biden was popular enough in Delaware that at least one juror would willfully disregard the mountain of evidence of guilt and vote NOT guilty resulting in a hung jury. Then the DOJ would opt not to retry the case. Somehow, 12 honest jurors with a conscience made it through voir dire. I’ve heard lawyers say jury selection is the most important part of any trial. After seeing what jurors did to Trump and now Biden, I think that is true.

I happened to be watching CBS when the verdict was announced. They interrupted regular programming to have their ready made panel of “experts” standing by to begin the spin process and sympathy campaign. I believe it was Major Garrett who said something to the effect that Hunter had a hard time dealing with his brother’s death, and that’s really when his anti-social behaviors got out of hand. Sorry, to inform Major but Hunter got himself kicked out of the military in February 2014 after testing positive for cocaine use. His brother died over a year later in April 2015.
Nora O’Donnell told viewers Hunter’s guilty conviction had to be a big blow to President Biden personally because he is so close to his family. She told viewers he calls his children and grandchildren “every day”. In the real world, in fact, the mother of one of Joe Biden’s grandchildren claims that neither Joe, nor the child’s father, Hunter, has ever even met the child in person, who is now five years old.
They just can’t be straight about anything.
Anonymous said: “Major Garrett who said something to the effect that Hunter had a hard time dealing with his brother’s death, and that’s really when his anti-social behaviors got out of hand”
Am I the only one who finds grief over his brother’s death and fvcking his dead brother’s wife incompatible propositions?
Number 6, succinct, cogent, honest, pithy, funny and beautiful. You painted a word meme and I thank you.
Number 6,
And getting his dead brother’s wife to take drugs.
The apple does not fall far from the tree.
What? You’re confessing to having watched CBS and Nora – I used to be somebody – O’Donnell? Say five hail marys and three our fathers and make a firm act of contrition. Now, go and sin no more!
If Hunter ever serves a day in jail I’ll be amazed. The law may apply to you and me, or to former Republican presidents, but not to the Biden’s.
I was not aware that a former president has served time in jail. Could you please post a reference to the FACTs of a former president serving time in jail?
Only an incredibly naive person could be shocked by this verdict. The Biden Reich needed this conviction to justify jailing Trump. Or did you really think the timing was coincidental? Everything and everybody was hand picked to ensure a conviction. Undoubtedly Hunter will be sentenced to jail. Biden will decline to pardon (until after the election).
After four years of seeing a corrupt, weaponized justice system, people really think that this is the one time the DOJ got it right? Just by accident? Probably many of the most delusional will see this as the DOJ righting its course.
It is none of the above. This is just another move in the game to put Trump behind bars and steal another election. Because even the most motivated Trump supporters are going to feel lost when Trump is completely unable to communicate. He can’t campaign, he won’t be able to defend himself against attacks, he won’t be able to comment on current events, it will be as if he didn’t exist. Meanwhile, the people who aren’t quite sure about Donald Trump are going to panic. I imagine Merchan will sentence Trump to four years so the people at home say, “How can he be president if he’s in jail?”
Even though the conviction is almost certain to be overturned, with the glacial pace at which our “justice” system moves, it will be too late for this election cycle, too late for Trump, and too late for the American people.
Meanwhile, Hunter Biden is not the one intentionally destroying this country. That would be Joe. By going after this red herring, conservatives have allowed themselves to be duped yet again.
Didn’t biden get to occupy the white house while running his campaign from his basement? I think that the big picture is not Trump; he did not create the concept of MAGA, he just named it and jumped on board as the spokesman. MAGA has become an entity in and of itself and while Trump is the visible head, the hearts of Americans wanting to rid this nation of all this progressive/socialist/communist flotsam are aimed at that task and will continue even without Trump. This is a war for the future of this nation.
The whole Biden family is so screwed up, it’s hard to imagine them not being targeted by foreign influence. It’s equally hard to imagine that the vast majority of the Democrats aren’t just as bad. Especially those in the media, and elsewhere, who lie as a first language.
Bidens aren’t screwed up…they are Criminal to the CORE…just like the Democrat DOJ, FBI, IRS, CIA, etc
That is true, there are very many intelligent thieves, corrupt officials etc. – what they all lack is a moral core. And we can see just how lacking in any moral sense the prog/left is.
Did Abbe Lowell not read Hunter Biden’s book? According to the DNC/Media Matters trolls on our site, Lowell is a legal genius.
I have been so impressed with Abbe Lowell, ever since he wrote the speech that Hunter read on the Senate steps, which concluded with
“All they have are false facts”
