The only possible upside to today’s news that Hunter Biden is receiving a sweetheart deal from his father’s Department of Justice? Despite what it obviously says about our Republic’s accelerating rate of decay?
The already-existent two-tiered American justice system – one which applies to allies of the Biden Regime and the other under which the rest of us need to live – is now impossible to dismiss as a conservative or “MAGA” conspiracy theory, Save Jerseyans. At least not if you’re a remotely honest person.
According to Fox News, “the president’s son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax. Hunter Biden also agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion agreement regarding a separate charge of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.”
When a defendant’s party registration (or the fact that the DOJ answers to his daddy) dictates said defendant’s legal outcomes? It’s a bad joke to pretend there’s still a genuine “justice” system in this country.
Former U.S. Attorney for the District of Utah Brett Tolman said it all in a lengthy but important Twitter thread after news of Hunter’s plea deal (which will help him avoid prison with probation all while Donald Trump faces a century behind bars) broke on the news wires. While Biden’s behavior is atrocious, today’s development is also part of a trend.
“One can’t truly appreciate how shocking this is by DOJ unless you have watched closely what DOJ has done over the past 30 years,” Tolman tweeted. “This is the the most blatant hypocrisy that screams to the level of injustice many have suffered at the hand of DOJ pounding average Joe defendants.”
“If DOJ treated Hunter Biden like the thousands of no-names who get prosecuted he would be looking at decades in federal prison. Yes, I said decades,” Tolman added in a different thread.

DOJ is violating its own internal policies on this case. The Ashcroft Memo requires they charge the “highest provable offense” and seek consistent sentences with other cases brought by DOJ. This prosecution is an absolute laughable joke. Thousands have been sent to prison for… https://t.co/Bi6iaRiDVD

Thousands of people have been prosecuted under Project Safe Neighborhoods by DOJ. They brag about getting nearly 5 years of prison time on average for their gun cases. If they followed policy, Hunter would be looking at a minimum of 5 years in federal prison. But he’s a Biden.

Since Hunter “brandished” his firearm during the commission of a drug crime, he would be looking at a mand min of 7 years in fed prison. DOJ could also add on top mand min possession of child pornography if any of the girls were underage, plus on top of that years for tax evasion

Everyone can now see what so many have observed growing, the politics of prosecuting. When absolute power is given with no accountability or transparency, then consistency and fairness become obsolete.
