In a stunning display of hypocrisy, Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, was seen rubbing shoulders with top politicians and public figures at a lavish state dinner, all while facing federal charges for willful failure to pay federal income tax. The Attorney General himself, Merrick Garland, graced the event with his presence, adding fuel to the fire of controversy.
Hunter Biden’s legal team has confirmed that he intends to plead guilty to the tax charges, but that’s not all. He is also entering into a pretrial diversion agreement for a separate felony charge related to the possession of a firearm. However, it is worth noting that the plea agreement still requires approval from a judge.
Adding further intrigue to the case, House Republicans recently released testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who claim that the Department of Justice, FBI, and IRS interfered with the investigation into Hunter Biden. The allegations suggest that optics played a significant role in determining the course of action, including the decision on whether to execute a search warrant at President Biden’s Delaware home.
Attorney General Garland has found himself on the receiving end of relentless questioning regarding the lenient treatment given to Hunter Biden. While everyday Americans face severe penalties for similar offenses, Hunter Biden seems to be skating by with minor penalties and the possibility of avoiding prison time altogether.
Senator Rick Scott is among those demanding answers from Garland. He rightly insists that the American people deserve a full explanation as to why Hunter Biden struck a plea deal that would spare him from serving any time behind bars. Scott cites other cases, such as that of a Virginia mother facing up to 24 months in prison for firearm possession while using controlled substances, or actor Wesley Snipes receiving three one-year sentences for tax charges.
These examples highlight the stark contrast between how average citizens are treated and the apparent leniency shown to the President’s son.
The reported plea agreement extended to Hunter Biden is a glaring example of a two-tiered approach to criminal justice under the leadership of the Department of Justice.
It begs the question: what message does this send to the American public? Should they believe that the outcome of this five-year investigation and the leniency shown to Hunter Biden are indicative of a fair and just system?
As the investigation continues and more details come to light, it becomes increasingly clear that the Biden family is not immune to scrutiny. The American people deserve transparency and accountability, regardless of one’s political affiliations.
It is crucial to address these double standards and ensure that justice is served equally to all citizens, regardless of their last name or political connections.
