Jonathan Turley criticizes Hunter indictment, says it won’t please many.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley has weighed in on Hunter Biden’s recent plea deal, stating that it is unlikely to satisfy many critics. Turley predicts that critics will view the deal as a mere slap on the wrist for Biden, with little consequence.

In an article he wrote a year ago, Turley anticipated that Biden would strike a deal that avoids prison time but admits guilt to lesser charges unrelated to his father. He believes that this outcome will not be enough for many people.

“The Post is reporting that Hunter sealed a deal similar to the one that I discussed last year as a way to defuse this scandal. It is a plea on tax and gun charges that could now close out the scandal without jail time,” Turley tweeted.

“Hunter will admit to illegal possession of the gun but enter a diversion program — usually an avenue to avoid jail and allow expungement,” Turley continued. “Years of investigation into Hunter appear to have evaded any serious inquiry into the influence peddling operation of the Biden family. For critics, it will be like ticketing the get-away driver after a bank hold up.”

Turley goes on to explain that legacy media outlets, many of which have ignored or even actively suppressed stories related to Hunter Biden, now face a challenging situation.

“After years of burying the story, the media is now attempting an even more precarious exercise. It is called controlled demolition: the implosion of a scandal to limit any blast effect on nearby structures or individuals,” he said, suggesting that the goal of such an exercise would be to protect the president from any possible repercussions.
