Just like when it <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/05\/10\/doj-strategically-timed-political-arrest-to-coincide-with-press-conference-detailing-evidence-of-biden-corruption\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strategically timed<\/a> its political arrest of a Republican congressman to coincide with a GOP press conference detailing evidence of Biden corruption, the DOJ is working overtime to ensure that Hunter serves as a distraction from the bigger Biden problem. <\/p>\n<p>Since <a href=\"https:\/\/thefdrlst.wpengine.com\/2021\/03\/25\/report-hunter-biden-may-have-lied-on-federal-background-check-form-to-purchase-a-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">at least 2021 when Politico exposed records and receipts,<\/a> the public has known that Hunter, who has an extensive and public history of illicit drug use, appeared to lie about this drug use on the Firearms Transaction Record he filled out during a revolver purchase in 2018. <\/p>\n<p>Government officials such as local police, the Secret Service, FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, likely knew about the lie earlier than 2021 since the .38 revolver soon became the center of a missing gun investigation, in which the Secret Service reportedly tried to <a href=\"https:\/\/thefdrlst.wpengine.com\/2021\/03\/25\/report-secret-service-tried-to-clean-up-biden-family-mess-in-hunters-missing-gun-incident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interfere<\/a>\u00a0on behalf of the Biden family. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-685e307ad1cf81af3177ad1ffd56376f fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-685e307ad1cf81af3177ad1ffd56376f\"><\/div>\n<p>Similarly, most of the preliminary federal investigation into Hunter\u2019s 2017 and 2018 financial wrongdoings was <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/05\/25\/irs-whistleblower-says-doj-slow-walked-hunter-biden-tax-probe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">completed by 2020<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Yet, U.S. Attorney David Weiss delayed bringing charges against Hunter because, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/07\/16\/hunter-biden-probe-prosecutor-499782\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Politico described<\/a>, \u201cthe investigation would become a months-long campaign issue\u201d that would hurt Biden\u2019s presidential chances. It wasn\u2019t until Republicans\u2019 increasingly evidenced probe into the Biden bribery scheme, which the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/06\/20\/did-the-fbi-prevent-delaware-agents-from-investigating-biden-bribery-allegations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">continues to hamper<\/a>, that Weiss finally decided to target the president\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<p>That timing is not a coincidence. As multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/05\/16\/whistleblower-irs-removed-my-entire-investigative-team-on-the-hunter-biden-tax-probe-at-dojs-request\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">brave<\/a> whistleblowers have alleged, it appears that the DOJ once again <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/06\/09\/latest-trump-indictment-proves-deep-state-is-trying-to-rig-yet-another-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">politically interfered<\/a> in a criminal investigation to benefit a Biden family member. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were multiple steps that were slow-walked \u2014 were just completely not done \u2014 at the direction of the Department of Justice,\u201d Internal Revenue Service whistleblower Gary Shapley <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/05\/25\/irs-whistleblower-says-doj-slow-walked-hunter-biden-tax-probe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> in a recent interview with CBS News. \u201cThese deviations from the process seemed to always benefit the subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-443e879c97f35be4ea1bcfe9af1dc7a1 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-443e879c97f35be4ea1bcfe9af1dc7a1\"><\/div>\n<p>The timing isn\u2019t the only indicator that this case was designed to give an illusion of justice while letting a Biden family member off of the hook. <\/p>\n<p>A carefully orchestrated plea deal between the DOJ and Hunter means the younger Biden will only face probation \u2014 not jail time \u2014 for the two misdemeanor tax charges he plans to plead guilty to. A felony gun charge like the one Hunter received holds a maximum of 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fine. The younger Biden, however, will successfully avoid prosecution for his firearm falsehood so long as he forsakes his drug-plagued lifestyle for 24 months and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2023\/06\/20\/us\/hunter-biden-plea-deal#hunter-biden-plea-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">never owns a gun again<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even the DOJ\u2019s internal policies indicate Hunter received a sweet deal. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/archive\/opa\/pr\/2003\/September\/03_ag_516.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2003 memo<\/a> from Attorney General John Ashcroft instructs federal prosecutors to charge and pursue the \u201cmost serious, readily provable offenses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the sole federal prosecuting entity, the Department of Justice has a unique obligation to ensure that all federal criminal cases are prosecuted according to the same standards,\u201d the Ashcroft memo warned. \u201cFundamental fairness requires that all defendants prosecuted in the federal criminal justice system be subject to the same standards and treated in a consistent manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Under Biden and when it comes to charging Bidens, however, that simply isn\u2019t the case. Most of the blame for this can be cast on <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/06\/09\/time-for-house-gop-to-drop-everything-and-target-merrick-garland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attorney General Merrick Garland<\/a>. Shortly after Republicans, many of whom were eager to investigate Biden family corruption, took back the House in the 2022 midterm election, Garland signed off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/media\/1265326\/dl?inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on a memo<\/a> demanding federal prosecutors conduct an \u201cindividualized assessment of the extent to which particular charges fit the specific circumstances of the case.\u201d The six-page document specifically ordered prosecutors to back down when it comes to drug cases.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, many Americans are put behind bars under the same charges Hunter just received but the younger Biden will get off relatively scot-free. <\/p>\n<p>Not even the White House is phased by this discrepancy. In fact, it appears that POTUS and Hunter\u2019s stepmother <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/08\/hunter-biden-calls-jill-an-entitled-c-t-in-texts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">First Lady Jill Biden<\/a> are still <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/05\/08\/bidens-corruption-is-everything-the-corporate-media-hoped-to-get-out-of-the-trump-administration-so-they-wont-cover-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">proud<\/a> of the younger Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president and first lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life,\u201d White House spokesman Ian Sams <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/edokeefe\/status\/1671154847369003012?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>A federal investigation and prosecution of the president\u2019s son should worry the White House and many others. Republicans\u2019 findings related to credible allegations of a Biden bribery scheme should also concern the nation.  <\/p>\n<p>Yet, the administration is suspiciously calm. It\u2019s almost like the Bidens know that, under this <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/09\/4-in-5-americans-see-two-tiered-justice-system-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two-tiered system of justice<\/a> and with help from the corrupt corporate media complex, the DOJ\u2019s weak charges against Hunter mean nothing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0ed5a30dd681488b3530fb63bcbc0a2f fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-0ed5a30dd681488b3530fb63bcbc0a2f\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden\u2019s corrupt Department of Justice is so desperate to distract from Republicans\u2019 expos\u00e9 of the Biden family bribery scandal that it finally brought a handful of weak charges against Hunter Biden for his tax and gun crimes.
