To the left-wing outlet, there is a cognitive dissonance between raging over Donald Trump\u2019s conviction and applauding the prosecution of Hunter Biden. In truth, the disparate handling of the two cases confirms the righteousness of Americans\u2019 umbrage over the get-Trump prosecutions. <\/p>\n<p>One obvious difference between the criminal cases of Donald Trump and Hunter Biden concerns the involvement of politically motivated investigators and prosecutors. Both the Manhattan prosecutor, Alvin Bragg, and Fulton County DA Fani Willis are card-carrying Democrats who became party favorites by targeting Donald Trump. Biden-appointed Attorney General Merrick Garland named Jack Smith as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sidney-powell-is-an-american-legal-giant\/\" title=\"Sidney Powell Is an American Legal Giant\">special counsel<\/a> to prosecute Donald Trump and did so only after the president <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2023\/08\/07\/people-raising-new-questions-about-biden-remarks-regarding-the-prosecution-of-trump-n789117\">complained<\/a> about Garland\u2019s so-called deliberative approach, while \u201cconfid[ing] to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-226909887\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-237435407ec17cde47cc3d462b39c211 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-237435407ec17cde47cc3d462b39c211\"><\/div>\n<p>Special Counsel Smith in turn brought on Michael Dreeben to help lead the prosecution of Trump. Dreeban had previously targeted Trump as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s team. Later, Dreeban would join the team of Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance, Alvin Bragg\u2019s predecessor. While working for Vance, Dreeban successfully <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/12\/18\/meet-lawyer-michael-dreeben-the-man-behind-three-major-anti-trump-operations\/\">obtained<\/a> access to<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/charlie_savage\/status\/1317212611373576197\"> Trump\u2019s taxes and related financial records<\/a>. And according to New York Magazine, Dreeben was part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/qXOLn\">key group of former Mueller prosecutors<\/a> Vance brought in to figure out ways to politically prosecute Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Smith wasn\u2019t the only one to stack his legal team with anti-Trumpers. Both Vance and Bragg <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/03\/joe-bidens-fingerprints-are-all-over-the-criminal-prosecutions-of-trump\/\">brought<\/a> on Biden-connected lawyers to work exclusively on the Trump investigation in Manhattan, first from the \u201cBiden-Era N.Y. Power Center\u201d law firm of Paul, Weiss, and later from the Biden administration\u2019s Department of Justice.\u00a0At least three career prosecutors in the Manhattan DA\u2019s office asked to be removed from the investigation of Trump, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/04\/07\/politics\/alvin-bragg-trump-investigation\/index.html\">reportedly<\/a> over concerns about the handling of the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, it was career investigators who worked the Hunter Biden investigation, and political appointees and D.C. bureaucrats who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/09\/14\/baltimore-fbi-agent-agrees-weiss-didnt-have-ultimate-authority-to-charge-hunter-biden\/\">mucked<\/a> up their case. As IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley testified, the DOJ and its tax division gave special treatment to Hunter Biden and had conflicts of interest throughout that important investigation.<\/p>\n<p>While David Weiss was a Trump-appointed U.S. attorney, he nonetheless answered to Biden\u2019s DOJ and needed cooperation from other Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys to bring charges in other districts. When they refused, the most serious charges against Hunter lapsed, forever barred by the statute of limitations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fd34a8f064a3bcb5e0bcc0c87ed2f2e9 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-fd34a8f064a3bcb5e0bcc0c87ed2f2e9\"><\/div>\n<p>In contrast, the Manhattan DA\u2019s office <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/04\/05\/alvin-braggs-trump-indictment-is-even-more-pathetic-and-partisan-than-we-could-have-imagined\/\">breathed<\/a> new life into what would have been time-barred misdemeanors of making false business records. The five-year statute of limitations for those offenses had already passed, leading the Democrat DA to charge Trump with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/are-the-charges-brought-against-the-trump-organizations-cfo-part-of-a-witch-hunt-experts-weigh-in\/\" title=\"Are The Charges Brought Against The Trump Organization\u2019s CFO Part Of A Witch Hunt? Experts Weigh In\">falsifying business records<\/a> to conceal another crime, which was a felony subject to a longer statute of limitations. <\/p>\n<p>Not only did the Manhattan DA concoct a crime to avoid the statute of limitations and charge Trump, but Bragg turned what would have been a run-of-the-mill misdemeanor into a felony. In contrast, until a federal judge questioned the propriety of the plea bargain the government had struck with Hunter Biden, the prosecutors had given the president\u2019s son a pass on several felony charges. The sweetheart deal gifted to Hunter allowed him to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax offenses and completely avoid any felony tax or gun charges. <\/p>\n<p>However, when it came time for Hunter to enter his guilty plea, Judge Maryellen Noreika quizzed the parties on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-probe-merrick-garland-over-hunter-bidens-atypical-plea-deal\/\" title=\"House Republicans question Merrick Garland about Hunter Biden's unusual plea agreement.\">unusual plea agreement<\/a>. Could the government use a pretrial diversion agreement to memorialize the federal government\u2019s commitment not to charge Hunter Biden for other crimes? Federal prosecutors acknowledged that they had never seen a deal crafted in quite this way before.<\/p>\n<p>While prosecutors were willing to push through the aberration of a plea deal for the president\u2019s son, Judge Noreika asked for further briefing. The deal then fell through, resulting in Weiss\u2019s office obtaining a grand-jury indictment on both the gun and tax charges. Those charges, however, were not the result of a get-Biden effort but the consequences of the failure of their let-Biden-off plan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-270abd6846e5710c4d538ee3283780a8 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-270abd6846e5710c4d538ee3283780a8\"><\/div>\n<p>Even now, with Hunter in the heat of trial, the contrast couldn\u2019t be sharper. Judge Noreika is running a methodical trial, keeping the focus on the charged crimes. And while the laptop has been shown to the jury and some material from the hard drive has been entered into evidence, none of the salacious material from the laptop is being paraded before the jury. <\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s jury, on the other hand, heard Stormy Daniels\u2019 irrelevant and graphic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/elections\/2024\/05\/07\/stormy-daniels-trump-hush-money-trial-testimony\/73600241007\/\">testimony<\/a> of her supposed sexual encounter with the former president. Ruling upon ruling by the Manhattan judge came down against Trump, which isn\u2019t surprising given the judge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/04\/06\/politics\/judge-merchan-trump-biden-contribution\/index.html\">donated<\/a> to Joe Biden\u2019s presidential campaign and his daughter <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/03\/30\/us-news\/dem-clients-of-daughter-of-judge-in-trump-trial-raised-90m-off-case\/\">fundraises<\/a> off the trial for Democrat candidates.<\/p>\n<p>For all these differences, there is one similarity between the current trial of Hunter Biden in Wilmington, Delaware, and Trump\u2019s just-ended Manhattan trial: the political predilections of the jury pool. In 2020, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gothamgazette.com\/city\/9961-breaking-down-2020-vote-new-york-city-biden-trump#:~:text=Overall%2520in%2520New%2520York%2520City,%2525%253B%2520a%2520margin%2520of%25201%252C630%252C077.\">won<\/a> Manhattan by 84.5 percent to Trump\u2019s 14.5 percent, with the breakdown in Wilmington <a href=\"https:\/\/elections.delaware.gov\/results\/html\/index.shtml?electionId=GE2020#electionReport5\">slightly higher<\/a> at 87 percent for Biden, to Trump\u2019s not-even 12 percent. This similarity, though, may soon provide the final proof of the two-tiered system of justice \u2014 by acquitting the president\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cb8694103339a460d4858ceb5f39c612 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-cb8694103339a460d4858ceb5f39c612\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN&#8217;s headline stated, &#8220;Hunter Biden trial reveals fairness in America&#8217;s justice system,&#8221; as his criminal case began.
