Hunter Biden Trial is a Political Ploy to Protect Joe — and His Compromised DOJ
Plus: From Raisi condolences to ICC's Israel railroading, Biden’s Iran First policy undermines America’s interests
Hunter Biden’s trial is just a political ploy to protect Joe — and the compromised DOJ
Don’t see the Hunter Biden gun case as an effort to hold the president’s prodigal son to account, but as a political maneuver aimed at protecting the prosecutors, perhaps the defendant, and certainly his father.
This sideshow diverts the public’s gaze from far larger corruption: Felony gun charges are piddling when weighed against the selling out of our country, not to mention the leverage Hunter’s dubious dealings and debauchery might have provided our enemies in the way of kompromat.
Yes, it features many “shiny objects,” some juicy, and others genuinely newsworthy, from the riveting trainwreck that was Hunter Biden’s life at the time he committed the alleged offenses — lurid details of his drug abuse, relationships and recklessness — to the vindicating-for-The-Post-but-still-unbelievable Justice Department decision to enter the “laptop from hell” into evidence.
Yet while special counsel David Weiss and, by extension, Attorney General Merrick Garland will play this as the Biden Justice Department’s pursuit of even the president’s son without fear or favor, it’s no such thing.
I explain in today’s New York Post.
Biden’s ‘Iran First’ Policy Undermines America’s Interests And Allies
The Biden administration’s responses to two seemingly unrelated events — coming on the heels of an escalation in its maximum pressure campaign to restrain Israel by in part fomenting a coup against its prime minister — reveal the president’s stubborn commitment to an “Iran First” agenda that imperils America and our allies.
I explain the otherwise inexplicable of the White House’s condolences for the late “Butcher of Tehran,” Ebrahim Raisi, and its official response to the International Criminal Courts’ effort to put the screws to Israel at The Federalist.
