Hunter Biden finally goes down for the guilty counts — but aborted trial still taints White House

No matter what the White House says, everyone believes Joe Biden will pardon his son Hunter and spare him significant jail time, after his guilty plea to felony tax crimes last week, on top of his felony gun conviction in June.
Hunter’s bizarre legal strategy only makes sense in light of the get-out-of jail free card his powerful father has ready for him. He will cry victim and escape accountability for his misdeeds yet again, like he has done all his life.
But the twin convictions are important because they stand forever as an antidote to the lies and gaslighting that are a Biden family specialty.
The president is implicated in every part of the prosecution case that was set to unfold this week — Joe Biden was both the product Hunter sold for millions of dollars to shady foreign interests throughout his vice presidency and beyond, and an active partner who met with Hunter’s Chinese, Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani paymasters for breakfast lunch and dinner, for coffees and handshakes and for chats about the “weather” on speakerphone. If Joe were still running for re-election, the five-week trial so close to the election would have been a political liability that even the most partisan media outlets would have been forced to cover.
