Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said Monday that “no American” could get away with the gun and tax crimes allegedly committed by Hunter Biden.
President Joe Biden pardoned Hunter on Sunday in relation to a conviction over the illegal purchase of a gun in 2018 and charges connected to his alleged failure to pay taxes, stating that his son was unfairly prosecuted on crimes that Americans “are almost never brought to trial” or face jail time for. McCarthy said Americans are commonly charged with these sorts of crimes and that it would be nearly impossible to avoid jail time for similar charges.
“So if I rob a bank, but I bring the money back, that’s okay? It’s idiotic. As far as the gun case is concerned, that was not what they call a lie-and-try case where you fill out the form but you don’t get the gun because they find out there’s a problem,” McCarthy said. “[Hunter] actually got the gun. Those cases get brought all the time. And as for a tax violation, it’s just like the bank robbery, it’s a little bit of a drastic example, but I think it makes the point. Paying back the money that you owe doesn’t mean that you didn’t commit the crime. It’s not a defense. So it’s just — those are just silly arguments and in point of fact, he got cut break after break because he was Hunter Biden, because he was the president’s son. This idea that he was singled out for that reason, they actually tried to make the case against him going away which is a break that no American would get.”
