Left-wing talking heads spent Tuesday morning gloating that the justice system is working just fine after President Joe Biden's son was convicted on three felony charges.
MSNBC's legal analyst Andrew Weissmann said the ruling proved President Biden was the "Embodiment of the rule of law" because he "Could have ordered, at any time, his Justice Department to get rid of this case." While President Biden may not have directly ordered his DOJ to "Get rid of this case," the DOJ slow-walked its investigation into Hunter, allowing the statute of limitations to expire on his alleged tax evasion between 2014 and 2015, as IRS whistleblowers have alleged.
Weissmann also said he is "Less interested in the particulars of the case" and more interested that the conviction can be used to juxtapose Biden's response to the verdict and Trump's response to his sham trial's guilty verdict.
CNN's Kate Bedingfield, who formerly worked as the White House Communications Director under Biden, said the verdict "Undermines the argument that Trump's been making about Joe Biden weaponizing the justice system." But as these left-wing talking heads make clear with their comments, the usefulness of Hunter's conviction has little to do with the "Rule of law" and everything to do with bolstering the left's claims that the justice system is not being weaponized against Trump.
It's no surprise that they are pouncing on the younger Biden's trial as an opportunity to pretend the two convictions are in some way comparable.
The leftist logic goes: If President Biden can say he respects the rule of law for a crime that is clearly articulated and has been around for decades, then Trump should also respect what happens when a prosecutor who ran on a "Get Trump" agenda charges him under a novel legal theory in a case overseen by a Biden donor.
If the "Rule of law" actually mattered to these pundits, there would be outrage that Biden's Department of Justice "Disregarded the victims who were sexually exploited by Hunter Biden" after Hunter allegedly paid prostitutes "And used such payments as tax expenses for one of his companies," as summarized by the House Oversight Committee.
