It was the least they could do — “literally,” as President Joe Biden might say.
When federal prosecutors won a conviction Tuesday of first son Hunter Biden on three felony gun charges around purchasing a gun illegally while in the throes of drug addiction, they managed to prove in a court of law what was painfully obvious to even a casual observer.
But as conservative candidates and commentators started warning immediately after the verdict was announced, Hunter is still under the umbrella of the president’s protection — because the president is protecting himself, too.
“Hunter Biden made millions of dollars as an unregistered foreign agent, but the DOJ doesn’t want you focused on that,” Arizona Republican congressional candidate Blake Masters wrote in an X post.
“So they gave him a smaller firearms charge, just so the Democrats can claim ‘nobody is above the law’ while covering for the Bidens’ corruption,” Masters said.
