Here’s Tucker on what didn’t happen with Hunter Biden — exactly the opposite of what would happen to any of us, were we accused of even a fraction of it. Highlights include:
“This spring, word began to circulate in Washington that the House oversight committee under its new chairman, Congressman Jamie Comer, had discovered criminal behavior after reviewing thousands of pages of the Biden family’s bank records. Now, publicly to the extent that they responded at all, the White House dismissed the investigation as, of course politically motivated, in any case, irrelevant.”
“Hunter Biden was an adult, so his business dealings had nothing at all to do with his father, in this case the president of the United States. But, in private, everybody understood it wasn’t quite that simple. There has long been overwhelming evidence that Joe and Hunter Biden’s financial lives are not separate at all, but deeply intertwined.”
“Five days later, the oversight committee released its findings, and they were, in fact, devastating. ‘Bank records show the Biden family, their business associates and their companies, their many companies, received over $10million from foreign nationals and their related companies’, the committee wrote, investigators had ‘identified payments to Biden family members from foreign companies while Joe Biden served as vice president and after he left public office.'”
” So, actually, there was something there. It was a scandal. Racketeering, money laundering, wire fraud, those are some of the crimes the Bidens seem to have committed, in addition, of course, to selling out the United States for cash.”
“This morning, Hunter Biden pleaded guilty to pretty much nothing. Biden plead to two misdemeanor tax evasion charges, then entered a diversion of a federal gun charge, that’s it. As far as Merrick Garland’s justice department is concerned, Hunter Biden is done…Hunter Biden who broke federal gun laws can still carry a gun. It’s like it all never happened.”
“…If it was a fair system, Hunter Biden would be first on the list of those next to be charged with a FARA violation, in fact many of them. Hunter Biden was a foreign agent. He never registered as one, but for years that’s exactly what he was. He sold access to his father and other lawmakers to the Chinese and the Ukrainians and countries throughout the world. There’s no debate about that, the FBI has known about it for years. For years they’ve had possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop, but they didn’t charge him for it today. They never will. Why? Well, you know the answer.”
“What does Hunter Biden do for work? That’s a fair question, and tonight we have the answer. For years, Hunter Biden was an influence peddler. Now, Hunter Biden is a ‘self-actualizer’, he ‘self-actualizes’ for a living. He gets in touch with himself, his feelings, and he follows his muse.”
“What can we learn from Hunter Biden’s plea deal today?”
“First off, the obvious. For the children of the people in charge, there are no penalties, there are only upsides. They’re princelings, they can do what they want. You are not, therefore you can’t, so don’t get any ideas about cheating on your taxes or violating federal gun laws unless you want to celebrate next year’s Father’s Day behind the glass in the visitors’ room. The rules definitely apply to you, including the rules you don’t yet know exist.”
“But there is also a deeper lesson here, a more disturbing one. What we’re watching through Hunter Biden’s life and through the Biden administration now entering its third year, is the total inversion of virtue. What was once considered admirable is now derided as stupid, if not racist. That would include achievement, intelligence, honesty, self-control, humility, those were features of the old America, those were yesterday’s virtues, they are gone. In their place, all that we once considered contemptible and repulsive, we’re told to worship that now.”
