A columnist for The Daily Beast wrote earlier this week that Hunter Biden being "dragged through the coals" and being held to stand trial for falsifying his gun form was proof that President Joe Biden didn't have the power to weaponize the Justice Department against Donald Trump. If he did, he would have found some way to keep Hunter out of the courtroom (again).

Plenty reminded him that they did try to keep Hunter from going to trial by offering him a sweetheart deal that would have made his felony gun possession charge just "go away" after a while.

The Washington Post wants you to know that it's relatively rare for prosecutors to charge someone for what Hunter did unless it's attached to another crime, such as an armed burglary. 

It’s relatively rare that prosecutors charge someone with the type of gun violations Hunter Biden faces without attaching them to another alleged crime, such as an armed burglary.

So we *don't* want to be tougher on gun crimes now?

So you are admitting that adding more laws would be a waste of time?

You know the government normally doesn't bring a felony falsifying business records charge (let alone 24) against people in NYC unless it is attached to another crime. However, they did against Trump. Your newspaper didn't seem to care about that. Hmmm, wonder why.

It is relatively rare to take a misdemeanor that's passed that statute of limitations and turn it into 34 felony charges.

Thousands of people are in jail for gun violations. But unlike white and privileged Hunter Biden, they are usually minorities who do not have a national newspaper lying for them.

This editor believes Biden will be found guilty and then given a suspended sentence. That way they can keep claiming that no one is above the law while keeping him out of prison.
