The Hunter Biden trial is only a tactic to shield Joe and the DOJ

View the Hunter Biden gun case not as an attempt to hold the president’s son accountable, but as a political strategy aimed at safeguarding the prosecutors, possibly the defendant, and definitely his father.

This distraction shifts attention away from more significant corruption: Felony gun charges pale in comparison to the betrayal of our nation, not to mention the potential leverage Hunter’s questionable dealings and debauchery could have provided our adversaries in terms of kompromat.

Although it includes many “shiny objects,” some intriguing and others genuinely newsworthy, from Hunter Biden’s tumultuous life at the time of the alleged offenses to the Justice Department’s decision to include the “laptop from hell” as evidence, it is not the unbiased pursuit of the president’s son by the Biden Justice Department, as portrayed.

Even if Hunter is found not guilty or faces a hung jury, his defense team is appealing to the sympathy of jurors from a state where the Bidens hold royal status.

Despite the guilt or innocence of Hunter Biden, this trial puts a spotlight on the shortcomings of both prosecution and defense.

Understand how we arrived at this point: Key figures at the Justice Department and FBI intentionally undermined the real case against Hunter Biden for years.

The impending Los Angeles case against Hunter Biden is marginally less misleading.

The crux of Hunter Biden’s legal issues is not about sex, guns, drugs, or even taxes—it is about the global international influence-peddling operation of the First Family and the extensive effort to conceal it.
