Jonathan Capehart:
When we talked about this earlier, I was asked the question, is this justice?
How do you define it? What does that mean in this Hunter Biden case? For me, look, a special adviser was appointed. This person is someone who was appointed by President Trump and given incredible power in terms of investigating, in terms of doing all kinds of things. And that’s what he came up with, two minor tax charges and then something that involved: a weapons charge.
And meanwhile, you have House Republicans, Speaker Comer, Speaker Comer, who keeps talking about whistleblowers, but he hasn’t talked to them in three years. There seems to be a lot of people fuming about Hunter Biden and it’s not going anywhere.
In many ways, I think it’s a little inappropriate that, okay, you want to go after the president and use his son as a proxy? Okay, that’s the nature of ugly politics these days. But we’re talking about the son of a president who was an addict, who went through very hard times and did very stupid things.
And I’m having a hard time raising this to the level of a twice-indicted former president, now twice criminally indicted, who we should really be talking about and really asking Republicans, why aren’t you talking about him and what’s going on. he Because there are national security implications, rule of law implications that are at stake here, not with Hunter Biden, not all the things that we’ve seen over the last few years. Come on.
