After the Trump guilty verdict, Republican lawmakers complained about a two-tiered justice system, but Hunter Biden’s criminal trial shows that America’s legal institutions are non-partisan.

Republican lawmakers are attacking the US criminal justice system as “rigged” and “shameful” after former president Donald Trump’s criminal convictions, calling the case a blatant example of political persecution. But in a twist of legal happenstance, Hunter Biden’s criminal trial began in Delaware just days after the Trump verdict was announced.
On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer sits down with former US attorney Preet Bharara and New Yorker columnist Susan Glasser for their reaction to Trump’s unprecedented conviction, the even more unprecedented GOP response, and whether Republican accusations of a “two-tiered” justice system and political witch hunt holds water. In a stunning twist of legal irony, President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is currently on trial for lying about paperwork he used to purchase a gun in Delaware.
Bharara pointed out how unlikely it would be, if Trump won the presidency and somehow Don Jr. was indicted and put on trial, that the former president would stand idly by and not comment on it or try to get involved somehow, which Bremmer agreed was “inconceivable.” Not only that, but the timing of Hunter’s trial isn’t good for Biden, who wants the messaging right now to be squarely on Trump’s legal woes.
“You couldn’t even make this up,” Glasser argues, “That literally, while the Democrats finally get a couple days where they’re focusing the lens squarely on Donald Trump and his fitness for office, then boom, two days later, Hunter Biden is on trial. The timing is a reminder that Biden can’t seem to catch a break.”

I hope this goes to the supreme Court and overturns these federal gun laws as unconstitutional

There is much we do not know about the HB trail - except that for a good chunk of his adulthood he was a terrible human being. But the idea that this recent trial, on the least serious charges potentially available, shows that system is working is farcical. There would not even have been this trial except for a sharp judge who noticed the highly irregular charge sheet and plea deal.
Why the Trump appointed prosecutor let the statute of limitations run out on the most serious we do not yet know. Nor do we know why the DOJ prevented the IRS from investigating the possible connection to Hunters very lucrative job, Devin Archer, the firing of the Ukrainian DA, and the big guy. Other than that it looks like everything is on the up and up.
