‘Two-Tiered System of Justice’: Republicans Rip DOJ over Hunter Biden Plea Deal

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, along with a number of other prominent Republicans, slammed the Department of Justice Tuesday after learning that Hunter Biden is likely to avoid jail despite charges of illegally possessing an firearm and not paying taxes for two years in a row.

Let’s be clear, the Department of Justice charges against President Biden’s son Hunter show a two-tiered justice system. Hunter Biden gets away with a “slap on wrist” when evidence revealed by the House Oversight Committee shows that the Bidens were involved in a pattern corruption, influence-peddling, and possible bribery.

The Oversight Committee investigation is not affected by the charges and plea bargain of Hunter Biden. We won’t rest until President Biden’s full involvement in the family schemes is revealed.

Donald Trump, the former president, took to his Truth Social platform to criticize the DOJ for its leniency. The Republican frontrunner for president wrote: “People are going crazy over the Hunter Biden scam with the DOJ!”

We’re seeing history repeat itself once again where Jews are being chased into hiding like they were upon leaving Egypt. So, it’s fitting that in this Passover celebration, we unite to fight back against the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel left seeking to harm us. Will you be an Ambassador for Freedom and help the Coalition for Jewish Values fight back against those wishing harm on Bible-believing Americans?

Donald Trump Jr. also spoke out against the deal. He said it “reeks” of favoritism.

The eldest son of the former president told Scripps News that if you’re a Republican the DOJ under Biden will try to throw you in jail for 100 years. If you have the correct last name, like Hunter’s, then they will treat you with kid glove care and protect you.

Jonathan Turley, political commentator and professor of law at George Washington University, agreed with this sentiment. “Years worth of investigations into Hunter have prevented any serious investigation into the influence peddling operations of the Biden Family.” It will be like ticketing a getaway driver after a bank robbery for critics,” wrote the constitutional law expert.

Vivek Ramaswamy, Republican presidential candidate and former state senator from Virginia, called the plea agreement “a joke”.

The tech entrepreneur said, “It is a feigned withdrawal & shows they are even more afraid than ever before of scrutiny for their real crimes.” The audio recordings of the alleged bribe paid by the Ukrainian executive at oligarch owned Burisma to Hunter & Joe Biden are the real target. The hundreds of billions in U.S. tax payer funds that were returned to Ukraine as a way to repay the favor. “Don’t believe the smokescreen, it is just a deflection.”

Ben Shapiro poked fun at this ruling. He is a Harvard Law graduate and co-founder The Daily Wire. “Remember, folks: you are a threat to the republic if you own a gun and follow all laws. Hunter Biden was a crack addict, who lied about his gun ownership, and whose girlfriend threw away his gun across from a school. He did not do anything wrong.

Mehdi hasan, political commentator for MSNBC, criticised the conservative reaction to the plea bargain.

Hunter Biden was investigated by a Trump-appointed prosecutor. Will Joe Biden, the ‘dictator,’ now appoint an investigator to investigate Jared Kushner’s actions? According to the GOP’s view of the world, shouldn’t this be happening now? Right? Right? ?”
