On the newest episode of The Drill Down, Government Accountability Institute sleuths Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers compare the DOJ’s lenient treatment of Hunter Biden with the 37 charges against former President and 2024 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and reach an inescapable conclusion: The ideal of equal justice has been dealt a devastating blow.
“This is further evidence of two standards of justice,” Schweizer says of the Hunter deal, by which the President’s son pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges, for which he’ll draw probation rather than jail time. Hunter Biden will also admit to the felony crime of illegally possessing a gun, but will not plead guilty to that charge; rather, if he stays out of trouble for two years, the gun charge will be dropped.
“They [the Department of Justice] ignored clear violations of law, including FARA violations,” Schweizer says, referring to evidence that Hunter transgressed the Foreign Agent Registration Act in some of his sketchy business dealings abroad. “We have emails that prove [that Hunter and his business associates] knew they were in danger of violating FARA law.”
