President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of misdemeanor tax evasion, stemming from a long-term investigation into his taxes and foreign business deals. According to court papers, Biden reached a tentative deal that will most likely keep him out of jail after admitting to illegal possession of a firearm as a drug user and agreeing to meet conditions decided in court.
Some GOP leaders believe the plea deal is another example of a two-tiered system of justice, but Straight Arrow News contributor Dr. Rashad Richey argues the Right’s focus on the president’s son is misguided. Richey believes Hunter Biden’s misdemeanors pale in comparison to the egregious crimes committed by former President Trump and other senior White House officials.
Let’s look at something inside of the White House that should really strike you as, let’s just say, uncommon.
Unlike Hunter Biden, Kushner was in the White House — that is the son-in-law of Donald Trump. Kushner was a senior White House official. He received $2 billion from the Saudis after he left the White House.
It’s not a loan, ladies and gentlemen. Nobody loans another human being two billion damn dollars. Nobody’s going to pay that back. That’s a payment. And then Donald Trump himself, after he leaves the White House, having monetary dynamics connected to him, by way of the Saudis also — he gets paid, too.
Everybody walks away with money. You see that is likely a bigger crime than the crack pipe or the laptop or the misdemeanor tax evasion of Hunter Biden.
