After days of the Left telling us to trust the judicial system, no one is above the law, jury verdicts are sacrosanct and written in stone, and that the courts (which were once hotbeds of systemic racism) are not to be questioned, it'll be a lot of fun to watch how quickly that tune changes with the Hunter Biden trial, which is slated to start today.
Especially now that the presiding judge has thrown a few wrenches into the defense's plans:
Marshall Cohen (@MarshallCohen) ~ NEW: Judge deals setbacks to Hunter Biden on eve of trial, which begins tomorrow. She blocked a key piece of evidence that the defense wanted to use about the gun forms. Second, she refused to allow their expert witness on addiction. Makes a tough case even tougher for Hunter.
Dr. Frog (@PhD_Frog) ~ I cannot understand why he doesn't just plead guilty and get it over with, instead of dragging out old dirty laundry that will be all over the news for weeks. He admits he was using drugs, multiple witnesses are going to say so too, there's a paper trail for the gun ...
"Dr. Frog"??? Is this yer gerontologist, sire?
Because -- despite his father's insistence to the contrary -- the Left believes some people are above the law.
The Dank Knight 🦇 (@capeandcowell) ~ No one is above the law.
Watch how quickly this narrative goes away.
JWF (@JammieWF) ~ Aw, the poor career criminal.
Let us pull out a tiny violin.
Bob’s your Uncle (@p8riot) ~ Democrats are very strict about gun laws.
Except when they break them.
PharaohsMom (@SpottedDogAcres) ~ As you know, addiction isn't an excuse for law breaking. How many convicts are now or have been in prison for committing crimes while under the influence? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? I get why the judge tossed the witness on addiction.
Exactly.
commonsense (@commonsense258 ) ~ You’re not allowed to buy a gun on drugs, so why in the world would being on drugs when you bought a gun be a defense.
Because those laws aren't meant to apply to guys like Hunter Biden. He's (D)ifferent.
Will Collier (@willcollier) ~ Gee, that’s too bad.
SILAWZ (@stucknLAwzmbies) ~ Addiction isn’t a legal defense. It was properly disallowed. The gun forms are also not especially relevant. There’s videotape of him holding the gun while he was a felon.
Yeah, but ... lying on those forms and signing them is a FELONY in and of itself.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ Hunter Biden’s legal team really wanted to argue that being on drugs means you can lie about being on drugs on a federal gun form.
Boo (@IzaBooboo) ~ Biden's addiction has nothing to do with the case, whatsoever.
Nothing.
It's just an excuse for law breaking.
And no one is above the law, remember?
LincolnHillsFrau (@bayareahausfrau) ~ This will be entertaining, but I can't wait for his tax evasion trial when I can post a continuous loop of his father saying everyone must pay their fair share.
We'll make popcorn.
tephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ Hunter Biden is on federal trial for falsifying federal firearm background checks, and after purchasing a firearm, disposed of it in a trash reciprocal near a school with the admitted help of Hallie Biden.
The President, Joe Biden, visited Hallie Biden, at her residence, last week, and is now adjusting his schedule to stay in the locality of the trial, with his son, which starts tomorrow.
Hunter Biden was seen today wearing an official White House shirt with the number "46" on it, with his dad, THE PRESIDENT, and our media, which has adopted "convicted felon" terminology, sees absolutely no problems with any single aspect of this.
Completely incurious.
Weird.
The Dank Knight 🦇 (@capeandcowell) ~ Oh well, I guess he shouldn’t have smoked meth ... then purposely lie on a federal gun form to illegally obtain a gun ... then have one of his family members throw it in a dumpster beside a school full of children. If this were you or I, we would’ve already been thrown in jail.
Biden keeps pushing for an 'assault weapons ban' to punish law-abiding Americans for crimes they didn't commit, while Hunter's defense team plans to use the Second Amendment to protect him.
Biscuit Salad (@BiscuitSalad) ~ The sudden reversal of political opinion on the fairness and sanctity of judicial proceedings will be fun to watch.
We'll all get whiplash from the sudden course correction.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
